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..!

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

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

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

Wonder how they'll get a number plate on there for the SVA version without it looking crap?!

Does this help with the stance arguement.......?

Hats off to you Sir, I've not wanted a new bike so much in a long while.

And the seat has a certain (AJS, not Kawasaki!) 7R line about it, I think. Albeit shortened and modernised.

Is it at Mallory this weekend?

Be good to see it in the flesh

Any chance of linking us to a video with it running ?

(just for old scrotes like me that get their only excitement from bike exhaust sounds? : )

Us younger scrotes like exhaust sounds too

[srob]

Your foot would be outboard of the exhaust enough, wouldn't it?

[srob]

Think they're only making 50? If so, they won't struggle to sell them at that price so I suspect they're happy enough

I'm trying to support them but they're not making it easy!

I subscribe to a few custom bikey type things on Facebook and stuff and I've never seen a bike that stopped me in my tracks like this one has.

I don't really care that it says Norton on the tank - although I think that finishes it off nicely - so I'm not about supporting them as such (although again, I'd like to see them do well) - I just absolutely love the way it looks, and I'm very picky about my caff racers

Just how badly do you want one, £55k desperate?!
