They still sound like true British bikes!

I love the sound and feel of my 2017 RE GT535, but the new 'meteor' styling doesn't do it for me. Could be any cheap Chinese bike. The RE's up until a year or 2 ago still looked like classic bikes, but with modern additions of disc brakes, fuel injection, and indicators...
As for Norton, the last incarnation were stupidly priced (though I am out of touch, I couldn't believe the price of the new triumph thruxton!), and I believe they had many serious issues. I'm sure I read an article where owners were basically told their bikes weren't safe or fit for use, and couldn't be fixed, the best they could offer was a reduced price on a new bike!
