The Nemesis has a 60°, V8, 32 valve, watercooled, 1497cc engine which gives out a brutal 235bhp and 111Nm of torque. All thispower runs through a 6 speed gearbox.

Oh you know its good!!

Mmmm, and just above the indicator switch there is the button to activate the teleport device

Sorry, slightly cynical of the Norton V8 project and of Al Melling

All the best

I wouldn't mind if it was being run by us British. But no, the yanks take the glory Sad

To be honest, I would like to see Norton making bikes again, even if it is a completely different company. I suspect a normal twin/4 in a normal chassis with normal styling and a normal engine would be slightly more successful

Hey Keith, why are you cynical about it?

Put it this way, Melling was credited with designing the V8 engine that TVR used (their first own engine). How often do you now hear his name in conjunction with TVR?

All the best
