[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 7011, member: 2708"] If someone is successful at resurrecting the old name, it would be great to see this model reproduced in modern materials: [url]http://tinyurl.com/6xsd2z[/url] Norton never really fully capitalized on how good the 650SS was, both in racing and as a production machine. Part of the problem may have been the limiting effect of assembling the bikes in Doug Hele's race shop. I thoroughly enjoy my Vincent twins and my Norton 850 MK111Interstate, but this 650SS feels like it could run circles around any of them. Light, quick and great looking, I think it could sell.
