It's EICMA 2026, everybody, and Norton Motorcycles is here to help you get to your next destination in style. See, in countries outside the US where people love motorcycles, a 450cc machine hits a certain kind of sweet spot. Tiered licensing schemes make great use of 450s, both as learning tools and as potentially aspirational motorbikes after you've outgrown your 110 or your 125.
And, to be honest, while I know it may not be the most popular opinion, I think it's bikes around this displacement and power that make really excellent city bikes, just in general; regardless of what your motorcycle license says you can ride. After spending years of my life commuting (please don't ask me to do the math to calculate all the hours I've spent in traffic), I can say with some certainty that I wouldn't enjoy having something super high-strung and powerful for this kind of riding.
