Consider buying a vintage Norton motorcycle. While Norton Motorsports, Inc. is not affiliated with the older Norton motorcycles, they are reviving a name that's been around for over 100 years. This may tend to revive the older Norton motorcycle market. Try searching on online auction site such as eBay to find out what the older Norton motorcycles are selling for, then consider which kind, the new or the old, you'd rather be riding.
