But dont you think it just looks like a Monster? Nowt particularly different about it other than it is a Norton.
Does look nice in black Timbo :)

Dunno about the Monster thing, maybe a slight similarity with the original M900-like the silouette? Apart from that it looks very different to me.

Some peoples internal recognition chips have become corrupt I think. I keep hearing that all sports bikes look the same as well :D

I dont think there has been a year in history that has seen so many different styles from so many manufacturers, Aprillia and BMW have thrown in some new ideas as well. The Norton looks nothing like the Monster IMO where as the new Suzuki Gladius is very Monsteresque with an identical trellis frame.

Saw a new Gladuis whilst out on the bike yesterday. Looked quite nice.

Also saw a B-King. With 2 Brothers pipes on. Sounded glorious-but just looked all wrong to me :( fecking big thing too.

The B king is a hell of a bike but not for me, I think its more Timbos type of beasty :biggrin :biggrin . The original pipes on the B king are bloomin horrible.

That's becasue all motorcycles are merely chipolata substitutes.

So they're organ pipes.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
