One of my all-time favorites as well. I had several friends with them in the late '70's and early '80's. Very problematic back then, but there are apparently modern fixes for all of their original shortcomings. Kind of like my '76 Sportster, they are capable of being far more reliable bikes today than they were back then, which makes them somewhat more appealing.

The new Nortons don't interest me all that much. Especially at the prices they are asking. Granted, if I had money to burn on such frivolities, it might be fun to pick one up. Except one could buy a Bonneville and the new Ducati Supersport for the cost of a new Norton...
