In October the news already appeared that the businessman Stuart garner he had bought the rights to the Norton brand and was setting up a new factory and offices in the Donington area. It is currently rumored that They are working on a street bike that will bear the name of Commando, and that it is possible that it will see the light in 2009. But the bomb news related to the brand is that for 2009 they intend to compete again in the Isle of Man TT with a version of the Norton f1 with a rotary engine that will be will call NRV588.

Steve Hislop won the TT in 1992 with a Norton rotary engine, and since then the British brand has not participated in the race again. Now Michael Dunlop, the twenty-year-old son of Robert Dunlop, is the rider chosen to ride this bike and green the laurels achieved with the Norton JPS.

I would like them to achieve the successes that Triumph has had in their rebirth, more than anything to have another British bike on the market to remember the old fights between Bonnies and Commandos on the roads of Thruxton in England. Does anyone give more?
