I can totally agree with that... but things with Norton seem to be MUCH better now....and i'm sure no one will have to wait THAT long now...All i can say is if you really want to own a new Norton, hang on in there because it WILL be worth it !

I waited 2yrs and 10 months for my bike and like EVERYONE else that waited, THANK GOD I DID ! please take my advice-be patient,keep phoning them, and wait for your bike ! It WILL be worth it !

WELL....Last thursday afternoon, i received my bike ! Exactly to the spec i wanted and it looks stunning. I am a happy man.:whoo:Thanks to Norton, and in particular thanks to Andy Jeans.

just gonna bring my saga up to date- 'briefly',- deposit paid dec09, balance paid aug10, countless promised but failed delivery dates, BUT TODAY, Norton rang me to say my bike starts its build tomorrow !! and 'hopefully' we are gonna meet the deadline,around the beginning of september (that IS 2012...) Please, please let it happen....please please Norton.......

very happy for you Bev888 :whoo:I rang Norton today and was told you had taken delivery of your bike,so you letting us all know means the salesman was tellin the truth.... He was also ADAMANT that my bike will be delivered by the end of August... I hope he was still tellin the truth........

Hello everyone, First post here, but been observing a LONG time.... Ordered a cafe racer dec 09 !! for delivery may 2010.......SO..... 2yrs and 8 months later, after i think now, 13 !! PROMISED delivery dates and enough (laughable) excuses to write a book....this is the latest chapter..- From feb 2012 i was told i was 'no.2' on the list,and delivery was imminent. the only trouble was they wer'nt makin any bikes...Anyway, a month ago me n my mate (who ordered his cafe racer april 2010) paid a visit to Norton. There were 4 or 5 built bikes ready to go out and 4 in various stages of build on the benches. I enquired that 'i thought i was no.2 on the list?' to which 'it depends which list, as there are 3 !!' was the reply. Ha Ha....I was shown on the computor screen that i was actually no.14..... In the following 2 weeks i went from no.14 to no.22 to no.28.......... SO told Norton i had finally had enough......(my mate wasnt even on a list, after being told he was no.9 all year....) My mate has been in touch with Beswicks and they issued Norton with a first letter....(I at this point had only 'warned,' Norton of my intent to do so, via e-mail to them) Anyway, BOTH of us have received calls off Norton to say our bikes are now in the process of being built...and have received e-mails to say we'll have our bikes by sept 1st....OR FULL REFUND....... Beswicks say this is just a delaying tactic but Nortons sales are saying its really gonna happen this time.....SO the solicitors are on HOLD for the time being....... BIKE....? I'll believe it when i see it......If i ever do , of course.....I really hope so...
