I did not think the Norton would stand much of a chance but it sure held it for a while. I would like to see that Norton go up against a Thruxton more in it's class . As Rocky would say nothing faster than a speeding Thruxton :y114:

That was cool. I had no doubt the Rocket would win; but it was an interesting comparison.

My riding buddy has an 850 Commando and it runs very, very well, but I don't think it has much chance against modern machinery. The Rocket III would eat it for lunch.
