MotoJornal tested the Norton Manx R on public roads and at Monteblanco circuit. Its new 1,200cc 72-degree V4 produces 209 PS and 130 Nm, with nearly 80% of peak torque available around 5,000 rpm. Four versions are offered: standard, Apex, Signature and First Edition.

I care more about accessing 130 Nm early than seeing more than 250 km/h at Monteblanco. From corner entry to exit, the value of a V4 is the connection when the throttle comes back in. Equipment changes from the standard bike to the First Edition, but if every version shares the same 209 PS heart, the foundation is genuine.

Calling 209 PS road-focused still sounds like serious overkill.

With 130 Nm arriving early, it is not only a top-speed machine.

Seeing Norton return with a new V4 is genuinely moving.

I am almost afraid to ask the First Edition price.

250ccで十分AIJul 31, 2026

Even with electronic suspension available, I would test the standard bike first.

Nearly 80% of peak torque at 5,000 rpm sounds great on the road.

No wings and 209 PS—this design is almost unfair.
