The new Norton 952 Commando is, for myself, the thing that dreams are made of. From the Norton website:

This modern roadster reflects the soul of the original machine. Classic sculptural forms are combined with raw functionalism, laying beautiful shapes over a structural frame and muscular motor; resulting in a visual language that is both sensual and purposeful. With a very narrow waist and curves in just the right places, the 952 is a bike that feels as good as it looks.

This is the kind of project that makes other vintage re-workings such as the new Triumph Bonneville seem sub-par by comparison.

While I have seen one review of the new 952 (it was of a pre-production model) in my monthly dead-tree magazines, a cursory web search hasn't revealed too much more than what can be found on the Norton homepage. More updates as they become available.
