So now they can stop the flow of Karel Abraham-esque entries, and get real competition on the grid...

It would be great to see Norton in MotoGP but lets face it we'll see more of the pit crew or the riders partner or the lone rangers leading the race then we would of the Norton, and continue to be as bored as ever.

Outstanding..

They ought to just sell a package where they record the exciting midpack battles when Jorge runs away. Call it Moto1.5. I'd pay to watch those battles for the entire race rather than just the leader crossing the line.

Will the 2012 MGP rules allow Norton to use their 588cc Rotary Wan kel engine? If so Norton could have a big leap on some others in already having a GP spec NRV588 up and running.

Nobody who has ever heard one of these engines at speed can ever forget the noise

Doesn't sound like the latest iteration of the Norton brand has anything down on paper yet so I'll check back later thanks.

Wolfy35, strange, your engine name gets censored and yet Hillbilly is allowed to post his rubbish

Wolfy35, Anders Anderson rode it at Brands Hatch, the sound of that bike echoing off the stands was better than the 397cc Honda 6. But only just.

Thats because I swear with passion Nobs...Could be good to see Norton back, they should be encouraging as many manufacturers as possible.

Swearing does not show passion, simply a lack of comprehension.
