The past few years have been a tumultuous time for Norton Motorcycles and its fans. After TVS bought the historic British brand in 2020, though, there was room to be cautiously optimistic. By October, 2021, the revamped Norton Motorcycles was excited to pull the covers off its 2022 V4SV designs and specs. Seeing something on paper is one thing; getting seat time with it is another. Norton wasn’t at the stage where riders outside the factory could take it for a spin just yet, but that day was surely coming.
It’s now mid-June, 2022, and Norton invited the British moto press to experience the 2022 Norton V4SV up close and in person at Mallory Park. The bike is almost ready for the public, although an exact on-sale date hasn’t yet been announced. Still, we gain a greater understanding of exactly what’s going on under all that glorious and head-turning bodywork.
