Naysayers?
That article literally repeats everything everywhere else has been saying for over a year.

I won’t buy another new Norton ever again. Doesn’t matter if they have a dealership in my backyard or not. They proven themselves to me.

Do you own a 961 or V4?

Show us your TVS Norton when you get yours. 👍

Thanks for posting. Few snippets I was’nt aware of here - odd voice but he’s obviously put time into producing it.

First time we’ve heard reference to the specific countries where the bikes will be first released I think.

Was’nt really aware of the extent of TVS’s involvement with racing either, in particular detail of the Dakar colab with Sherco.

More negativity from me -
Why are new TVS bikes predominantly off-road scramblers/trail bikes? Scrape off the surface of the different models and underneath is the same scrambler. I can understand this when targeting countries with poor roads or extensive desert/wilderness areas. Are they really the type of bike the new generation of motorcyclists want in, for example, the UK?

Also, I must be completely out of touch if 180 to 200 kg for a smallish twin scrambler is considered lightweight.
Just my opinion, that’s all. My machines range from Ariel 3 through a ‘68 Commando to a 25 ton 03 railway shunter so I am not fixated on just classic Nortons.
