Norton uses a modified version of the ES2 engine and simple shaft mounted in a standard gearbox shell Sturmey.

Speedway.Itu Webb front forks are not successful though. Unfortunately for Norton.

THE ROTARY ENGINE VALVE NORTON: 1960.

Joe Craig, Norton development engineer, spent two and a half years working on rotary horizontal proposed by Laurie Bond.

(The originator of Bonds three-wheeled) followed Cross valve design technology.

There are the usual problems with lubrication, sealing, and fouling the plug, and the resulting machine is less powerful than the standard version.

Cylinder valve on top of the bevel gear is driven by a vertical shaft, driven from the other vertical shaft through the second of two vertical shafts driven by bevel gears from the crankshaft.

Norton Commando was launched in 1968, carrying the air-cooled 745cc WITH 4 valve parallel twin.

WITH this machine-generated electricity can reach 58HP AT A 6800RPM.

Which make special is chasisnya, use the 'isolastic' systems using rubber (rubber mountings) FOR minimize vibration.

The system is designed by a former engineer Rolls-Royce, Dr. Stefan Bauer. 4 speed transmission, chain berpenggerak Chasisnya uses rotating steel with twin downtube.

The front suspension uses telescopic forks, while the rear brakes are still using twin shock front.

Using drum rear, this bike weight is 191 kg, the motor speed can reach 185 km / h
