Norton V4SV 2022
La Norton V4SV está disponible en dos acabados: Manx (llantas de aluminio OZ rojas, carenado en color plateado con detalles en negro y rojo y la bandera Union Jack a todo color en el colín) y en Carbon (llantas BST de fibra de carbono, todo el carenado en fibra desnuda, bandera monocromática y detalles en grises y negro).
Estamos ante una superdeportiva un tanto particular, que no parece que vaya a amenazar a las superbikes del resto de marcas, pero sí que se trata de una moto muy exclusiva, con un precio que parte de los 50.000 euros. Más allá de las ventas que pueda alcanzar, supone un hito en la historia de la marca, ya que es la primera Norton que sale de fábrica en la era TVS, prometiendo así más proyectos para el futuro, no sólo con nuevos modelos (la naked derivada V4CR o una nueva Commando) sino con el anunciado futuro eléctrico de Norton.

Norton Motorcycles launches the most powerful British café racer the V4CR
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norton Motorcycles has today launched its first naked sport motorcycle and the most powerful British café racer: the Norton V4CR. The rebellious younger sibling of the V4SV, the V4CR delivers artistic modern design coupled with a riding experience befitting its 185 brake horsepower. Priced at £41,999 and with just 200 set to be made, the naked superbike café racer is the first brand-new motorcycle produced by TVS-owned Norton, following on from the re-engineered V4SV and new-generation Norton Commando 961 launched last year. Meticulously hand built at the company’s Solihull headquarters, the new bike inherits all the hallmarks of Norton’s DNA with beauty in its flowing lines, the distinctive forward angle of the engine and the signature hourglass silhouette.
Tumblr media
The stripped-back carbon-fibre fairing reveals the scrupulous attention to detail in the handmade aluminium frame, titanium exhaust system and precision welding. Exposed air intakes at the front, combined with the short body and compact tail unit, gives the V4CR its unique aggressive stance. By taking the exquisite engineering of the V4SV, the V4CR offers the same surefooted handling and pinpoint power delivery, only without the barrier between the rider and the ride. It is an experience without the filter, marrying design and beauty with the intoxicating thrill of the wind in your face and a road yet to be discovered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0KNskxzlNQ Norton’s first naked sport: About V4CR* Available in two colour schemes, Carbon or Manx Platinum, the superbike café racer features an under-seat carbon fibre 15-litre fuel tank, with Kevlar reinforcement, and carbon-fibre body panels. It is also the second motorcycle to be powered by Norton’s own liquid-cooled 1200cc, 72-degree V4 engine, which has been optimised to produce 185bhp at 12,000rpm and 125Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. The combination of a handmade exhaust system and sound of the V4 engine ensures that UK roads reverberate with the iconic snarling of a Norton engine once more.
Tumblr media
A quick shifter and auto blipper system, adjustable Öhlins front and rear suspension, Brembo brakes, solid aerospace grade aluminium billet-machine yokes, a sophisticated lean-angle sensitive traction-control and three engine modes (wet, road and sport) are all featured on this British-made motorcycle. As standard, the Norton V4CR has a traditional single round headlamp fitted with a modern LED unit, keyless ignition and a full-colour six-inch TFT display. When it comes to the finishes, the Manx Platinum option presents platinum-coloured bodywork complemented by carbon panels, a striking orange seat and forged aluminium OZ racing wheels. The second option, the V4CR Carbon, features exposed carbon fibre bodywork, with a black seat and carbon fibre BST wheels.
Tumblr media
Dr. Robert Hentschel, CEO of Norton Motorcycles, said: “The Norton V4CR is a raw expression of impeccable design and intoxicating performance. We’ve taken the engineering of the V4SV and stripped back the outer shell to ensure the rider gets a truly uninhibited motorcycling experience. “The V4CR is the first completely new model we’ve built. Our engineering and design teams have been meticulous in their approach, from initial sketches to concept production, through to the final finishing touches. The bike is the culmination of all our learnings and investment over the last three years and we’re delighted that we can now share this taste of Norton’s future.” Register interest in the bike at Norton V4 Cafe Racer (V4CR) | Norton Motorcycles

