Can’t deny the passion, quite a few of the facts are incorrect, more homework needed, enjoyable little video, but the bike in parking bay doesn’t half stand very upright, that’s why I shortened my side stand.Nice Review. Kenny Dreer's design endures.
I find it a little sad no mention of the 'American' with a passion for the marque is the reason for it's existence.
It is a beautiful M/C.
So true..... but the bike in parking bay doesn’t half stand very upright, that’s why I shortened my side stand.
that’s the strange curvature of the Earth around those parts……At Donington, they'd all lean at different angles anyhow.

Agreed about him, for certain - the 961 a lifestyle product though? I think some might view it as a little more than a bike to be used to meet your girlfriend for coffee, whilst pondering the beauty of your environment!Watched him for a while and he's more of a "lifestyle vlogger" which TBH, suits Norton
100% - that's why I think it's a good fit for the brand. I doubt Norton want to be entirely attached to grumpy old white men with oily handsAgreed about him, for certain - the 961 a lifestyle product though?

Yep, on reflection I have to admit you are spot on. This push for premium is pretty well represented by our rather posh hero Freddie. And yes, he’s as far removed from the average Norton rider as you could possibly get! Only time will tell whether Norton is heading in the right direction - let’s hope so.100% - that's why I think it's a good fit for the brand.

Not that that's a bad thing, right, just not a growth market.... I doubt Norton want to be entirely attached to grumpy old white men with oily hands
Just an observation on my partNot quite, recently at the Stafford show there were quite a few young lads in the their 20's who owned Norton Commando's, it's these that Solihull should be catering for plus the premium end older owners with money in their pockets. If they have the backing of TVS then I'm sure it makes sense to cover all ends of the market. Like it or not there is a fare bit of brand loyalty in motorcycles.
