I have the original paperwork telling us about the launch of the Nemesis at a hotel in Central London. I thought it was stunning & although I knew it was out of my price league I would have loved to have seen it built. Just stunning but!
In someways its the same as the Gardner V4.
Again I thought it was stunning, again out of my price league. I was delighted to see 'some' people get their bike! However if it hadn't got past prototype & was given to Alan to look at how different are they? Some of the faults on the Gardner v4 were re engineered as were listed as a danger to life. Fly by wire? that might not shut off! Was it a 130 faults?
To add to the v4 post which one would you buy, Gardner or TVS v4. Gardener as a museum piece yes! to use? Definitely not. Alan would definitely have his work cut out to run a Gardner at Bonnieville.
The Nemesis did nothing to harm Nortons reputation. The reverse purchase of a 'screw company & the collapse of the company where enthusiast's had been encouraged to invest did that. The outright theft & fraud of Gardner did that (still hurts me what he did to Bob (Spondon) at the start & put me off anything to do with that company. Not knowing where the present company are going is doing that.
Bugger it I still would like any of them but could I live with the chrome finish or would I have to go black?
Nah for that much money I would have to have the bling!
