Nice looking bike. However does nobody on here get out? The nice red flat tracker was built, I believe for Norton and was exhibited on their stand at the NEC motorcycle show in 2015.

This is nothing new. It's based on the Ron Wood Nortons in the 1970s. Here's a pic of one from the centre spread of the April 1977 edition of Bike magazine - which incidentally also included an article on the Norton 76, that Bike tagged as "Exclusive - we ride the bike that could save Norton." If only...

I remember the issue and all the newsagents sold out and although I had Bike magazines going back to my School days, from that month on I had copies reserved and delivered and I never did get my hands on the April issue with the Ron Wood Norton's in it!
