I know they are not Buells, but they are the new Norton 952 Commando. I think they are way cool. could use spoke wheels instead of mags though. Maybe a redhead instead of a blonde |

Can't get much more naked than that for a bike. I assume there's a battery in there somewhere? |

Made in the U.S. northwest somewheres, but I cant remember where. Great stuff if they can make it. Everybody cross their fingers. |

Clackamas! I visited friends up there once. Nice country but terrible economy. |

Sat on one at seca, you would not believe how light they feel flipping it back and forth between legs. And they looked great. Brian |

I hope they make it. I had a Norton when I was a kid and have always been fond of the brand name. http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/ |

They sure ain't cheap, is anything that beautiful ever cheap? The first 500 had some special deal and were selling for near 20k. The production ones are supposed to be around 14K. Cycle World or Motorcyclist had an article on them recently. And Hey ain't that a tube frame???????? |

My knees hurt just looking at those rearsets. I thought they were supposed to lower them for production. |

That is a very naked bike. I'm starting to think that most things in life are better naked. |

Just got back from the IMS in Dallas where Cycle World had this on display: It is to be given away in a raffle just like last year to benefit Pediatric Cancer research.
