Hijack away mate.. It will be interesting to see what Norton were competing against, with their archaic old 40's derived designs. It really does beggar belief what they thought was okay to put on the market in those changing times.. A sort of latter day steam punk?
Look what Ducati had to offer in the early 70's.. MMm nom nom.! … And who could that be striding past with the shades??

Are you sure that's not just a sticker on the bike shed ?

IIRC the 750 Sport wasn't actually Desmo but it was a big step up in the right direction.

[QUOTE=utopia;568269] the bike, which stirred something very deep in my motorcycling soul at the time and which remains stirred to this day. does Taglioni bear a cheeky grin, like he just knows that he has created something truly special....? :QUOTE] You and me both Jeff.. He is trying out an early version of the Monster grin.. Quote:
