... it keeps coming back.  laughingdp

Norton in MotoGP:
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.

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 head

...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 haven't heard of any dealers here.

Maybe in England?

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?

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
