BEST of BRITISH: NORTON
(# 108 7) Norton is one of the most evocative names in the history of British motorcycling. In has a magical effect
on motorcyclists even now, around a quarter century after the marque's heyday. This video tells the who le Norton story.
At Britain's Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum, we examine the oldest Norton of them
all, a 1905 model with a Peugeot engine. And Sammy describes two of the rarest racers
in existence - the horizontal-eng ined model F and the revolutionary ' kneeler' streamliner.
At British National Motorcycle Museum we loo k at every significant No rton over the
past ninety years - from the 1907 winner of the n twin-cylinder class right up to the
unique rotary engined racer that won Norton's last n in 1992.
Leading 'moto rcycle journalist Alan Cathcart track tests the Formula 750 Nortons of
the 70s including the actual 1973 n winner with its unique monococque chassis.
Plus we talk to famous Norton racers - the legendary Geoff Duke and the winner of
tha t 1992 Tl, Steve Hislop, along with e nginee rs, designers and executives who played
key roles in the Norton story.
With classic rallies and races on the Isle of Man , Assen in Holland, and Daytona,
and the No rton Owners Club on a pilgrima ge to the old Norton factory in
Birming ham, this is a production that pa ys full ho mage to Norton's glorious past and
which looks with hope into the future for a name that was o nce synonymo us with
'The Best of the British' .
