Norton Nemesis

[Guest]

Hey everybody,

I might have to change my name to TeamNemesis, today I put money down on a Norton Nemesis, the dealer reassured me that I will have one by Next summer, I love the Hayabusa and I will definitely keep it but if this thing comes out the way my dealer(who is also my uncle)says this V-Eight bike will be putting out 220-230HP, This 1500 is going to move at around 210 to 215MPH. This will be The fastest production bike in the world. So what's all this talk about a ZXwhatever? I just might put the Hayabusa Characters on the side to show where my loyalty is, this sucker isn't cheap and will propably run me around 35,000.00 but it will be worth it! Later,
Turtle

Holy ####,
I just opened my new issue of Cycle World and there it is, They are just reconfirming what my uncle said. I'm psyched.

In case you missed my first reply,you probably caught one of the other two...
my dumb-ass webtv could'nt load fast enough for me,so i got pissed and kept hitting... return,back,return,back,return,back
you ever do that?sorry.

How does Norton stay in business? Do they sell anything that anyone actually buys? I heard they had some 600cc race bikes. What happened to those? If they can't execute on smaller more standard bikes, what makes anybody think they can deliver an exotic bike?

Sounds like a pipe dream to me.

Please don't take offense,but save your money.I believe this kind of performance is not far away,and for a much better price.Besides,you have'nt actually mastered your 'BUSA,and are now bored with it are you?
And i don't know about you,but don't you think the V8 in the motorcycle thing is kind of pushing it?To me it seems it would be loud & abnoxious,get crappy gas mileage,and be a pain in the ass to
service,kinda like a car.

I think the "japanese companies" are more up to this game of,who can build the fastest & most RELIABLE superbikes.
And they'll probably build one thats faster than the nemesis with a little, tiny, ass-kicking 4cylinder!
And it will be much less than 40 fat ones!
Once again,just an opinion.

We must be online with a bunch of very wealthy bikers. I do alright and could probably pull off a ZX-12 and a Busa if the ZX-12 lives up to hype. My wife works too and also rides--SV650. But, $40,000 for a Nemesis. $40,000!! I live in Chicago. 7 months of the year riding--$40,000. No way. I wish i could and am damn jealous for those who can.
Article says 170 bhp at 10,000 rpm so far. expect 220-230 at 13,000 rpm.
Drysdale v-8's are for real and less money. v-8's are not over kill or a pipe dream. wait and see. Drysdales sound like formula one cars. Cool.
Well if the BUSA is removed from fastest production bike by this thing, its OK because I will probably never see it on the street.

in the roadracing world aug. edition
(page10)there is a bit on the nemesis
seems they are having touble paying their bills.
can you imagine what ins. on that thing would be?cool looking bike though

I read the article about the Norton. It was a very sexy looking bike in my opinion. But 40K... that equals pretty close to the following: Abuser with ATS Turbo, Dymag Carbon Wheels, Ohlins Super Bike Forks, Ohlins rear shock, Complete Titanium bolt kit (including axels of course), Commander II, Akrapovic Ti exhaust, EBC Pro Lite rotars (personal favorite), Tokico Race Calipers, and a few grand for some nice accessories. Just my 40K's worth ;> )

Turtle, PLEASE DON'T DO IT! They'll probably only sell a few in the states. Can you image trying to get parts ?! Can you image finding a dealer ?! Can you image the first year problems ?! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
