I'm not convinced Garner is interested in selling motorcycles or in the motorcycle industry on the whole. These new Norton bikes look and function like motorcycles, and look really good, but they are collectors' items for a few wealthy that managed to get their signatures in early enough. Pricey limited edition ornaments to put in your big-boy man-cave until they appreciate. Nothing wrong with it if that's what you want to sell but don't pretend you're interested in selling bikes.
As a business owner, I think he's more interested in making money - and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever. There have been plenty of British bike (and car) companies that have gone down the hole (including Norton) and he knows what...
Shaun, we’re in complete agreement and I’m sure as a business Norton will do great, already proven by having sold out of everything they’ve made so far. This one will do well, too, I’m certain.
