Diogenes, You have obviously have not ridden a special? there is nothing wrong with the Norvin when set up right, ok its not state of the art or have the handling of a Egli but what you need to do is adapt your riding style to suit, i can assure you it will put a smile on your face every time you go out on it! I have ridden many bikes in my life time its a Norvin or a Vincent i would chose to go out on over any other bike, i cant get enough of them even on the way home i go the long way round! i certainly would not do that on a modern bike.
You need to look up the Corish Norvin from Australia, it won many races right up to 2007.
