The seat looks like something you would find on one of the rolling horrors that Ducati used to spawn, if you buy this bike, I would recommend you also buy lots of hemorrhoid cream (as you're gonna need it).
I like the bike, but the exhaust cans look shit - like they are made out of bits of waste metal hastily welded together, they look half-assed like an after-thought
fuck the purists. the original norton is dead and gone. these guys are trying to come up with a new commando. i say more power to them. not every maker can be lucky like the enfield, friking run the same design for 60 years and still running...
Trick parts, beautiful proportions, shiney, great fit and finish, unbearably slow and fantastically expensive. This is what I'd buy if I had nothing better to do with money and lacked the ability to build my own.
Nobody who has reviewed this bike has ever said that it was slow. The bike is not a superbike. If those are your expectations, then you're "fantastically" clouded. This bike gets great write ups on almost all points. The only people hating on this bike are purists.

Beautiful machine. classic cafe style with modern safety bits. i like how theyve maintained the old style look of the engine.

Seen one of these at a IMS not long ago. Pretty badass bike. More sporty than the thruxton.

@sooupdragon Or just don't be old. Not everyone who buys Nortons, Triumphs, etc... is drawing a pension. I bought my first Triumph when I was 22.

It's apparent this guy knows nothing about Norton's. No doubt a Hardley fag.

You can buy three 1970s Commandos, or two new Triumphs, for the price of one of these -
