Welcome Norton Motorcycle on Total Motorcycle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Motorcycle has just become an offical media/press affiliate of Norton Motorcycles.

This is great new as they will be sending us Norton news and we can officially have them is our TMW Model Guides.

Stay tuned as I am awaiting press/media desktop sized photos for our 2009/10 model Guides to post them up.

Norton says they will be selling their models this year (spring 09) and will be racing as well.

Total Motorcycle is official media/press for 31 manufacturers now. Whew.

Interested? You can see all 31 here: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/media.htm#mediaoutlet

Wow what a cool bike is this gonna be another indian deal or are they gonna continue to manufacture these for awhile? sounds like they might be very limited in availability. The price must be high it loks awesome. hope they do good its nice to see the old commando lok again. PEACE

A beautiful bike for sure, but there are too many failed Norton comeback attempts for me to get excited about this one. But I will keep my fingers crossed...

+1 on a great looking bike. I don't even want to know what the asking price is.

Norton's web site says, "pricing available mid 2009." I'd hate to be introducing an expensive, niche, luxury product in THIS economy. I suspect the new Indian is hitting the same wall. Outside of the Jay Leno/Billy Joel market, I wonder how many people are dropping 35 large on a bike these days.

I wonder how many of those Egli-Vincent and Norvin reproductions Hailwood Restorations sells? IMO, people buying those would be the natural market for these new Nortons.

They did do a limited production run of these back in 2006 if memory serves. I can remember getting all over excited about them on this very board. While I may be married to Hondas I would love a Norton as a mistress...

The pricing strategy back then was roughly equivilant to a top end sportsbike.
