No,not really.There are a couple of nice ones on ebay right now and most go between $6000 and $10000.

 waytogo I saw one of the new Norton's actually in the flesh, on Sunday. I had a good look round it, and I have to say, I was very impressed. Sadly there was no sign of the owner, so I didn't hear it running. If I hadn't just bought an EVO, I would be seriously tempted!

Really?

Only if you get them from a known Norton Rebuild Shop where they take the whole engine apart and clean and rebuild every aspect (like Colorado Norton Works). You can get private rebuilds for $4k-$10k. But they're not as nice.

These look stunning in the flesh  Cool

The factory is just down the road from me and I occaisionally see these around my local area - price aside they are amazing - if I won the lottery I said I'd buy one for my Dad, but now I think I'd get one for us both  waytogo

A friend of mine has been round the factory and I keep pestering him to get me down for a visit as well - they dont do tours but we work in the careers industry (teenagers) and these gems pop up as employer visits from time to time. I doubt you are allowed to take photo's but if I'm able to I'd get some up here straight away.
