Nor riding the machine when, where and how owners choose. If that guy is gaining enjoyment and satisfaction from riding to the coffee shop and back then good on him. He’s ploughed money into the marque and is providing a rolling advertisement. At least he’s still riding it at his elevated age. Wonder how many 961’s are up on plinths or suspended from SWR in expensive man caves. Now that is a travesty !

I reckon the V4 will sell because it’s an (extremely expensive) exclusive machine, from a re-invigorated iconic marque (probably the most iconic?) and is also drop dead gorgeous! In the main, I think this sort of clientele are’nt gonna care too much about the ‘2’. Deep down, in a place that bikers rarely go, we know that we aren’t really capable of using a 200+ hp rocket ship anyway. Other than if we have the opportunity to scare ourselves shitless on the track!

Don’t care who buys it or indeed, how they use it as long as it sells!

Long live Norton.

[QUOTE="Stephen_Spencer, post: 577386, member: 8862"] Nor riding the machine when, where and how owners choose. If that guy is gaining enjoyment and satisfaction from riding to the coffee shop and back then good on him. He’s ploughed money into the marque and is providing a rolling advertisement. At least he’s still riding it at his elevated age. Wonder how many 961’s are up on plinths or suspended from SWR in expensive man caves. Now that is a travesty :eek:! I reckon the V4 will sell because it’s an (extremely expensive) exclusive machine, from a re-invigorated iconic marque (probably the most iconic?) and is also [I][B]drop dead gorgeous!
