Comes with a 24-month warranty, so yes the heavily revised and constantly under revision, TVS 961 SP.  Apparently, Norton are now sold out of Commandos until July/August. There's even a Scottish Norton dealer, Revolutions in Perth, ken.

Oakmere Norton, Mazda, Morgan, Caterham, Lotus etc. Worth a visit just for a coffee and a gawp. Thanks.

It's a lovely bit of design. It's a book containing the owners manual, exploded diagrams etc. and Norton's rich and colourful history in pictures and words, Mick Grant, Geoff Duke, IoM TT etc. etc. which I will fucking read cover to cover and probably masturbate over when the wife's working nights.

Did I type that out loud?

[hairnet]

LOL 

no i meant whys it look like a record sleeve??

edit - wank on the bike cos it wont go soggy

Agreed. I was friends with son of Citroen & Lotus dealers Visick Cars. Have been in a yellow one and JPS black. Doesn't look bad in white tho
