Scooter hire and 2 new bikes at PERRY BIKES KZN.<br />
When life gets complicated, we ride...<br />
If you’re a motorcyclist, you’ll know that there is nothing like a little<br />
throttle therapy to get you through the rough patches. Perhaps it’s<br />
because you’re an expert at avoiding potholes and slowing down over<br />
speed bumps - both literally and metaphorically. Maybe it’s because you<br />
are able to think fast in less-than-favourable situations. Or maybe it’s<br />
just because you understand that the joy of living fully is infinitely more<br />
rewarding than the risk.<br />
TVS Motor Company aim for 300 new jobs in<br />
three years with latest £100m investment in<br />
Norton<br />
TVS Motor Company has announced a £100m investment<br />
into the historic Norton Motorcycles brand.<br />
The Indian automotive giant purchased Norton in April<br />
2020 and have already invested some of this cash<br />
into a new manufacturing plant in Solihull, as well as<br />
reengineering the 961 Commando and V4 SV superbike<br />
ahead of their upcoming launches.<br />
This month Perry Bikes got two spanking-new rrivals - the Husqvarna<br />
Svartpilen 401 and the Suzuki Gixxer 150 Naked from.<br />
The Svartpilen combines power, light weight and exceptional build<br />
quality to create an unmistakably pure riding experience, and the Gixxer<br />
150 Naked offers massive bang for your buck. In addition to the many<br />
exciting newcomers, Perry Bikes are excited to announce that they are<br />

“This investment will be towards electrification, cutting<br />
edge technology, world class vehicles, manufacturing,<br />
sustainability and the future of mobility,” Joint Managing<br />
Director of TVS, Sudarshan Venu said. “The investments,<br />
spread over the next few years, will result in an exciting<br />
range of products for the global market.”<br />
Alongside jobs at Norton, Venu went on to speak about<br />
fresh opportunities across the motorcycle industry – with<br />
the new investment expected to bring a further 500 to 800<br />
indirect jobs across the supply chain.<br />
The fresh funding was announced at the same time as<br />
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s most recent visit to India,<br />
which took place on April 21-22. Exactly how much of this<br />
money has already been spent remains unavailable at this<br />
time.<br />
“Trade and investment between the UK and India is<br />
creating good jobs and sustaining livelihoods in both of<br />
our countries,” Johnson said. “I’m very pleased that TVS<br />
Motor Company has decided to join the legions of Indian<br />
companies investing in the UK, boosting our future mobility<br />
sector and driving economic growth.”<br />
Let’s hope it all works out…
