Hey folks, Jamie here from Moto Central, and boy, do I have some two-wheelin' excitement to share with you! Norton Motorcycles is throwing a massive birthday bash, and you're all invited to join in on the celebration of 125 years of roaring engines and iconic British rides.
Picture this: 125 special edition bikes, each one a nod to Norton's glorious history of motorcycling triumphs. These babies are decked out in some seriously cool liveries inspired by the golden days of two-wheeled glory.
Now, hold onto your helmets because these limited editions are not just a sight to behold—they're hitting the road too! You can catch the first glimpse of these bad boys at the Motorcycle Live show in Birmingham's NEC from November 18th to 26th. That's right, folks, it's a real treat for your eyes and a chance to soak in the legacy of Norton.
What's in the lineup, you ask? Well, six limited editions, my friends. And they're not just any editions—they draw inspiration from the classics like the 1902 Norton Energette, the 1937-1962 Norton Manx, the 1972 Norton Formula 750 Works Racer, and the late 80s to early 90s Norton NRS588 rotary racer. It's like a journey through the best of Norton's motorcycling history.
You can spot these beauties in Hall 3A, Stand 3E10 at the Motorcycle Live show. We're talking about Commando 961 LE roadsters, V4SV superbikes, and V4CR naked bikes—all dressed up in tribute liveries that pay homage to Norton's legendary models.
Fancy a ride on the Energette special? It's got a vibrant yellow paint job, a brown leather seat, and polished Öhlins suspension. And oh, did I mention the commemorative 125-year anniversary crest? It's like wearing a badge of honor on two wheels.
For the classic souls out there, the Manx edition rocks a sleek mix of color-correct silver and black components. It's the kind of sophistication that turns heads without even trying.
And the NRS588 rotary tribute designs? Trust me, you won't miss these babies with their standout striping against black bodywork. It's a tribute to the late 80s and early 90s, and it's like riding through a time machine.
Now, let's talk price because we know you're itching to get your hands on these limited editions. The V4CR '588' and the V4SV '588' are priced at £49,999 and £51,999, respectively. Head over to nortonmotorcycles.com for all the juicy details.
So, gear up, my fellow riders, because Norton is turning 125, and they're doing it in style. Get ready to rev those engines and join the celebration of a century and a quarter of pure motorcycling magic! Ride on! ????️✨
