NO question that it's a beautiful bike but there are glaring difficulties with it, most notable being the tiny radiator UNDER THE SEAT with only two small electric fans to make it work. Aesthetically an A++++ but I doubt it's anything workable on the road.

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.

The radiator is mounted under the seat, and apparently works well. “The cooling fans are standard … they draw a huge amount of cool air from around the engine into the front of the wedge, and of course all the hot air is blown down and away from the seat. So the seat temp is quite normal.”

Wow that is slick.


Beautiful execution but he needs to tuck a few wires away.

It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

Wow, that is absolutely stunning! Shocked waytogo

Wonder why it took "hundreds of hour(s) of fine tuning" to get it to run right? Sounded like it was a stock ecu with a PC. And a well known race shop couldn't get it sorted and gave it back in worse shape?? WTF??

Still, a really well thought out and designed cafe bike. applause bow down

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

id say it trumps every street bike ive ever seen. the manx is my absolute favorite bike aesthetically/historicallly and with the performance aspects of that build.... drool

sure there are things that I would do differently, but all minute details.  Norton NEEDS to make a production bike like this.
