Scott, I've just been into my cold dark barn to get a wrench and had to stop and lift the cover on the 961. My thoughts were "ooh, they don't make them like that anymore". Roll on the Spring
That is where I bought mine as well as a few others on the forum. I know the bike. They ordered it for a customer after they stopped selling them. The bike came, the customer backed out. They too got fed up with the factory. No way will they be asking 20+ for that bike. Bet it could be had for 15k+. They would really like to unload it. They even refuse to work on Nortons anymore.Actually, there are some around that aren't second hand yet. There's at least one here in the US that is still new on the dealer's floor. It's at Gold Coast Motorsports in New York. It's a 2017 Cafe Racer MkII, which I think is the latest year imported to the US. They are not showing a price, but I expect it is $20K+. That's the only new one I could find in the US, but I suspect there are at least a few more in other countries at dealers.

Just out of interest, is there a best year to go for? I'm assuming it has to be a mk11 and guessing that, knowing Norton, it's not as simple as latest is best.
If any ones interested give us a shout 2019 street 610 miles iam the second owner service by Tameside with single exhaust fitted all original exhausts brackets included change of circumstances make me a offer
For your info Thor have just listed a new one at £22k. Makes yours look well priced.Paid over 17 k make me a offer no 28 of 50
There has been one for £18k for some time on Ebay and I'm not sure if this is the same one, just with an extra £4k added to the price and called a 'Sure investment'! Maybe some dealers are seeing this as an opportunity!For your info Thor have just listed a new one at £22k. Makes yours look well priced.
Looks like it... so should we. Like I said earlier, it’s very unlikely they’ll make any more 961’s.There has been one for £18k for some time on Ebay and I'm not sure if this is the same one, just with an extra £4k added to the price and called a 'Sure investment'!

Good luck with the sale Ray, the 961 variants are not going quickly - especially now it is without warranty support. If you need a quickish sale then you might want to consider the bike megastore in Macclesfield - you won’t get as much for it but at least you might be able to sell.Yes I’ve a 2019 street no 28 would sell at reasonable offer 610 miles
Think I may have a buyer who has recently sold there’s should no tomorrow if not will try themGood luck with the sale Ray, the 961 variants are not going quickly - especially now it is without warranty support.

or probably buy low and sell low, at least for a considerable time. Not a sensible investment bet!!Just what I was thinking - maybe I can reverse my usual strategy of “ buy high - sell low “
They said they made no money on these.
