The first thing that strikes you about the Norton V4 superbike, called the V4SV, is the beautiful and evocative design it possesses. It is utterly brilliant to look at with its exposed hand TIG welded aluminium frame, full carbon fibre bodywork and an under-braced billet aluminium single-sided swingarm. The 15l race bike-like underseat fuel tank is fully carbon fibre in construction with Kevlar reinforcement.

 

The rest of the industry is rushing to stick aerodynamic winglets on the side of their superbikes, but the Norton V4 bucks this trend, with a clean, flowing and uncluttered look devoid of any appendages. 

 

There are two variants of the Norton V4 on offer – Manx Silver and Carbon. Visual features common to both include full carbon fibre bodywork and a Union Jack on the tail. With a 72-degree 1200cc V4 engine featuring titanium valves and churning out 187.5hp at 12,500rpm and 125Nm of torque at 9,000rpm, the Norton V4 has more than enough firepower to back up its breathtakingly good looks.
