AFAIR, the liquidators of the old Norton do actually have some cash in hand, so owners may not be totally out of pocket.

I bet some owners bought it as an investment.

Fat chance of the value rising :D

The cat's probably worth a bob or two.

It will be “rare.”

You are no longer a fool for buying it, as soon as you sell it to a greater fool.

I wouldn't necessarily right em off just yet...all sorts of crap will be forgotten in 30 year's time. Especially when you consider there will be even fewer now.


Bit of long game though for sure!

Well, now the new bloke says...

"When will the new Norton’s new V4 go into production? Hentschel addressed that question as well, saying that due to various circumstances, they can’t offer an exact start date..."

Or a delivery date. Or a proper specification. Or fix the fucked bikes that the last management sent out.
Or anything else.

Seems legit :lol:

I wouldn’t buy one. I’m rubbish at finding greater fools.
