Like the look of this.
Don’t like the price.
Don’t like the hard seat.
Don’t like the unreliability.
That’s a ‘no’ from me.

Re: Interesting
You have to like pushing bikes cause if you got one of those you would be pushing it................a lot.
Never really took to Norton, or triumph for that matter. Had them in the 60s & early 70s........bad memories.
Overnight\\\\\
NOTE : EDIT : Forgotten, in the 90s i had a Triumph Trophy 1200 Triple. Bought in Dubai and shipped to UK after a year. I only bought it cause i loved the coulor, Nightshade, a sort of Purpleish ish. And i think that bike was ok ish. Remember it was very top heavy.

The Norton's nice to look at but I think it's too small for you anyway, even if it worked
They're not going to get any more popular unless they cost less and work better. I wonder if anyone ever rides one more then a few miles at the weekend. I can't see it as anyone's commuter bike.

Agree, as did Triumph although Triumph have broadened their range and expanded into more modern theme also.
Ariel have had a go at reviving an old name although modern bike, and a few others.
Personally i think only BSA would stand a chance nowadays with a retro bike.
