Title: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: Speeddog on November 18, 2010, 05:40:46 PM ... it keeps coming back. [laugh]
Norton in MotoGP: http://motomatters.com/news/2010/11/18/norton_in_talks_with_inmotec_over_motogp.html (http://motomatters.com/news/2010/11/18/norton_in_talks_with_inmotec_over_motogp.html) That would be cool, possibly save all the work done so far at Inmotec. I'm not betting on it... but it's a nice rumor. Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: OT on November 18, 2010, 06:52:11 PM Pace Bike.....
Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: Turf on November 18, 2010, 08:20:19 PM as awesome as this would be, theyve been trying to get the 588 to work for like 3 years and they're just going to bust out a gp bike?

Purportedly Norton has $, wants capability to build race engines/bikes. Purportedly Inmotec has the capability, but has no $. Sounds like a love connection to me. [popcorn] Just requires both sides to come up with the goods.... [bang] Title: Re: Just like a bad penny....

...just sayin Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: ducpainter on November 19, 2010, 04:27:17 AM their 588 stopped working because it rained ...and their GP engine will only complete a couple of laps before it grenades....just sayin Does Norton really have the kind of money it takes to 'fix' it? Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: Turf on November 19, 2010, 04:31:52 AM ...and their GP engine will only complete a couple of laps before it grenades. Does Norton really have the kind of money it takes to 'fix' it? do they even have a production bike, can you buy a 961? Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: ducpainter on November 19, 2010, 04:35:18 AM do they even have a production bike, can you buy a 961? I haven't heard of any dealers here.Maybe in England? Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: OT on November 19, 2010, 07:19:32 AM ...think it'll be air-cooled? [evil]
Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: zooom on November 19, 2010, 07:37:34 AM ...think it'll be air-cooled? [evil] with Lucas electrics package!!! Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: ducatiz on November 19, 2010, 07:40:07 AM with Lucas electrics package!!! I just hope they get a better smoke maker. The old one kept escaping. Title: Re: Just like a bad penny.... Post by: MadDuck on November 19, 2010, 08:29:51 AM ...and their GP engine will only complete a couple of laps before it grenades. This also begs the question...... how fast was it before it blew up? I mean, is there potential or not? |
