As there is a lot of talk around old gipper bikes, remembering that old marque Norton. Well, this new V4 looks alright:
That is very sexy indeed.
However, depending on a miracle cure for the back, the knee and the shoulder, along with a lottery win. I'd go for....

Hey! Steady! I had an old style V Max and absolutely loved it. I put R1 brakes on it so it stopped and ungraded the suspension so it handled....a bit. For all it's faults, I really enjoyed that beast

price has nought to do with my biking dreams. It DID when bike = work or commute, but now? If I had the cash it'd be 99% heart, 1% head.

Hmm not saying it is the dream bike. This is. Obvs...
You have better taste in bikes than political parties! I had to sell my "cooking" VFR750 unfortunately about 2 years ago..

There was a moment in the mid-70s in Italy when Suzuki offered a disc-brake update for one of its triples, can't remember which, maybe 500? So a lot of people with Commandos, which simply did not stop, adapted the discared four-leading shoe Suzuki brakes and front wheels to the Commandos. I did it myself and it worked beautifully. All you had to do was take off a few mm of metal on the hub and make two brackets out of aluminium sheet that bolted to the brake and to the front fork. And a twin-cable balance thingy.

R69S was more like it...
A mate of mine has 4 x BMW bikes amongst other bikes just like that in his barn they have never been ridden he told me they were made in 1946.The R71, very popular in Germany in the early 40s.... got to say it looks like that engine had a good innings.
