That's the signature series price. After that the prices drip down to $10,000.

I really like the tail section, the way the stop light is integrated. The 12R would look cool like that.

Yeah.. I was thinking the same thing. That tail section would look badass on an R.. I think it might even look good on an XB. We need a photochopper...

Slip that tail section onto an S2 and M2 while at it if someone doesn't mind.

That look really good.
The specs look REEELY good though: http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/bike/bike_961specs.asp

I really like this. Who wants to buy me one?

.....edit.....

Is this the same outfit that had a prototype video out that was pulling roll-on wheelies coming off of corners?

Here is the Norton I am restoring for my boss.

Wheel hubs are off to chrome, and a few more things went out for powder coat.

A big ol' box of parts showed up today whoo hoo.

I think I am going to have to buy this bike off of him when I am done LOL

That's the view I remember of most Nortons, yup, but generally with a bigger oil puddle underneath!

Innes-
I concur, I've always wanted a Norton since I was 16. A buddy had an 850 Commando that blew me off the road every chance he got.

Since my Buell's been so reliable I don't think I could go to all that maintenance.

Actually, the Norton Tail looks pretty good on a Lightning too.
Especially attractive to old timers who cut their teeth on English Iron back in the day.

I think the XB needs gages like that... Frickin SWEET!

Not the chrome part... just the needles and background.

I wonder if there are any old Commandos for sale around here...

Looks pretty slick! I would love to catch a ride on one. I would be worried about repair/maintenance. I try to do most of my own work, but sometimes I can't avoid the dealer...where would you go with one of these?
