I hear that Norton are coming back again.
Love it. Have always had a special soft spot for Nortons. Except for the boat tailed Roadster in the 70's they have been consistently beautiful, purpose-built machines.
Of course no one this side of a multi-millionaire could afford one of these today, but still nice to look at.
Very nice - there's something about the British bikes that are timeless!
Again you make me crazy! What a stunning motorcycle! Will you buy it for me? lol
