FIRST LOOK
THE NORTON NEMESIS - POSSIBLY THE WORLDS FASTEST
PRODUCTION MOTORCYCLENemesis
(Ne-me-sis'): A 1500cc V-8, 235 horsepower masterpiece that will exceed the 200 MPH
barier. It's should be the fastest, production motorcycle available to
humankind.
The Nemesis will be Nortons, and indeed the
worlds fastest, most powerful motorcycle. Driven by its own 1500 cc fuel injected V-8 engine producing 235 bhp, the
Nemesis is expected to reach top speeds in excess of 200 mph. With only a few exceptions,
all Nemesis parts have been specially designed and manufactured for this one model,
resulting in the highest specification standards of any production motorcycle made today.
Norton has its eye on the future of the Nemesis as well as the present. In coming years
the Nemesis will be available with push button shifting, a rear view video monitor to
replace side mirrors and a unique active suspension system linking the engine computer and
suspension so that the engine and chassis work as one to maximize power during
acceleration and control in high speed cornering.
