New Norton Domiracer

[srob]

Can't work out how to link to just the pictures, but this looks pretty awesome!!

A £24,000 pricetag puts it onto the wish list rather than the 'to do' list though..!

Not convinced, looks new & trying to be old. Their Commando is much nicer.

I saw it in MCN yesterday, that looks fantastic to me.

You and technology On my lunch, so:

Cheers, although in my defence I'm on lunch too and thumbsnap etc are all banned at work, and it wouldn't let me copy and paste a link in!

I think it's fabulous - an absolutely perfect blend of old and new and a great stance. It's now at the very top of my new bike list. With the SVA kit, of course

Looks an impressive piece of kit & I can imagine quite a few being sold-even at that price !!

Should sound quite hairy too.

I like it but don't love it it looks a little bit too much 'shed built'. Not sure why but I feel like I've seen similar stuff done on BikeExif many times before and IMHO better.

great stance.

For me, again, almost. I just want to tilt the seat unit forwards by about 10mm as its relationship to the tank just looks the tiniest bit 'droopy'

Saying all that, I wouldn't say no if I had the cash!

I think it looks like a modern Manx. They have a similarly agressive stance, and I like the slightly 7R seat too. Agreed it looks a like a bit of a shed special, but the original Domiracer was little more!

I genuinely think it looks absolutely perfect, which just goes to show how subjective looks are

[srob]

And as for the price, it's barely more than a good spec Fiesta!

Have to agree with this. It proportions are spot on, and if the seat unit were any higher, it would look totally wrong or contrived.

And love those zorsts!!

Completely understand about opinions on looks

But I still maintain my opinion on the seat unit. I've only seen pictures of that bike on a paddock stand, which raises the rear further. So it'll get even lower when taken off...

I'm not talking raising the seat unit, but titling it, just a little. So there's a less droopy relationship between tank and seat

Like the original



But as Srob says, they were all kind of mongrels anyway!

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion.................

it's just that you're wrong

Well I guess Noton's customer demographic are used to a little droopyness in life so it suits them

I like to think they appreciate curves....
Wrong agin? Strike 2!!

This doesn't bode well

You know Steve, you're actually alright.
But then again people say I've got no taste
