Classic Norton International Motorcycles 1931–1939 (Model 30) 1955 (Model 40)


The overhead cam single-cylinder International Nortons were rarely referred to by their catalogue titles of 40 (350) and 30 (500). When the motorbike entered the post-war arena it was little different from the 1939 model. What differences there were concerned the front fork, tank, mudguards and gearbox end cover. Other than switching to light-alloy for the cylinder and head there were no changes and head there were no changes to the long-stroke motors. These retained shaft-and-bevel drive for the single ohc, exposed hairpin valve-springs and a modest compression ratio. Featherbed frames from 1953.
