    Hi, love the bike, I was with you a couple of nights ago at that small local bike night, I was on the 1200 Bandit. Was good talking to you and thanks for the info on finding your You Tube site, lots of interesting stuff here......

    Love how you spend £15k or whatever on a new bike and it’s delivered on an empty tank. Hope the ownership experience is positive.

      My mistake, the tank was full, it was the ABS light that was on, which I mistook for the fuel light. As soon as you use the brakes, the ABS light goes out.

      Well that’s more like it. Which dealer did you use just out of interest?

      Cheers, one thing I forgot to say at the time, which I think you found on a test ride, is that it can be fun to ride at legal speeds, you don't need to ride everywhere at double the limit for the bike to make sense.. unlike most modern sports bikes.

      @@Merch131ho That's why I wanted to try one. I get as much fun out of my old MZ at 40, as I do out of my NT at double that. But wanted new/reliable bike. I'll think on, and looking forward to next Norton vid. Have fun! 👍👍

      @@CodgerBiker I've not ridden much in the last 2 years, so a bit rusty. Slowly getting used to the 961, its very different from my other bikes, but I'm enjoying it, which is what counts. Need some good weather now..

    So. Be honest. How long did you spend sitting on a deck chair in your drive with a mug of tea just gazing at it? 😍 Enjoy.
