Hi Andre, HUGE THANK YOU for all your brilliant Bike Show reviews!! The bikes you show are the ones we like as well! Have a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎉 Lots of Love ❤ Nic and Karin xxx
You’re very welcome. I did fell a bit burned out by the end of it, so am taking a bit of a break and spending Christmas in Rajasthan, not on a bike. I’ll be back in a few days and will be spending most of January catching up on the backlog of mods and filming for me 450MT, Kove 450, CRF300, CT125 and Scram411… unless I get a real job…. End of January would work perfectly for that. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the show videos. Wishing you both a fabulous Christmas and New Year!
That’s amazing!! Enjoy your trip and stay safe. Look forward to seeing more in the New Year! We will be racing around Kirkby Lonsdale near Devil’s Bridge where we live. That’s as exotic as it gets 😂❤!!
Nice part of the world. Don’t suppose you know a Bryan P who rides a GSA, and recently a CCM Spirfire Six? (I meet him at the Devils Bridge car park when riding up there!)
Was talking to a chap last week who has a Speed 6 at the bridge who lives in Lancaster, keep travelling and enjoying life as MUCH. as you can as the west is changing VERY FAST!! ❤ and who knows what games happen in 2025! 👍🏍
🤣. It’s fine in the beginning but then a lot of MOT’s. I have a printer out spreadsheet on the fridge to remind me of MOT’s, servicing and insurance. I still forget sometimes too
Me too. And and a bigger living room. It’d be annoying if I couldn’t see the telly because of it. And while it looks awesome, I reckon my sofa is more comfortable, especially for napping.
I’m afraid not. I guess they’ve been sorting out the existing ones first. Perhaps EU5+ compliance first so they can sell beyond 2024 is the first priority for this year?
Actually, I’m not sure. I had a look at the owners manual, nortonmotorcycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Norton-V4-Owners-Manual-V1062024.pdf, and it’s not mentioned there. I wonder if it’s a seat release bolt? Next time I see one I’ll ask!
Sorry but yet more promises of exotica that few can afford in these times. Yes they’re lovely, but I’d be terrified of dropping it as a scratch would probably right it off! In reality will any of these bikes be delivered?
I think since TVS took over things have stabilised. As for the scratches, I know what you mean though I’m terrified of dropping all of my bikes, ok the dual sports get dropped quite a lot, so perhaps just the undropped/unscratched ones.
Perhaps, but it’s expensive and when the likes of KTM are struggling to stay in business, it is a risk. Currently we only get Royal Enfields from India in Europe but Hero will start to export from 2025. Perhaps they will watch that and then decide.
Though I’m not sure the RE models and Norton are in the same class nor intended for the same market. RE make excellent premium motorcycles in India which are good enough for the global market, but there’s a reason that a 650 twin interceptor is less than half the price of a Commando, and 1/4 the price of a V4. Unless Nortons are going to be made in India, I can’t see it being a significant market for them.
Norton really do produce beautiful bikes, real works of automotive art.
They do, are.

Yup. 2025 will be a year of changes I’m sure.
Thanks Andre!
If i was that rich, I'd have 7 different models of bikes, 1 for every day of the week 😉
Stunning bikes though 🌟

@PeakMotorcycles very true in your circle. Not here!😉
@@stevesane800🤣 I think my entire garage cost less than one Norton V4SV, so perhaps it’s a quality/quantity thing!
If I was rich I get one of those for the living room :)
Me too. And and a bigger living room. It’d be annoying if I couldn’t see the telly because of it. And while it looks awesome, I reckon my sofa is more comfortable, especially for napping.
Any information whether Norton might launch new models. Lovely bikes from Norton though.

What's with the Shiny Cap built into the seat next to the fuel tank ? Dry sump reservoir ?

looks nice, impressive secs. Lets see if customers actually get what they ordered before the CEO bunks off with the pension fund
Yup, but I think that since TVS took over things have improved.

Like Norton Motorcycles the owner TVS Motor Company also should enter EICMA and european and united kingdom markets.
Perhaps, but it’s expensive and when the likes of KTM are struggling to stay in business, it is a risk. Currently we only get Royal Enfields from India in Europe but Hero will start to export from 2025. Perhaps they will watch that and then decide.
TVS Motorcycles and Scooters and Norton Motorcycles should compete with Eicher Motorcycles and Scooters and Royal Enfield Motorcycles.

Sorry, but the translate doesn’t work on that.

Not sure what that means but ok.
