Norton motorcycles

Norton has been causing riders to drool for well over a century now. Launching in 1902 and winning the inaugural Isle of Mann TT race in 1907, the Norton serves as the other half of the iconic ‘Triton‘ (a Norton featherbed frame combined with a Triumph Bonneville engine).

The company’s Dominator and Commando models, in particular, are the stuff of design and pop culture legend. The Commando even made an appearance in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. After a brief restart for the brand in the early 2000s, new ownership has reintroduced these legendary roadsters with a new line built in Leicestershire.
