According to Norton Motorcycles
The new re-engineered V4SV is the most luxurious British superbike ever created. The only British built and designed superbike in production. The speed, the handling, the feeling… Nothing comes close to it. The Isle of Man TT is where the V4SV was imagined, the road is where it was born.
Today, that feeling is replicated with the V4SV. Every sense is heightened for one of the purest riding experiences out there. It’s a buzz that others will never quite understand. From the moment the engine starts, freedom is released. When the helmet is on, everything else just disappears.
As one of the most successful manufacturers at the TT, our relationship with the formidable road race is legendary. From Joey’s, Ballacrain and Laurel Bank, Norton’s fearless riders have conquered it all – their names etched into motorsport history. Imagery is featuring the V4SV with a non-homologated track exhaust. Final specification may vary.
From a distance, it’s a breathtaking feat of engineering. But it’s on closer inspection that the true story behind the V4SV unfolds. Each component has been elegantly crafted to offer more than just functionality. There’s an attention to detail that takes riders further, adrenaline-fueled at every horizon.
