Truly an engineering marvel, I can see and understand the passion of owning a one of a kind. Seen on another RUclips channel as they bring them out of the museum or an owner brings one in for special days at the museum. Sadly this Norton will always be more expensive to own just because of its parts availability and only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, not for market value. What a great “ right place, right time “ story. Thank You for sharing.
Yep, I was delighted to bump into such a rare bike Max, and especially impressed by it being used regularly and for such long trips. Brought a wide grin to my face!
Only 253 ever made, which makes that bike incredibly rare. And you got through a whole video without saying Wankel... An interesting engine that didn't set the world on fire. A Mazda? An NSU? The end float is the big killer I would imagine. I'm amazed that Penny & Chris manage such huge distances with it. One hell of a mechanic. (And I bet she gets to ride pillion. Men, what are they like?)... Do I covet? No. Way too new. I'm more of a BSA Sloper kinda guy. Good find though, Mark. 👍

BSA Sloper....now you're talking Bill. I fancy a pre war bike, never owned one, definitely an itch that needs scratching!
