Or red.

Or made in Bologna.

It is nice but the bloke who owns Norton comes across as a strange one.

I like that they have sourced and manufactured the majority of it in the UK .
we used to have a reputation as being the best engineers in the world , I'd like that to be the case again .
we need to make things of value if we are to ever have a working economy .
our (luxury) car industry was well respected but is now owned by germans and indians .

I don't think it'd make an only bike. You'd want it to be a 2nd bike...or 3rd even.
It'd be like driving a Lamborghini to the grocery store otherwise.

And what's wrong with taking a lambo to the shops? If I could, I would.

We don't ride bikes because it's convenient.
