Norton ES2 Motorcycle 1927 – 1964
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
A deluxe version of the Model 18, the ES2 was part of Norton’s post-war programme for 17 years. In 1949 the 370lb ES2 was good for around 80mph and would return around 75mpg at a steady 45mph. Years later, despite numerous changes that included substituting aluminium for cast iron as cylinder-head material and raising the compression ratio, the top speed had not improved noticeably.
