Agreed but I think it's quite creditable as it's only its second showing on a brand new untried machine with their own engine and frame. Not even the Patons run their own engine. Besides it looks and sounds mint.Peter Hickman went through the Sulby speed trap at 156 mph, a very creditable top speed, but he finished 49 seconds adrift of the winner's time. Hickman is a top rider around the IOM circuit, so it's hardly likely he was directly responsible for the deficit, so where is the Norton Superlight still short on performance ?
McGuiness and Todd failed to finish, seems like Norton still have work to do.
