gearing and engaging power make this a perfect bike for the road . “ This is the ultimate British superbike that will challenge and excite riders from the moment they get on the bike to the moment they get off . It is undoubtedly a beautiful piece of art . We are incredibly proud of what we have produced given the challenges we have faced getting it to the start line . Importantly , this new Norton V4SV marks just the first step on our exciting vision for the brand .” The re-engineered V4SV is available in two colour options : Carbon and Manx Silver . The Manx Silver option is finished in gleaming silver bodywork with red and carbon pinstripes , a black front number board and red OZ Racing forged aluminium wheels . The V4SV Carbon option features exposed carbon fibre body work and carbon fibre BST wheels for reduced weight and unrivalled response . Both Norton V4SV colour options feature carbon fibre fuel tank and body work , a TIG-welded aluminium tube frame handcrafted and polished to a mirror finish , and a Union Jack on the tail of the motorcycle . Both are powered by a liquid-cooled 1200cc , 72-degree V4 engine producing 185bhp at 12,500rpm and 125Nm of torque at 9000rpm . Electronics-wise , the Norton V4SV is fitted with a full-colour 6-inch TFT display , quickshift and autoblipper system , multiple engine modes , full LED lighting , a keyless ignition system and sophisticated lean-angle sensitive traction-control .
