Norton have brought out a new bike the V4. 195 bhp and no fancy electronics like ems to keep it simple and reliable. Phew that's a serious bit of kit. It'll be available from bike shops AFTER the Isle of Man TT where it's being raced. Oh if only I had the dosh!

I love the look of the new Nortons and would love to own one.. Think it would look good as a peice of furniture in my living room..far to good to put on the road..

Not quite a Norton but with a bit of imagination and a hacksaw...

[firestorm1997]

and sorry but I have a vivid imagination but it's not that good....

[firestorm1997]

it's an aprilia V4 motor in a spondon frame, ohlins, brembo etc.
the only norton bit is the sticker on the tank.

Was gona say there is no wombles way on earth Norton have produced a bike engine with 195bhp and i bet when its on the dyno the aprila motor used isn't chucking out 195bhp

that duke 1199 was supposed to be around that nark but when MCN put it on a dyno its 170 something

We'll see how good it is when the TT starts and Mackenzie puts it through its paces. Will be interesting

It probably DOES make 195bhp, on a test bench. transmission losses bring it down to 180 probably. it'll be competitive though you watch.
Norton PLC own Spondon now anyway so it is a Norton.
lets see if they do a pseudo JPS paint scheme.
