Norton V4sv
The Norton V4SV was introduced in 2022 as Norton's flagship superbike, representing the brand's ambitious revival under new Indian ownership (TVS Motor Company acquired Norton in 2020). Built around a 1200cc liquid-cooled V4 engine and developed at Norton's new Solihull facility, it marked a significant return to high-performance British motorcycling after years of the brand's troubled history. The V4SV is notable for blending premium hand-built craftsmanship with modern superbike performance, positioning Norton as a serious competitor in the exotic motorcycle segment.

What Buyers Should Know
Hand-Built British Exclusivity
Each Norton V4SV is hand-assembled at Norton's Solihull factory, with production numbers kept intentionally low. This exclusivity supports strong resale value, often holding close to its £44,000+ asking price.
Watch the Electronics
Early V4SV owners have reported teething issues with the electronics package and ECU mapping, a common challenge for low-volume manufacturers. Ensure any used example has had firmware updates applied before buying.
Race-Derived Engine Power
The 1200cc V4 engine produces 185hp and shares DNA with Norton's Isle of Man TT racing program, featuring titanium components and a dry-sump system rarely seen at this price point.
