Like watch companies, some of these brand are reissuing from their back catalog. Not for me, but I like the style overall. The Thurxton R would be fun to ride. I'd want to see more Nortons on the road, they have had a rocky few years and as an Italian bike owner I can say that with a straight face.
Front suspension, forks, fork tubes. Gold usually indicates they are Ohlins brand and it's usually on top spec models. I have the optional Ohlins semi-active suspension on my Tuono.
