The British firm Norton has revealed its latest V4 RR and the SS and has rolled out full details of its products.
The limited edition SS model is priced at 40,000 pounds and the RR model at 28,000 pounds.
The major highlight of the all-new V4 RR & SS is the all carbon fibre bodywork. In the recent weeks, the motorcycling world has witnessed a bunch of carbon fibre motorcycles being revealed, but it is the Norton V4 RR that has got a full carbon fibre fuel tank for itself.
The carbon fiber tank for the V4 RR is built by BST in South Africa. The tank is of full carbon construction and has also got reinforcement by Kevlar, mainly for the purpose of the impact resistance.
Norton V4 RR superbike powered a British made 1200cc, 72-degree, 6-speed transmission, liquid cooled V4 engine, which churns out 200bhp of power in standard road trim and can go up to another 10bhp with the race system fitted. The standard road system will have a twin under seat exhaust, and is Euro 4 compliant.
