    I agree, the fitting of a nose fairing would be a very good idea. A bit dear, but a lovely machine.

    I know they’re different spectrum’s of the bike market but really Kaz what do you prefer riding? That beautiful Norton or the Kawasaki Z900rs you rode a couple of years ago. I love the thought of owning a 961. There’s a few things Norton need to look at improving for the money it costs. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and review.

    • @BikerKazZ
      @BikerKazZ  4 месяца назад +1

      Hey Gary, I would love to own a 961 too, there’s definitely something about this bike that appeals to me, it has an abundance of character and I prefer riding the 961 to the Z900RS. I don’t think I could go touring on the Norton though but great for ride outs 😎 keep me posted if you do get one, I’d be interested to hear what you think of the Norton too 🏍️

    Test rode one of these but went for a Speed Twin instead and I`m glad I did. Much better bike in every way, in my humble opinion.

    • @BikerKazZ
      @BikerKazZ  5 месяцев назад

      Yep, I have a ST1200 Darren and absolutely love mine but the Commando is a completely different bike, I would have the commando as well as not instead of my ST - oh and a lottery win to be able to do that 🤣

      @@BikerKazZ Yes Kaz, as a second bike for high days and holidays a Norton in the garage would be nice. I have paired my bikes down to just one now, as I could not be bothered with the hassle and stress of looking after multiple machines. Unfortunately I do not think the 961 would suit as a single option. Uncertainty over quality/spares etc and not having trust in Norton themselves. It was the thought of buying a white elephant that ultimately put me off.

      Hi Kaz,
      I'm new to the channel.
      I bought the CR version about 2 months ago.
      Not had it out much as the weather has been pants.
      Roll on summer I say.
      You think it's loud ?

    That 78-BHP pushrod engine is a bit lame paired the 5-speed gearbox, would you say?
    I wish they would reintroduce the Dominator but find someone to juice up that engine, so its not such a sheep in wolf's clothing.

    • @BikerKazZ
      @BikerKazZ  5 месяцев назад

      Yes, I kind of agree about the 78 bhp but it does actually suit the bike when you’re riding it if that makes sense! but I wouldn’t turn down more bhp if it was on offer 😜
