    Glad to see him say they had to go racing, as that's the way to success. Back in the 60's, when Honda came along, they asked Norton why they didn't race and they said because we can't afford to. When they asked Honda why they raced, the said, because we can't afford not to. All the best Norton.

    I absolutely admire self made business men. They're often down to earth because they didn't have anything handed to them.

      Why wouldn't you hope for Michael Dunlop? After all....his father Robert ran the revamped Nortons in the 80s. Not to mention. Michaels arguably the best Isle of Man racer there is in the modern day.

    is it really Norton
    not been produced since the 70s,more like a new company using the Norton name.
    just bought the name , Norton died with the onslaught of Japanese bikes .
    so is it really the Norton heritage today or just a p.r. ploy .
