A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Get Closer to Norton | VIP First Look at South Downs Motorcycles.

It was a fantastic evening filled with all things Norton, giving our guests the opportunity to get up close with the Norton Manx R and Norton Atlas ahead of this weekend’s Norton Roadshow.

We had a brilliant line-up on display outside the SDM showroom, alongside a fleet of the new Norton Atlas and Manx R, ready to hit the road over the weekend.

With great company, delicious canapés and plenty of Norton conversation, it was a fantastic evening bringing together our community of customers, enthusiasts and fellow riders.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did!

Take a look at some highlights from the evening, and watch the full recap video here!
