If I didn't already have my retro-vintage bike of choice, along with some other bikes, I'd consider the Norton very seriously. Not until after some credible reviews were posted and enough time had gone by to establish reliability and ride quality, though. But it is very, very nice looking.
I agree with a lot of the sentiment already voiced - an older crowd can and frequently does have multiple bikes and we frequently choose a look or brand with some vintage appeal because we can.
Modern engineering with the nostalgic link to the past, like classic rock without the skips on the phonograph.
I have had enough of carburetors and will never buy another bike with them. And the Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes speak for themselves.