The Norton Commando 750 S – A British Superbike Icon
The Norton Commando 750 S was the scrambler version of the Commando series, a model range from Norton that would prove to be one of their best sellers even as the onslaught of motorcycles from Japan began to overwhelm the European motorcycle industry.
The Norton Commando
Norton was already in financial trouble when the project to develop the Commando began and as such they didn’t have the option of developing an all-new engine. Instead they took their trusty parallel twin that had been in production in some form or another since 1949 and added some upgrades before tilting it forward slightly and changing the timing side cover to keep the Norton logo straight.
The new Commando model would need to replace both the Norton Atlas and the Norton Ranger, although both these motorcycles were typically much loved by their owners they did have some drawbacks – the biggest of which was vibration. The 750cc (actually 745cc) parallel twin used in both the Atlas and Ranger (and the P11/P11A) was fitted with a 360º crank meaning both pistons rise and fall together, at higher rpms this causes signifiant vibration that would be sent through the engine mounts and frame into the rider.
Norton engineers knew this was one of their biggest challenges so a team led by Dr Stefan Bauer (formerly of Rolls-Royce) developed an all-new frame with a rubber engine mounting arrangement called the “Isolastic” system. This new frame proved to be a winner and offered excellent handling when paired with Norton’s Roadholder forks and adjustable rear shock absorbers.
Despite the fact it was using an already “old” pushrod, pre-unit engine the Norton Commando proved to be a sales success for the British motorcycle marque. The performance, handling, and good looks of the model won it fans around the world and it remains the only motorcycle in history to win the Motor Cycle News “Machine of the Year” award five years in a row from 1968 to 1972.
The Norton Commando S
The Norton Commando S features high scrambler-style exhaust pipes, it was developed to appeal to the American market as a street scrambler of sorts. Norton hoped to tap into the wild popular world of desert racing that they’d previously targeted with the Norton P11, P11A, and Ranger.
Of course by the time the Commando S had appeared the two-strokes of companies like Husqvarna had already taken over the off-road racing world so the Commando S was never going to be a serious competitor. Most owners used it on the road and it won countless fans for its sleek good looks, ample chrome work and high pipes.
Today the surviving examples of the Norton Commando S are highly sought after, they’re widely considered to be either the most handsome or one of the most handsome Commando variants, and the sound from those scrambler pipes is unbeatable. Although the term “superbike” was coined to describe the Honda CB750 it was applied to many other high performance motorcycles of the era, and the Commando was one of the CB750’s key competitors.
The 1971 Norton Commando S you see here was built in late 1970 and titled as a 1971, it was freshened up in 2014 and taken for a short run. If you’d like to read more about it or register to bid you can click here to visit the listing on Mecum.

The space brings Norton’s range of premium motorcycles to the capital and houses the brand’s new lifestyle apparel line, created in collaboration with Savile Row designer Nick Tentis.

Christian Gladwell, Chief Commercial Officer at Norton Motorcycles, said: “Seeing the Norton brand move from within the four walls of Norton HQ and out into the marketplace is positive on a number of levels.  “Dealer partner enquiries signified the level of demand for our motorcycles, and I’m immensely proud of the work the commercial team has done to meet that demand with what is a growing dealer network. More dealers mean more riders enjoying the results of the hard work and dedication that the entire team at Norton has contributed towards. “Opening the London Atelier is also a big milestone for the brand. For Norton to have created the first of its own spaces from scratch shows our commitment to the growth of this historic marque, at the same time as setting a new standard for motorcycle retail.”

Nick Tentis, the Savile Row fashion designer behind the creation of the Norton Atelier, said: “For the first Atelier, I wanted to create a space that reflected the history and values of the Norton brand while also creating the perfect environment to display the new clothing collection. Outfitting the space with a tailored mix of both bespoke and vintage furniture perfectly encapsulates Norton’s past, present and future.” Gareth Charlton, Global Brand Director of Bike Shed Moto Co. said: “I am delighted to welcome Norton Motorcycles into our shop space at 386 Old Street. With their glorious history and dynamic vision for the future I cannot think of a better neighbour for Bike Shed Shoreditch.
