Ok, I didn't know that's what Norton are calling themselves.

Kawasaki = Norton

Aprillia = Norton

Spondon = Norton

One of these days (maybe) Norton will be Norton...

Are you still flogging that dead horse !
If Harley can buy in Porsche engines, then Nortons might consider the same business model...
Some models of Suzuki came with a Kawasaki engine (bet not many owners even knew that ?).
HUNDREDS of these new chinese makers are buying in Loncin or Zhong Shen engines.
Good business model....

BTW, Nortons bought into Spondon. Maybe even bought the lot ?
So the chassis is their own.
Good business model.....
