Barring the optional bits, there is just so much on offer on the Norton V4 RR. All this makes other bikes seem overpriced and devoid of any features. Yes, litrebikes have come a long way. Also, the V4 RR is not produced in big numbers. However, this is what makes the V4 RR such a nice, exotic piece of machinery. Name any bike maker that has carbon fibre body panels, for instance, and costs this much. That’s what the Norton V4 RR is, in a nutshell. Welcome back to the world of living, Norton.
