Norton Trademarks Three Names, Hinting at Future Motorcycles
Norton has registered three names: Roven, Inter and Avelon.
People are wondering whether they could become names for new motorcycles.
Norton has not said what the names mean or when any new bikes might arrive.
The company already lists four motorcycles on its UK website.
Two of them, the Manx R and Atlas, are on sale.
Norton registered six other names in 2020, but none have been used for motorcycles so far.
The company is also rumoured to be working on a more affordable single-cylinder bike platform.
For now, the new names are only trademarks, not confirmed new motorcycles.
