We’re guessing of course. One will be a smaller capacity electric bike (larger electric sports models to follow as stated), developed in various locations but produced in Honsur I think. We’ll see that first is my guess.A larger capacity water cooled twin range in various guises will be the mainstay I guess; don’t think they’ll use the Commando name again until much later. A middleweight twin range - would not be at all surprised if one variant were Atlas-esq. Can’t see another full blood sports bike with the V4 sat there - what more potential has that got (although sales have been limited)? The ‘something for everyone’ quote? Maybe a smaller capacity family - who knows.Are Norton gonna try and compete on ‘outright performance’ with the big boys? Maybe, but as they’ve said the ‘premium’ tag suggests up-specced, better componentry and a bita-bling - and play on the marque name/exclusivity. Only time will tell if that works - depends a lot on where they put that price point I’d guess. The division of output between Solihull and Honsur? My guess that will shift over time depending on the volume of sales.Yes, there’s still the nagging doubt about what will be ready to show at the NEC this year. Not long to wait though.
