I would get rid of the two CBR's and the Bandit Nick and then buy the Norton if you have a real notion for something I don't think it ever leaves you. Or you could dismiss a few of the household servants and save their wages towards the Norton, oh hold on you don't pay the staff.

nothing to do with silver being faster but you would not think the two machines were not even the same the tank on the red one looks to be far to big! silver for me every day and twice on sunday

X2 Silver looks really classy.....and more period than the red. IMHO.

Only what i've read on t'web about engine issues , vibration , noise , general lack of development etc . I did find myself looking at this one in Peterborough which is about one of the cheapest I'd seen for sale - at a dealers too ! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Norton-Commando-961-Sport/263247069683?hash=item3d4abf81f3:g:NroAAOSwcgNZINmc

Very nice looking bike with quality brakes and suspension but 4 owners in not much over 2,000 miles might mean dissapointment has "featured" ?

Looking over that one in the showroom I couldn't see anything that would put me off should i find £10k down the back of the sofa but I wasn't committed enough to ask for a test ride .

Worth a look if you're over that way Nick .
