it's like a motorcycle version of that one star wars nubien cruiser
superbe 😍
the most beautiful thing on 2 wheels I have ever seen in 30 years of riding bikes on the road thank you Norton.
The seat on the carbon fiber model is exquisite!! I mean the entire bike is superb! Maybe I'll have a Norton sitting next to my Triumph next year. British bikes have the best mix of character, attention to detail, and performance in the world right now!
First bike I wouldn't change a single thing on… Not one piece of aftermarket tomfoolery
Nortons always go up in value. I'm old but have learned this much
STUNNING.
