We've been reading about the new Nortons for a couple of years now and still no indication when / if they are coming to Aus.

Any one have any news I might have missed?

Dam got me all excited there stumbly--thought you had some news--cheers Grim

Haven't heard anything about they're arrival, wouldn't mind owning one when they do finally get here! I watched a series on Turbo Max (Foxtel) recently called Cafe Racer, they did a test ride and segment on the new Norton and by all accounts they are reportedly a brilliant bike to ride!

im buying one when their here.  im gonna put harley badges all over the fucker.  its gonna look rad. 

Yeah I want one when they get here, depends if the house manager will release funds to me for it.
Haven't heard any news since motorcycle trader did a bit of a test on them over in Europe. Norton management said they will be releasing to new markets including Aus, but that was a while ago now.

 

They asked for a deposit, then after that the asked for the balance to be paid.

No way would I buy a bike on those terms, sounds like a scam to me. Maybe they will deliver but its a lot of money to just give a so called company who may never deliver the goods. After all its only a rehashed Norton, I like the old Nortons but they won't be getting my money.

A bit like buying a rehashed Harley but at least you can see the model on the floor and you get the bike when you hand over the cash :-)

I believe someone in WA is the importing agent and they do look good. In the low $30's from memory. Come in a couple of formats. If I can find the article I'll post it.

 

Thanks for the clip Sonny.

Styling wise I like but the motor didn't have quite the growl I was hoping for; but maybe that's to do with the wind noise.

Great to see that classic name back on a tank & motor.

 

Thanks gents,

Low $30k seems a bit rich - the frumpy trumpy's are only 13 or 14K.
At that price I may be waiting awhile or not at all or maybe a Dyna as a second bike.

If it handles as well as my John Player Special did, cool. Love the Nortons,and the trumpy's,BSA"s,Velo's, AJ's....................

Looks better than the 1959-600cc feather bed and 1963-650 SS I rode as a teenager. Wonder if it'll have the same oil leaks...lol.

Cheers Chromer, thats done it. Now I just need to find the money dammit.
Hey Beagle, I'll have either 1 of those. Just sit in the shed and droole over them....

Has he got a gammy leg or only ever worn sliders on one side? Looks like a tool sitting on it like that! Bike looks sweet though
