What's happening at Norton? Sale to TVS, massive investment, new bikes...

Good on yer FE - bit of a shock though; you were firmly in the ‘no camp’! Serious concerns that the primary was still too noisy for your liking - fare enough.

A great deal’s a great deal though!

I was a firm no. But the bastards done me by offering a deal on the LE range!

I’ve searched as many videos as I can and the conclusion seems to be that the primaries aren’t as loud as my old one. If it is, I’ll be well pissed!

I couldn’t decide between a Manx and a Transatlantic, a Manx wudda been nice to park next to my Manx ! But there were no Manxes in SP spec (ie with handle bars) so I went for the last Transatlantic SP in the country.

Nice looker:

Agreed - sweet lookin’ machine! Prefer it to the Manx - that whole disjointed tank thing. Although you prefer the black forks, I think the Goldie’s look right on that bike. I’d be all over one of these if in the UK!

Careful it doesn’t fall into the ‘keeper’ bracket though - who knows what any of will be doing in 2 years+ time!

Good buy - congrats!
