maaan, have no clue, but hey,84ok said:it is necessary to select one considered the best Most riders who have experienced a Norton Featherbed’s (based on the famous Manx Norton's frame) handling will use this chassis to judge all others. It was a revelation in its day, and can still put to shame many modern bikes.
first bike for me left a mark, for sure
In many ways, Norton set the standard for good handling bikes with their Featherbed frame. The Commando offered rock steady handling further proving Norton’s ability to produce bikes that showed their lineage. Many years of success at the Isle of Man TT proved invaluable for Norton, who transferred many of the lessons learned onto their street bikes.
