Norton Motorcycles Reveals New V4 Cafe Racer Prototype
Norton Motorcycles has revealed a prototype of the V4CR, a naked Café Racer derivative of the V4SV superbike.
This is the first prototype to be designed, engineered and built at the recently opened global headquarters in the UK.
Sharing the same engineering DNA, 185bhp 1200cc V4 engine and engineering advancements from the V4SV, the new V4CR’s stripped-back appearance showcases the unrivalled craftsmanship and uncompromising quality behind one of the most powerful British café racers out there. Fitted with a carbon fibre fuel tank and body panels, polished billet aluminium swingarm and frame, the V4CR also features compact framework and a shorter rear frame for an aggressive and commanding stance.
The V4CR prototype is Norton’s latest project to use the marque’s refined V4 platform, revised over the last 16 months by a team of 30 engineers and subject to tens of thousands of road and track miles, as part of Norton’s unrelenting development process. The V4CR builds on those solid foundations and reintroduces fans to Norton’s iconic café racer heritage.
Note: Norton’s V4CR prototype will make its public debut on the Norton stand (Hall 3, Stand 3C10) at Motorcycle Live from 4-12th December, 2021
