Built around Norton's naked motorcycle platform, the 2025 Norton V4CR utilizes a 1200 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 185 HP (135 kW) at 12,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 125 Nm (92.2 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 154.2 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (12,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the V4CR measures 204 kg (450 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.91 HP/kg (1.1 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
