Totally uninteresting to me. It's just an old norton with the wrong motor! Total lack of inspiration.

Correct to me they are all (f) Vincents some tese guys never take there hands of it,
It's a good job we're all different, I'm not a Norvin fan but I like that one. It reminds me of one I used to see locally before I knew anything about Vins. It was a standard bathtub Dominator with a Rap engine and I used to drool over it, not literally).

That's a wildass piece of machinery!!! Too rich for the wallet, of course, and my tastes are far more traditional but very interesting exmape…….
agreed
I built mine, because it was in bits, being named "Vinton" and, after assembly, wasn´t rideable at all. Footrests 10 inches before rear axle, brake absolutely useless, and, if you took theThat's why I built mine. But I'm sure a good rider who knows his Vin would turn around a mediocre Norvin rider. Like me!
frontwheel between your knees, you could move the handlebar ends by 1 inch fore and aft. The lower frame had been flattened by the touching chain and the cyl. heads had enlarged
inlets to 36mm dia, being fed by 28mm dia. studs. The front fork axle clamp was broken due to fierce tightening and the expert, who sold it to me, explained: " Very fast, most powerful
engine!"
Now, after 6 years, I love it, it is as comfortable, as a feather bed, and is beautiful, as ever!
I wonder, where the rider keeps his right knee. And yes, air filters are a challenge on Norvins.
At the risk of being accused of being a dog in the manger, they all look a tadge uncomfortable to me, I got rid of a stunning Ducati 750 S as I found it unridable for longer than about 20 miles, if I want to lay down I go to my bed, not my motorcycle.
Waiting for being digged out by Bonhams.
