Back in October, 2021, the revived Norton Motorcycles showed off its first new creations: the V4SV Manx and Carbon editions. Claims that the company’s first 1200cc V4 produces 185 horsepower and 125 newton-meters (or a hair over 92 pound-feet) of torque sounded promising. It certainly didn’t hurt that the V4SV is awfully easy on the eyes, either.
What would Norton’s next move be, though? The U.K.’s largest annual motorcycle show, Motorcycle Live, is back. In fact, it hit the NEC Birmingham from December 4 through 12. Also, you’d be completely correct if you were anticipating a strong Norton presence at Motorcycle Live.
The firm officially announced that it is bringing its prototype V4CR to show off, although we’d guess the V4SV might be on display as well. Additionally, Norton says that the V4CR is the first prototype to completely crafted—from the design all the way through the build process—at the new Norton headquarters in Solihull.
