    A gorgeous bike but the price is..... wow, over the top.
    At least their facilities seem a bit more upmarket than when I did the factory tour a few years ago.. it was best described as ...umm Quaint back then and their assembly line looked like it was still back in the 60's. Truely "hand built"

    Wish them luck. Going to be tough as the world goes into recession. Apparently they are still going to make the twins, so might make it if the Indian parent company has deep pockets.

    Good luck Norton, you might sell a few to those with deep pockets.
    I also saw a rumour that they were working on a new single cylinder model called the Manx to compete with the recently released BSA Gold Star.

    Hopefully they would make a Manx a lot lighter. The new Gold Star is a porky 470 lbs. kerb weight.
