Norton 16H Motorcycle 1911-1954

Norton 16H

What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?

As late as 1947 the Norton 16H, although garnished with "teles", still looked much like its pre-war ancestor. The following year its old fashioned cast-iron block was exchanged for a large-finned, light-alloy casting, with new flat-base tappets and other modifications, which raised the power output to 15bhp. In 1954 the AMC takeover was established and time had run out for this old fashioned but good looking and ultra-reliable "slogger". Nevertheless, 43 years hadn't been a bad innings!

Norton 500T 1949

What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?

Norton's post-war trials motor cycle, the 500T was introduced in 1949. At first, little more than a model 18 with extra ground clearance, the 500T was soon developed into a competent trials machine aided by an all-aluminium engine, small tank and improved steering geometry. The weight was reduced to around 300lbs. During its six year production life the 500T was ridden with distinction in numerous trials, both as a sidecar move and solo.
