2 of "The top three" didn't build Nortons, and Nortons output was only tiny by comparison with the big players, so its not that surprising....


You distinguish between bikes and motorcycles (wasn't bmw the only manufucturer of 'motorcycles', in the advertising at least ?) but in reality there are about as many parts in each, so the difference is merely a line drawn in the sand ?  The CB72 and 305cc CB77 were more revolutionary than the CB450, which was staid by comparison ? (not that we appreciate such things here in Britbikeland)(I had a CB450, just to explore the torsion-bar valve springs!)


These days, H*nda builds more bikes in a day than Nortons built most  years they were manufacturing...
