Norton Manx Motorcycle 1946-53 (long stroke) 1953-62 (short stroke)
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
Perhaps the most familiar of all racing motor bikes on the tracks of the 1950s, the Manx Norton put up a galiant rearguard action against the advance of the continental multi-cylinders. Single-overhead-camshaft with shaft-and-bevel drive up to the cambox, the 1930’s design changed little over the years. In 1950 the new Featherbed frame was introduced on the Manx works racers. Hugely successful, it was a design that was to accommodate Norton and many other makes in the years that followed.
