Norton to make there own V4 engine
I have been a supporter of the new Norton setup, but when a british motorbike company starts to get funding from the Goverment, the track record is not good.

Odd decision to make it a 1200. Precludes anyone from racing it and racing apparently promotes sales, so we're told.

Good luck to them, but £4m isn't going to get them very far. At least the government is putting some money in to manufacturing.
