Norton V4 195 bhp
Norton have brought out a new bike the V4. 195 bhp and no fancy electronics like ems to keep it simple and reliable. Phew that's a serious bit of kit. It'll be available from bike shops AFTER the Isle of Man TT where it's being raced. Oh if only I had the dosh!

Not quite a Norton but with a bit of imagination and a hacksaw...

When subjected to an electrical voltage of at least 50 volts, a cat's tail always points toward the north.

Re: Norton V4 195 bhp
It probably DOES make 195bhp, on a test bench. transmission losses bring it down to 180 probably. it'll be competitive though you watch.
Norton PLC own Spondon now anyway so it is a Norton.
lets see if they do a pseudo JPS paint scheme.![Clapping :clap:](./images/smilies/icon_clap.gif)

That bugger would get the test bench to go round corners......
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
