Hello all, I'm a long time lurker and reader of this forum and I appreciate all the information that I read on here. I've been following the "saga" of Norton since the relaunch a few years ago with great interest as I love the look of the bike. I was able to sit on one at a local show here and the feel is just right as well for me. I have a Triumph Street Triple R and even the weight of the 961 is similar. Norton Canada has obviously gone through a number of changes and sales pitches (through dealers) over this time and I still am weary of buying one without the ability to test drive one.
My broad question is right now, there is a 2013 Sport for sale at what I think is a good price. It has only 255 miles on it but the warranty is only for 2 months. I've read about a number of issues that these early bikes have had and was looking for advice of buying this versus a new 2016 or 2017 model at a much higher price. Can somebody expand on what changes Norton has made over the last 3-4 years and are the bikes doing a bit better in the service area?
Thanks for your time and advice.
