#Norton #Manx #R
We’ve finally had a chance to sample the new era of Norton Motorcycles, with two days of riding on road and track with their new Manx R superbike. But does it live it up to the hype, and more importantly, how does it perform in the real world? Join MCN’s Deputy Editor, Carl Stevens to find out…

Great review from Carl, fast becoming the best in the business at bringing over how a bike makes you feel & not scared to mention any cons. With an army of you tube vlogers at the launch we will see a lot of this bike in the next few days with a lot of vlogers glossing over issues or not having the abilty to find them. MCN reviews are the only ones i pay any attention to
does any of the British people aware that Norton is owned by an Indian company called TVS? its British bike, support local.. 🤣
oh Wait, TVS acquired Norton in 2020 nd 200million dollors are invested.. by the way which country is TVS? we own them…
Love the NEW – VROD
I'd love to see a ~600cc class maybe a V2 version with this design language. I'd be all over this bike but it's just too much power for me. Call me vain but I just want a beautiful bike that's fun to ride out on the road and stare at while I drink my coffee.
Beautiful bike.
I am not sure about the engine but that bike looks super cool and clean.
Hate the new trademark
WHRERE ARE YOU TIUMPH ?
No AERO!!!! Thank the gods!
Had a test ride on Wednesday wasn’t that impressed, gears 3 and 4 was amazing, screen nice but didn't bring the bike back thinking I want more
❤
Expensive TVS
The colour schemes are so bland
Turn more heads than any other bike I saw previously model at cadwell and it got mobbed by admirers next to all the top Italian stuff nobody gave them a look it's beauty made me fall in love
No wings and spoilers 🤩
beautiful bike with a beautiful legacy. sign me up
That for me is one of the best looking bikes ever made.
Good balanced review. Looks awful – Silver Dream racer styling comment is really accurate, the styling of the Garner V4 was so much better.
It’s not a track bike. Norton say they wanted a superbike that was better to ride on the road. Whine, whine, whine…
Really picky and unnecessarily critical – sounds like u r biased towards Ducati and the other Italians..
OUTRAGEOUS pricing
$24k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such b e a utifull machine… ❤
No Neevesy – not interesting
It looks bloody awful 😂
Looks amazing
If I had more money 😫
If Norton has no interest in going racing then this bike is clearly made to be a road going machine, not a track toy – so WHY would they fit such a small 14 litre tank??? Why would they call it the "manx norton" if they also have no intention of racing it? I find that VERY strange because Norton is notorious with racing so its such a shame that we wont see this doing that.
I love the seemless/blended panels and that rear tail piece, the block colours are a nice change and keep it classy.. i like the single sided swingarm and the wheels on it too.
Quite a few reviews have noted that its quite "lardy" and doesnt like to change direction quickly, some have complained about the quick shifter being a bit hesitant too and others complain about the "semi-active" suspension not being adjustable enough.
Just got a insurance quote… £1,600
Only 1 company gave me the quote
The styling is off. It’s like an early 2000 design study go produced. It could have been so much better, different even
Would you just bring neevesy back in for superbike test pls
That seems like a suitable bike for Mr. Bond.
I love the styling, most of the modern bikes are overly styled, wings, flaps, edges and ridges everywhere and this is a breath of fresh air, one of the best I've seen in the flesh.
