NORTON V4 CR PRODUCTION VERSION RELEASED
We all saw the saucy Norton V4 Café Racer at the NEC show last year, and now the Solihull-based premium bike maker has released the final production version with full spec and details. It’s a limited edition deal, with only 200 bikes being made, and features a 185bhp version of the firm’s 1,200cc 72° V-four motor bolted into a hand-made aluminium tube frame, billet CNC-machined single-sided swingarm, and the very finest in running gear from Öhlins and Brembo. The bike comes in two versions: Carbon, with carbon-fibre bodywork and BST carbon wheels; and Platinum Manx, with silver painted bodywork (still carbon) and OZ Racing forged aluminium rims. Price is £42k.
