1960 Manx Norton sight & sound with Steve Plater

A beautifuliy built and restored Manx Norton 500 . This bike competed in the world motorcycle championships during the 1960's and finished 5th & 4th respectively in 1961 & 1962

[@eskertoo]

That wonderful deep growl when the throttle is shut!

[@richardmichael6937]

Hailwood won the Senior TT in 1961 and averaged over 100 mph for the race - the first person to do so on a Manx Norton .

[@threepot5874]

First rider on a Norton to do it?? First to the tt at 100mph was Bob Macyntire on a Gilera.

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

What a beautiful piece of engineering. A good one would reach 140 mph.

[@asd36f]

Like the scalloped petrol tank with recesses for the riders hands and legs.

i have always thought that 1 cylinder bikes sounded bad, well, it was until i found this....

[@Mike40M]

Wonder if it is a 350 or a 500. Had some difficulty hearing the speaker. Exhaust is 350 with reverse cone. The 500 has no reverse cone and a flat on the mega preventing cracking. Not as many believe to get more lean angle.

[@mikeparkinson6859]

Can almost smell the "R"

[@rcnelson]

I can't get over how big those head and jug are. Compare them to the Yamaha SR 500 or the BSA B50.
