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.
Pace Bike.....
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?
IMO:
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]
sounds like another MotoCysz kind of project to me...
their 588 stopped working because it rained
...just sayin

...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?

I just hope they get a better smoke maker. The old one kept escaping.

This also begs the question...... how fast was it before it blew up? I mean, is there potential or not?
