    First new Norton delivered

    http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/news/view.php?id=405



    It’s been over 30 years since Norton last delivered a Commando, until now!
    A great day for Norton as the first 961 SE Commando was handed over to lucky purchaser Jonathan Hewitt from Grimsby.
    Jonathan showed great excitement as he picked up the keys to his brand new Norton Commando 961SE motorcycle from Norton CEO, Stuart Garner.
    Gotta hand it to these guys, they made it happen. Looking forward to seeing one of these bikes in the states.

    I'm totally not into the whole naked bike thing. But I actually dig the SE & the Cafe Racer versions...

    Lets be sensible here. Prices from UK > US *never* translate directly. Ever.

    How many models have you seen released in europe at significantly higher prices, only to be very differently priced when released in the US?

    Hell, even look at the not-insignificant disparity between US and Canada bike prices!
