Norton's TT BikeNORTON has revealed the bike it will race at this year's TT – a Spondon-framed special running an Aprilia RSV4 engine.

Although the British firm originally had plans to make its own MotoGP machine, complete with bespoke V4 engine and FTR chassis, and also hoped to race the same bike at the TT, the reality is somewhat less ambitious. An off-the-shelf Aprilia engine, not dissimilar to the kit used in CRT GP bikes, has been bolted to a Spondon-made chassis and will be ridden this year by Ian Mackman. READ ON

Long a fixture in the Italian motorcycle industry, legendary designer Pierre Terblanche has now signed up with Norton Motorcycles UK to design for the returning British marque. You should know Terblanche from such bikes as the Ducati Multistrada (first generation), Hypermotard, and the entire SportClassics line.

Then there is his recent design work for Moto Guzzi with Miguel Galluzzi on the V12LM, V12X and V12 Strada concepts. That V12 concept project was done while working for himself as a consultant for Piaggio Group, owner of the Mandello del Lario manufacturer.
