Member Contributer RC36Rider Posted November 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 21, 2016 Uughhh ! That chrome finish is unbearably tacky. CF looks the part, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted November 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 21, 2016 +1 Chrome does not belong on a sport bike IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, a full chrome Hardly is a bit loud for my conservative tastes but nowhere near as stomach turning as that fake plasticky horror. At least a Hardly is hewn from a solid pig iron ingot so chrome has a function as a protective finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RC36Rider Posted November 22, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 22, 2016 Pity because the bike itself is nice. Lose the chrome bits (all of them), paint the thing some sort of smoked silver or light anthracite (possibly with a satin matte clearcoat), keep the red wheels and you'd have a mean looking machine. OK. A bit of a Ducati Senna rip-off but mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted November 23, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 23, 2016 I saw both of these bikes at the NEC Bike Show in Birmingham on Monday. They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The chrome does look wrong in the photo but curiously looked good in the flesh, but that CF one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hainzy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Have to admit the Carbon Norton was far better at the NEC, the Chrome version just looked really tacky (UK read Chavy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhenley17 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm assuming it's supposed to be a throwback to the old polished tanks? Kind of acceptable in that sense. Maybe it's just knowing how bad-ass it is, but I still want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The Norton swingarm starts as a 70kg billet that is CNC'd down to the final 3.5kg product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
