What's happening at Norton? Sale to TVS, massive investment, new bikes...

The hype for EICMA builds. Norton @ 14 - briefly. Guess we’ll see in a few days!

Would love to be there - lots of pics’n’info from those that are please.

Fingers crossed that the bikes are well received.

 
Random post on the NOC site - another take on what’s on the way!

Obscured picture from the EICMA stand blows that list out of the water🤣! Nowt wrong with a bit of last minute speculation!!

V4 Sports - V4 Naked - 2 x 450 Adv variants?

We’ll know for sure in a couple of days👍!

As an aside, doubt Norton will be bringing out a cafe V4... more likely a naked and or a streetfighter, ADV... more comfy riding position for the more er.. mature riders who could afford one.
 
OK everyone.
Get to bed early tonight.
Tomorrow will be very trying for many on this forum so you need to get plenty of rest.
Gotta be ready to strongly hate, love, or be totally indifferent towards the new Norton models.:p
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
 
We may need to hold off (just a little) on much other than the aesthetics, price point and inital spec until we’ve had some road tests conducted.

Either way, it’s gonna be interesting!!!
 
The V4 is better than I expected. So glad its road focused, no silly aero. Like to see it in other colours.. black for me. Surprised the twin is 585cc, and not 450. Means it'll be allowed to be more powerful than other A2 compliant bikes. The ADV look isnt for me, but that's where the demand is. Look forward to see other future models with these engines.
 
Styling is gonna be divisive! The ManxR I’m likin’ 👍 the more I look at it; really looks like a bike you need to see in the flesh though (to feel the quality and appreciate the aesthetics). Think they’ve been pretty forward leaning with how modern they’ve styled it - brave? A move away from overt angles, aero and aggression of the competition to sorta semi-Tron.

206 HP and great torque figures, further down the rev range than the competition, should make for an awesome road bike.

Not so sure about the Manx (naked) styling! Especially that front end! Again, need to see it in the flesh.

Have’nt seen the twins; anybody got any decent images yet?
