Looks beautiful. How 'bout a ride report for some of us that have not had the pleasure of riding a Norton?
How does it compare to a CB750 in terms of power and handling?
Ok, this is compared to my stock CB750 K6, First, I haven't gone on any twisties so cant give an accurate answer on handling, but we all know Nortons are well known for great handling. The engine is still new and I haven't done the first valve adjust and head re-torque
These are around town riding info.
both are fun to ride
Norton has a bigger feel.
Sound, I prefer Norton
Norton has a lighter feel and and better weight balance.
With all the updates and new technology plus better materials Nortons have become much more dependable then they were new. Almost every part on the bike is available new.
