Hi Dave,

When the first Hinckleys came out, Bloor's designers were accused of copying Kawasakis; don't think it's done Hinckley any harm?

When you hire a bunch of experienced engine designers and say, "I want an inline water-cooled triple and four (or a V4) that'll work out of the box", the designers are going to design what they know. If a V4 that looks like an Aprilia finally starts Norton on a similar path to Hinckley, so?

Regards,
