Actually my main gripe with Norton is not the fact they’ve pulled the plug on the SL, as I kinda expected that. My gripes are the other long list of gripes already covered on here.

The MV is a superb machine. I’m way past the age of enjoying one as a serious road bike, but on the track it was pretty fabulous.

But I’ve sold it. And the Multi Strada Pikes Peak. I think that without doubt they’re the best two bikes I’ve ever owned (will ever own). Both sold to fund the next round of Norton madness.

Seems to me that motorcycling is a disease that attacks the part of the brain responsible for logical thinking…

Dunno about leasing… more like ‘pay as you go’ would suit me better sometimes :rolleyes:

My plan doesn’t involve Donington or Birmingham Norton so not really appropriate to discuss here. I was just making the point that even with a desire to have Norton on the tank and a willingness to spend money… TVS still ain’t getting any of it. They’re switching people off now and really need to pull their bloody finger out !

Not for me.

My Multi Strada was the 1260 Pikes Peak edition. Quite a beast.

I rode it on a trip around Wales. On the way back the weather was perfect, the roads were inexplicably quiet, the ride was great. Me and a mate really got into a groove and rode quick… then quicker…then quicker… then f*cking fast.

By the time I made it home, I just thought WTF! I will banned, jailed or dead if I keep this up !

I just do not have the self discipline.

A V4 Streetfighter would be even worse!

The 1260 is an awesome motor. I have a 2021 Diavel 1260s. Crazy fast.

Ducati is doing a v4 Diavel now.
