Norton's storied comeback is complete with 1200cc V4 Manx R supersport

I had several sets blow out from under my Ski-Doo in 1998. No more of that nonsense.

Ohlins must have too busy...
 
Asian "client" logo-cast covers on cookie-cutter engines in SLIGHTLY different frames, with all the usual high dollar bits like suspension, wheels, brakes, ECU & injectors, with UJM control clusters, and modern logo TOTALLY disconnected from the past except the little tiny "pre-apostrophe" that is supposed to make old guys yearn for the past, with nearing 6 digit price tags.

NO, thank you. I thank you, NO.

(and they probably won't beat any of the "big brands" similar bikes, never mind the Italians)
 
I'd be surprised if one of these 1200cc V4 CGI models ever becomes available in the USA through a dealership. I don't think there is enough delusion mixed in the Norton cool aid to convince anyone with common investment sense to open a Norton dealership. Importers, if there are still any left, might get some over here if the bikes ever do get manufactured. Very niche for rich guys that don't give a rats rear end about what Norton was in the 1970's, and want to park a pretty Norton next to their Ferrari collection.
