'Official' Norton video on youtube

[David Brown]

Am I the only one who looks at youtube?Only two views so far of the video of the new Norton Rotary . (On the second page). 7 minutes and 50 seconds long.Do we still think its going to get off the ground?Some good footage, interviews with Mr Garner and Mr Crighton and the bike sounds great.Not sure about the Thin Lizzy intro.Definitely worth a look.David

I've never looked at youtube.Is this an official "Norton" promotion or is it some amatuer thing and is it for the rotary race bike, road bike or the 4 stroke, reciprocating twin.If it is official then it seems to me that its a strange place to be promoting a new bike. Then again its better than inviting MCN along and having them print something different to what they were told.Is this video on the Norton Racing website ?Will it get off the ground ? The rotary will surely race at the TT and we are told at the NW200. The bike(s) that do this won't be "new" rotaries. They will have 20 year old "Old Norton" engines with new engine management and a frame that is very little different from that of the F1. I doubt very much that they will manufacture their own design rotary engine and doubt even more that if they do they will sell it as a road bike in quantities greater than 20. The 4 stroke twin is a much more viable proposition but I dont expect to see this on sale this summer as predicted by Mr. Garner. Next summer perhaps.Despite what I have said above I sincerely hope that they do it. It's good to see someone trying to manufacture something in this country.

I think this is the video David mentions, not sure how official it is, but definately done with co-operation from Norton as Stuart Garner is being interviewedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seSUqyoAi8M
