Description
Norton Twins: The Postwar 500, 600, 650, 750, 850 and lightweight Twins.
by: Roy Bacon
Norton has that very British quality which we have come to love so much –Dominator, or Dommie for short; Featherbed, the motorcycle chassis which has become the standard by which all others are still judged; Roadholder forks, the first truly competent telescopics; Commando, that 'stretched' parallel twin in the lsolastic frame which fought the Japanese muftis for so long; and the adrenalin pumping Combat 'motor' producing phenomenal acceleration, without longevity. Norton flew the British flag for years ….
Here is a detailed development history of those lovely classic twins –model 7, 88, 77,99, 650, Atlas, Commando, plus the Lightweights, the Wulf, the Wankel, the Cosworth and the dressed-up AMC-Norton –there's model by model and year by year detailing, specifications, colours, prices, and competition.
