Its seems the Norton brand has to almost start from scratch in NA. The earlier bikes got a rocky start with the flaws they arrived with and no parts available in a timely fashion. I think that spooked the consumer and the dealerships were at the receiving end of the complaints. They, after all, are the front line representatives of the brands they sell AND its not a mass produced bike. Hopefully, the new line ups and technologies will spark interest in NA again. Lets face it, there's a Harley dealer every ten miles in the US.
So even if we supplied the parts to "your dealer"...they won't work on the bike? They still need to remap mine. I rode yesterday and really loved getting off the highway idling at 2k. Tried to blip it down and it stuck on 2400. The local Kaw dealer said he'd work on my bike. He said "afterall, its just a motorcycle." Not sure of the extent of work he was referring to.
