Model 77 1956-59, 596cc, ohv twin, 410lb, 65mpg, 95mph.

600cc engine in the model 7 swinging arm frame which produced a very interesting combination. Ehgines were quite robust as they were not highly tuned.

Dominator 99 1956-60, 596cc, ohv twin, 420lb, 55mpg, 100mph.

Stretched 88 with a little more speed and also vibration. The Wideline frame made sure that you could get the maximum use of it's performance.

Dominator 650 1960-63, 646cc, ohv twin, 420lb, 50mpg, 110mph.

Another enlargement on the 600 engine with a single carb. It lacks top end power but lots of torque lower down the range and excellent gearchange action, with the handling of the slimline featherbed frame.

Dominator 650SS 1961-69, 646cc,ohv twin, 420lb, 50mpg, 110mph.

A stretched 99 with good performance and greater vibration. Still using the slimline featherbed frame. A very nice bike but over-rated.

International Model 30 1946-58, 500cc ohc single, 360lb, 60mpg, 95mph.

Sports single with overhead cam which gave it similar performance to the 88 but required more effort to achieve it. Very good looks and a touch of class justify the incredible prices which are being asked.

Model 19 1955-57, 596cc, ohv single, 385lb, 60mpg, 70mph.

Monster 600cc single for the sidecar with little to commend it except rarity. Suffix 'S' stands for 'sprung' and suffix 'R' stands for 'rigid'.

Big 4 1947-54, 596cc, sv single, 400lb, 50mpg, 65mph.

Pre-war relic intended to pull a sidecar with loads over long distances at a slow speed. Over-priced because of the Norton name, and spares are very rare and hard to get hold of.

Atlas 750 1963-68. 745cc, ohv twin, 420lb, 50mpg, 110mph.

Stretched 650 with excessive vibration which spoilt the model. Huge amounts of torque makes for a very relaxing cruiser.

Commando Mk 1/2 1969-71, 750cc, ohv twin, 400lb, 50mpg, 120mph.

Tuned Atlas engine was fitted into a frame with Isolastic mountings. A novel idea to overcome the vibration which had been used by cars for many years.
