The collapse of Norton Motorcycles - RevZilla

Dang sad on several levels...

We can only hope some one will pick up the brand and make it a legitimate contender. Remember how Indian flopped around for a long time until recently.

Besides Triumph I have always thought that Norton had the most name recognition among British motorcycles, and I always liked their bikes. I was hoping that they had enough of a foothold this time to finally be able to carve out a piece of the market.
Oh well, I have thought them dead and gone several times in the past. Hopefully they will find a way to rise again.

Triumph should buy the name! They at least have the resources and the ability to keep the price point sane!

They might, that would be cool.

I remember a member here who bought one of those new Norton's. It was over $30,000 and he was having troubles. I think he was from Australia. I had a 1965 Norton scrambler and I feel sorry for him.
Anybody remember the mate's name?

I too have a Norton project. A '71 Roadster, matching numbers. Someday I'll get to it. Someday
