From what little I have seen of the new Norton's It must be said that they are the best looking 'retro' bikes by far . the styling does look like what the old factory would be making today !
Hi, thanks for your comment, I agree, I love the styling. I have other videos on my channel that explore the new 961 Commando and Dominator in more detail.
Over-priced branded clothing for a bike company still trying to claw its way back to relevance is a big turn-off. Talking about faking it till you make it. No question the Commando is a nice looking bike and I’m rooting for them but the new management have a lot to prove starting first by building reliable bikes that perform with the likes of Triumph not trying to project brand value with over priced gym hoodies. Will pass for now.
If rumors are to be believed TVS is planning for a new range of Norton 500-650 air cooled twins which will be made in India in the TVS plant along side BMW 310 GS range, the name Norton 'Combat' has been registered ,to compete with the Royal Enfield 650s ,BSA gold star and Triumph 400 in the more affordable category.If rumors are to be believed TVS is planning for a new range of Norton 500-650 air cooled twins which will be made in India in the TVS plant along side BMW 310 GS range, the name Norton 'Combat' has been registered ,to compete with the Royal Enfield 650s ,BSA gold star and Triumph 400 in the more affordable category.
Huge investment, and nothing much has changed apart from an expensive clothing line? It's almost as if the name Norton has been cursed. I honestly thought that when TVS got hold of it that they would move and shake the hell out of it. For now very disappointing.

Special editions and clothing.....
Sounds like a rerun of 2015....
Maybe I’m wrong on the SE. Guess we will find out in 2 days.

I had also hoped for more from this recent announcement.
