So, what do you all think.... will it work? is there enough interest in the brand?
I hope it goes well for them, i think the retro commando is a good looking bike...

I would love to see it work.
Doesn't their new race bike have twin shocks though?

Great to see this.
I and my older brother are both waiting for that Norton twin to come out.
Here's hoping.

I have seen the NRV588 both during testing at Mallory and the prototype at the company doing the new shaped bodywork. The rotary engine in water cooled form is tiny! It looks like it will be a lightweight bike and hopefully will handle well but it seems heat is still a problem and they are having some special turbine fans in a special vent to force cooler air over the engine. I am looking forward to seeing both bikes and hope they do well.... But at the moment I cannot be sure as the bikes will not be cheap from the look of what I have seen so far.
