Norton Motorcycles

The Norton Manufacturing Company had its humble beginnings in the year 1898 by producing cycle chains. Mr. Norton produced his first motorcycle with a Belgian Cement engine. All of his motorcycles were produced with first class engineering designs and won many races. From early on Norton bikes had four speed gearboxes, saddle type petrol engines and automatic chain lubrication. The company developed a powerful engine called OHC which won the TT. In 1934, Norton introduced his oil bath primary chain case which furnished the bikes until 1970. Though Norton bikes were mainly used for racing, they are quite comfortable to ride and can be used regularly. Riding a Norton bike allows you to be in full control and you dominate the road. Don't forget about the admiring glances almost guaranteed to be thrown in your direction. Norton motorcycles are fuel efficient and inexpensive to maintain. Owning one of these vintage motorcycles will only add a feather to your cap.
