Norton is a vintage motorcycle that is much like triumph motorcycles. actually i think the guy that started Norton was the guy that started triumph’s brother.
anyways long story short. norton used to make the fastest bikes in the 60’s and 70’s.
the Manx Norton would rape at the isle of man.thats a Manx.
i happen to have a 72 750 commando combat and a 74 850 commando (mine) which were when alot of Norton’s were sold and they are probably the most common.
anyways. norton’s name was bought and sold after they went under in the 80’s
everyone had there turn at raping nortons name… now the people that have bought the Norton name are actually doing great things and will be running in races this year.
they are really a great bike. wish more people knew about them.
opps sorry i kinda high jacked your thread… but
