Norton
motorcycle kit by Keiran. - "Norton 500 Manx by Italeri.
It seems to
produce a very honest representations in all their kits
I've had the pleasure
of making. Again, pre-compute owning, books strewn on the
dining table and the
only thing that didn't marry up with the box art was the
brass/bronze
coloured crankcases, which were moulded in that very colour.
Other
than a bit of spoke filling the parts needed very little
attention,this is a 1/9th
scale where the Vincent
was 1/12th."

Commando Motorcycles - The Norton Commando is arguably
Britains most well-developed twin-cylinder motorcycle. Launched
in 1967, it was an outstanding sales success, both at home
and overseas, and is still a practical means of transport
today, with expert service and spares supply available. Here
is a detailed history and owners guide to this famous machine,
including contemporary reaction to its launch, model changes,
buying tips and technical specifications.
Norton
Motorcycles - The Untouchable Norton is how racer Rem
Fowler described his machine after winning the twin-cylinder
class of the first TT in 1907. The company would use the phrase
in advertising for the next 50 years. This book charts the
history of one of the oldest marques in the world: both the
glorious racing tradition and the production machines, from
the first clip-on engines to the F1 rotary superbike. Interviews
with those closely involved (including James Norton's daughter
Grace, who kindly provided original documents and photographs
reproduced here for the first time) make this the definitive
account of a key contribution to motorcycle history.
Norton
Motorcycles -The Racing Story - 2002 is the centenary
year of one of the world's greatest motorcycle marques. The
first Norton was built in 1902 and almost immediately Nortons
were involved in competition. This book tells the story of
the bikes that gave the company such extraordinary racing
success, from pre-war achievement, through the golden years
of the Manx to the success of the rotary in more recent times.
