Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin-cylinder engine. By the later 1950s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the classic Featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder forks.

The Norton Dominator on offer has resided with the current owner for the last 22 years. In his ownership it has been rebuilt to a good standard with some slight changes from a standard machine. We have been informed that the machine performs well and is now a little too quick for him to ride. It comes complete with a V5C and some old MOT certificates. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.

1954 Triton

Reg No: 574 BMG Frame No: J122 56420

One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. The ‘Cafe Racer’ style is still popular today with most modern-day manufacturers including one in their range. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not as reliable so an obvious answer was to replace them with the stronger and more readily available Triumph twin, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade specials.

We have been informed this Triton was created many years ago, was rebuilt just a few years ago and has not been used much since completion. The current owner, now in his 80s, has decided to let it go due to his age. Last run at the end of last year, light recommissioning will be required to place it back on the road. It is offered with a continuation RF60.
