Scramblers

When Norton built its monster V4 RR carbon superbike, it developed the 1200cc engine such that it could be lopped in half to make a compact 650cc parallel twin. Now that 650 has surfaced in a pair of stylish and lightweight scramblers that look like a lot of fun.

The new big-bore British bush bashers are here, a pair of tastefully retro soft-roaders with snarling 1200cc parallel twins, high twin pipes, long-travel suspension and a surprisingly comprehensive list of high-tech luxuries.
