Same thing happened to me. Ordered in Aug '17 and STILL don't have the bike.My dealership ordered one as a favor to a customer, although no longer a Norton dealer. He waited 3 months, the bike landed in the US and got sent back for non EPA compliance.
Regardless of the strictness of the regulations, new forms and inspections are required and this process, as I understand it, hasn't happened yet.Wow. I thought Euro 4 was much stricter than the US regs?
If so, it should be ‘in hand’ to get the admin sorted I imagine.
From what I gather, this has been a factor ever since the re-design of the engine to make it quieter so as to comply with the European regulations. The changes, essentially, amount to an entirely new engine that will have to go through the whole emissions and DOT re-certification all over again.

. Richard 7 told me the tale of how the SF 961 came about with the USD forks & import regs or EPA ,Norton got round it that time ,perhaps u can tell us all again rich ?WOW!!!!
Maybe you are the customer my dealership was referring to. NY??What I was told is that the recent re-design of the engine to make it comply with European noise emissions standards resulted in the engine having to be re-certified for entry into the US and that, as yet, has not happened.
Gold Coast?Maybe you are the customer my dealership was referring to. NY??
