£28,000 ....

Hummm.... that's a real party-pooper right there... but if I saw one, then I would have to say, it's awesome.

200hp, carbon fiber... and I guess you can ride it on the road, thanks to the "Note: RACE EXHAUST NOT FOR ROAD USE" means you'll need to find a street legal exhaust.

But that price... I guess if you were going to race it...

Still, impressive. Now that Norton's given us a £28,000 bike, can we also get a budget Norton so others can actually OWN one?

= a Coolwall Factor of 76.5%


Notes: We don't see a lot of Norton around Total Motorcycle, which is a shame, it's not because I (TMW) haven't tried. Norton's issue is that they just do not produce many models, seeing one is very rare as they are just so expensive and the dealer network is so thin. Like many here, I'm happy Norton is producing the Norton V4RR, but at £28,000, there is another bike we won't be seeing much of either. As I know Norton reads Total Motorcycle, here is my Christmas Wish this year for the TMW Norton fans; Norton, please make a more affordable entry-level bike and ship them over here.

Get excited as the next TMW Cool Wall bike for 2016 is now up for voting and discussion, have fun!
