Norton V4rr
The Norton V4rr has a top speed of ~300 km/h (estimated; official figures not fully published), produces 185 hp and weighs 179 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De Norton V4RR werd in 2021 geïntroduceerd als het topmodel van Norton, waarmee het iconische Britse merk terugkeert naar hoogwaardige racemotoren na de heropleving van het bedrijf onder de nieuwe eigenaar van TVS Motor Company. Het is gebaseerd op het Norton V4CR-platform, met een racegerichte 1200 cc V4-motor die is afgeleid van het motorsportprogramma van Norton. De V4RR staat bekend als een op het circuit gerichte machine in beperkte productie, die de ambitie van Norton aangaf om op het hoogste niveau te concurreren op het hoogste niveau van superbike-prestaties en het Britse motorprestige terug te winnen.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Race-Derived Performance
The V4RR is a road-legal homologation special built directly from Norton's Superlight RS race bike, producing around 185bhp from its 1200cc V4 engine. This makes it one of the most track-focused production motorcycles available from a British manufacturer.
Strong Resale Potential
With only 50 units planned for production, the V4RR's extreme exclusivity supports strong resale value and collectibility. Limited homologation specials from revived heritage brands like Norton tend to appreciate rather than depreciate over time.
Watch Dealer Support Network
Norton's relatively recent revival under TVS ownership means the authorized dealer and service network is still maturing, so buyers should confirm local service availability before purchasing. Early ownership reports suggest build quality has improved significantly under TVS, but long-term reliability data is still limited.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A genuinely world-class exotic, but budget beyond the purchase price."
$45,000-$65,000 usedThe V4RR is genuinely special — Norton finally built something that can stand toe-to-toe with Italian exotica, and on paper the 185bhp inline-V4 is sensational. But buying one used requires serious due diligence. Early examples had teething issues with the electronics package and a few owners reported temperamental fuelling at low speeds. Check the service history obsessively — Norton's dealer network is still thin, and out-of-warranty bills are eye-watering. That said, when it's right, it's absolutely right. On the used market you're looking at bikes that have lived hard or babied in a garage. Inspect the Ohlins suspension carefully, check brake disc wear, and make sure the quickshifter operates cleanly in both directions. Bodywork panels are expensive to replace and fragile. Most importantly, verify the VIN against Norton's records — early production numbers were limited and documentation matters for resale. This isn't a commuter or occasional trackday toy. It demands commitment, budget, and mechanical sympathy. Get it right and you own something genuinely rare and extraordinary.
