I'm honored to join the Norton fold and know I'll learn a lot from you guys!
On paper this bike doesn't impress. 80hp. No ABS. No slipper clutch. No traction control. No wheelie control. No adjustable maps. No Quickshifter. But having taken delivery today and been out for its first ride, it's everything I thought a proper British bike should be, except much better suspension! It makes a lovely racket; just enough vibration to remind you it's not some silly smooth inline four. There's no logic behind acquiring this bike. But I think it's gonna bring smiles to my face for many years. My first non-Italian bike. A new 2016 Norton Commando 961 SF MkII. And I think there's room in the garage for another bike. Or two!
