Garner got a lot to answer for the thieving cnut. How he's been allowed to get away with it is ridiculous

Still a few for sale at £50K a pop, dealer stock or bought for display only and being resold. They are no longer worth £50k after that list was published.

They would need all the warranty work carried out to be sold unless it’s for parts only.

It’s sad for anyone involved really

I'm amazed that Skinner was left to continue. The heads of department there knew exactly what was going on. Norton will come to nothing if they hang onto a single senior management employee of the previous owner. They need a rank and file cleaning out of those people responsible along with Garner for putting their own wallets and egos ahead of customers. If there's any justice left, Garner should be behind bars.

It's a shame because one of the few new bikes to wow me visually and aurally was the V4S racebike ridden at the IoM. It was an extraordinary experience just witnessing that bike which was stunning to look at and to listen to. I do hope that the new owners persevere and bring out a sorted V4S.

Skinner has been banned from being a director for 5 years because of the 'borrowing' of used parts from customers' bikes to complete other bikes.

How has he got off so lightly, and is he still employed by 'new' Norton?

If so, who would buy a bike from them?
