Memory lane for me. Used to ride bikes like that in the early 70s... Nowadays my body cannot cope with a riding position like that. It's a 1150GS these days, but hey... I still ride 😊.
Don't let anybody ty to fool you - that riding position is fairly comfortable for most people's tailbones, butt and back, but it can be very uncomfortable for your biceps, shoulders, forearms, or wrist. An hour of fighting the carburetor slide spring resistance on dual 30mm carb used to make my right arm burn. (1975 Ducati Sport) To put it mildly, nobody who ever rode it complimented the riding position.
I could never understand why a Norton engine would be dumped and replaced with a Triumph engine. Back in the day (1965) my Dominator 99 ss was easily the equal in power and speed to a Bonneville, wish it was still in the garden shed😢

The Brits create the most beautiful bikes on the planet. IMHO
Fantastic video, great to see and hear a piece of history, reminds me of my childhood and my dad's Triton, 👍🏍🇬🇧
360 degree parallel twins sound awesome.
Fantazije.Nikdy nezestárnou.Je mi 72 ale kdyš nastartuji svůj Norton je mi hned 30 .Díky za video a pozdravuji z CZ.
Wire wheels? Drum brakes? Are you kidding? I LOVE OLD SCHOOL SCOOTS!!!
Ace Cafe London is a paradise for Rockers
Gone right back to '74 when I had my first Triton.
In '74 I was riding my new Ducati 750 SS, & Saturdays were spent hunting British & Jap.
Echte Männer...echte Bikes Hammergeil
These are really bikes : only polished , lightweight metal , black frame - and let's go..💨💨💨❤
Proper bikers, nice one. R
Norton,Triumph,BSA all englisch Bikes are Bikes for real Rockers!👍
Back in the day I always used to kick start my Norton single by sitting astride the bike. It would start first kick every time!
Three very nice Tritons, what can I say? They sound great. Plus I love the 750 Morgo conversions.
Thanks for the video, 👍🇬🇧
These bikes look as beautiful as they look uncomfortable
Not uncomfortable. Your back is straight and your feet are straight down. In short you’re not sitting in your tailbone.
For you …. Uncomfortable, Just for you . For the riders 59 , « feather bed »……✌️🤣

British remains the epitome of cool.....
Had a 600 domiracer in 1976 and a pre unit triton in 1980, wish to god I'd kept them.
Du temps où l’on démarrait au kick…. Vraies motos, vrais motards ❤️……
nice bikes
Outstanding motorsickles .......but my nearly 70 year old arse is thankful my clip on's are above the top tree
Those were th days when bikes were objects of beauty unlike the modern overstyled monstrosities of today.
I started out on a 1967 T100R in in 1970. Moved up to a 1948 EL Harley, which I rode for over 40 years and now ride a 2018 Triumph Bobber.
There is no tone, like nor-ton 😎🤙
Wonderful!!…
Wonderful World
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE AN OLD MAN WITH HIS OLD MOTORCYCLE !!! AQUI NO BRASIL ELES SERIAM CHAMADOS DE GUERREIROS!
A 160kmph flyby would have been awesome.
🔥 🔥 🔥
Takes me back to Johnson’s Caff 1963! (Almost 😂)
Cheers mate
Didn't do much today...BUT I DID A TON! ton up club, international!
I never kick started a bike without straddling it first. More stability.
Yummy!
very tasty...
The reel deel😅
Featherbed frame was the best for handling.No one uses Isolastic frame to make specials out of
Super👍
When sixteen I always aspired to afford one of these, now I couldn’t ride one.🤔
Hahahaaa!
Geriatric layabouts, thankfully no longer looking for trouble.
lol, now they are exhausted after kick-starting those bikes

Are they reliable or will I need mechanical knowledge before I get one?
How much they cost in England?
1:40 It makes me shiver to see the twist grip and the engine being maltreated so insensitively.
Proper bikes,not like that bloody yellow thing!!!
Clip on's, meggas, piss pot helmet and goggles.........now you are talkin'
Q WHY SUCH A HORRIBLE SETTING ?
combination of British weather I am afraid and 1960's town planning
So..... Does anyone still hanker after an electric motorcycle 🤔🙄
