I hope so Albs as I fell in love at the NEC Motorbike show in 1989 when the Norton F1 was on show. Trevor Nation was kicking arses with it... Think it was £17,000 then... :o

Have a look at their site Albs :y

My boss has a Norton F1 in his collection, I don't think it's done 2k miles.

I think it's currently tucked away in a corner of one of the warehouses at work.  He's got about 20 odd all told. Not sure what they all are though.
Having said that, I'm not sure he knows exactly what he's got any more  ::)
