NORTON SOLD 961 ENGINE RIGHTS - IS THIS REALLY TRUE?

I see this being talked about, but has there been any further confirmation that this is true?

It's a story released on 1st April (April Fools Day) and it makes no sense to me for any company to buy an engine that struggled to pass EURO 4 and it's going to be hard to pass EURO 5. Makes no commercial sense.

Surely even SG couldn't find a sucker to buy this!

I don't believe a word either, but plenty of others do

We all have to stay tuned for the final chapter of this saga.
