Description: Norton motorcycles have raced since the first model was produced in 1902. A Norton won its class in the inaugural Isle of Man TT in 1907 and they have been winning ever since. This book celebrates the centenary of the company by chronicling the racing history of the marque, from the earliest machines through the successes of the interwar years, the legendary Featherbed Manx that dominated racing in the 1950s, the racing Rotary in the 1990s to the enormous success of Nortons in classic racing. The whole racing history is told in fascinating detail by world renowned motorcycle historian Mick Walker.
