'Hog wrote I have always been of the opinion that the JPS style livery adds more to motorcycle aesthetics than pretty much anything else, ever. Sometimes the effect is simply gobsmacking.
It was Me. And Nah. They all got alloy wheels. Caff Racers should have wire wheels. And I bet they don't leak oil. And when has anything made in the USA been worth turning into a proper Caff racer? And don't mention that bloody thing that Hardley Dangerous sold as a "Cafe Racer" in the '70s - they was shite Dave
I don't see any mention of pricing in the website? IME these 'Merkin specials are quite pricey. Seeing how the other half live in CA, I can understand how this works. Current zoning controls in Santa Rosa, using the pretext of power/water conservation and environmental protection - new dwellings must be built on a minimum 5 acre plot. Nowt under a cool $1M then. Keeps the Wetbacks out I suppose. 'Hog
"I live outside the US can I get one shipped to me? Due to Norton's desire to offer its customers premium service and support, no bikes will be sold outside the US in 2005. Distribution outside the US will begin in 2006 in select markets at which time a service and support network can be established" + "The MSRP for the 952 Commando Signature series is $19,995. Production 952 Commandos are expected to retail for $14,995." not even too expensive, then.
Huh friends can easily get around that I missed that, actually no for a hand built special! the main concern would be value/spares/maintenance if the manufacturer goes down the pan. 'Hog
'Hog emerged from their own little world to say http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/company/faq.asp $15k - $20k Currently only available to US residents. May go on sale to other countries next year.
'Hog emerged from their own little world to say Suspension is Ohlins, brakes are Brembo. Electrics are bound to be bought in. The engine is hardly cutting edge so it should be relatively easy to fix. From the website: "Simple and direct engineering solutions are employed to create a motor that is visually and mechanically elegant; efficiently assembled in production, and easily maintained or upgraded in the owner's garage."

Oh, ffs, it's not still the same shite old engine, is it? <strikes Norton off list> -- Dave GS850 x2 XS650SE / SE 6a I demand nothing of you except that you amuse me.
The XLCR? Best looking thing that ever came out of Milwaulkee; pity it shared the same shite engine as everything else they made. -- Dave GS850 x2 XS650SE / SE 6a I demand nothing of you except that you amuse me.
