Norton ES2 MKI (1927-1947) 490cc Engine Pure Sound and Start Up on 4K quality!

[@JR-bj3uf]

When I was a kid I got my hands on a British bike magazine. It it was a detailed description of a Norton ES2 restoration. I remember it talked about brazing shut many small holes in the oil tank. From that point on I was hooked. My buddies all wanted Harley motorcycles but all I ever wanted was a Norton. (I have owned three Norton motorcycles and actually worked as a Norton mechanic at a dealership.)

[@patalo299]

Every single piece of this motorcycle is art

[@robertbixler5256]

Is for sale ?? It's a classic

[@Kieran46100]

Thank you for great Upload. I was the proud owner of an ES2 in 1964, swapped for a VW Beatle convertable after a traffic-light stop in Germany, the Guy was mad about it.

[@auknu]

Beetle convertible

[@geoffnoyes520]

What a wonderful sound from the past, lovely to know we are hearing an familiar everyday sound of years gone by. It reminds me so much of the 1951 Royal Enfield 250cc model S, l once owned and restored as a teenager. Thank you for your video!

[@sighland]

There was one riding around our neighbourhood in the 60s.. Think it was called a Clipper..

[@599Dan]

A rolling piece of art! And made in England! Awesome!

[@micchaelfearn5163]

Not just a bike, a work of art. Brilliant 😉

[@willythewave]

Beautiful bike and sound. Thanks for posting.

[@andyml1]

A beautiful bike beautifully filmed and edited...I hope you’ve fixed the fuel leak. Thanks for posting :)

[@Zahra2008.]

what ever it is i loved the very beggining of this video..the rain drops on a green land... 😍

[@hughlynas6219]

I had an Ariel 350cc ex ww2 military single cylinder bike that sounded just like that Norton - 1953 time frame - aah, what memories - I loved that bike - it took me everywhere........

[@kr1886]

What a lovely machine...if only we could have heard it running up and down the road!

[@az9336]

beautiful. It definitely would have looked ahead of time in that era.

[@mikeyerke3920]

Beautiful noises. 🏁

[@daveevans8256]

Lovely motorcycle I had a 1962 ES2 Norton black and ivory looked lovely. 👍🇬🇧

[@scottnix4991]

That's the most beautiful fire hazard I've ever seen. Thank you weird KZbin logarithm.

[@TheWolfsnack]

....which explains the rain....

[@tiberseptim1955]

I had one when I was 15 . It was a 1947 model. rode it all over the place. Never did take my test!

Built in a time when quality sold brands ! Unlike today’s throw away society, made in England stood for quality

[@danielblake688]

Ty, first bike i owned was a Norton 750. Commando. ✌😎

[@ndiduandana]

love this bike muchh...hopefully one day i have this my dream bike

[@p.t.g.7179]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@marcob4630]

This is a real machine: what a true sound!

[@jojomama4787]

Fuel leak almost made me cry but it was the sound that really did it

[@graemesydney38]

There's a drip there and we know who it is.

[@jojomama4787]

Graeme SYDNEY ...I'm sure you know all about that fuel leak!I'm now in the process of building yet another Commando,Nortons have given me plenty of satisfaction over the years,have always had good luck with them...

[@graemesydney38]

Its NOT a fuel leak - it is run off rain water.

[@jojomama4787]

Graeme SYDNEY that's great!thanks for clarifying,it was a bit concerning...

[@stancoleshill8925]

You mean that WOOOOOFF sound of it catching fire ?

[@ericgeorge5483]

That machine is a real thing of beauty.

[@marciocarvalho8975]

A piece of art. Comgratulations to the owner

[@prasonecorner]

Very beautiful bike and sound

[@jotape5681]

Wish they still make motorcycles like this

[@gings4ever]

that moment when a venerable motorcycle shows more grit than the most modern sportbikes

[@johnrandall125]

And about ten times more soul!

[@egiresia5713]

I like norton, i have norton es2 custom , god bless you

[@trevortrevortsr2]

I saw an ES2 as a kid - it's not the speed that made it special it is the relaxed manner it gets there - After many bikes, I now run an SRX600 which has a mellow engine for the same reason

[@sherrycambridge1531]

[@angargoy7181]

It is a good restoration and the bike looks very good. It was a good bike in its time.

[@rotax636nut5]

Now that's what I call a Classic British Motorcycle

[@desertblbuesman]

[@elyass.k.n5994]

Under the rain and perfect motorcycle.👍👍👍...amazing. I love this

[@FoxtrotBravo90]

Amazing bike!

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

79mm x 100mm long stroke, such an easy no pressure ride, loads of torque, just watch the world go by as you ride.

[@Land_Cruiser_40]

[@grahampalmer9337]

Certainly better than listening to the rain

[@jasonferreira5310]

Que linda moto, parabéns aos ingleses por sua idealização.Abracos Jason/Goiânia Goiás Central Brazil...

[@andrelaviolette7306]

Mine was a 1938 model. My first bike that I bought in 3 baskets for $100. in 1960. I put it together with the help of a library book called" Modern Motorcycle Mechanics". Rode it for a year and sold it at a profit enough to buy a Sunbeam S7 and on and on. I never had lights on a series of 6 British bikes until I bought a Honda 350 XL in parts.

[@tonyandrianto8540]

Fantastic🤓

[@martynjames5963]

That fuel leak + plus backfire = fire. Been there, done that. On a Norton.

[@Erik_Blomgren]

Half the comments are about the fuel tap, can't we all just appreciate this lovely old bike? In this beautiful condition, and with such a nice sound, there's a lot more to watch and hear in this video than a leaking fuel tap, I'm sure he'll fix that!

[@Coltnz1]

Erik Blomgren It's just the fact that a leak like that is such a fire risk.

[@modelleg]

The video featured the fuel leak. Like look here at my precious bodily fluids bypassing their containment!

[@hammerheadcycle3097]

That bike is so nice. Oh my god.

[@masterhouse4690]

kind regards from Germany: @ (Norton plus V2 JAP engine)

[@RodFleming-World]

About 1985 I followed an older gentleman on one of these along the back road from Dunkeld to Cupar on my Commando - and he was not hanging about, like.

[@CAKSAMS]

nice

[@beb5816]

wow. My ideal bike. Always wanted one. One cylinder is enough. Sounds good mate.

[@tryarunm]

"One cylinder is enough" for what, to save petrol? Ride a twin or triple or four, you will never even look at a single again.

[@beb5816]

Easier maintenance (keep it simple) and the sound. Have owned a single, 2 twins, 2 v twins, a triple and have ridden a four. My bikes are for use not pose or power. Whatever your bike, enjoy !

[@tryarunm]

Nice. Would you mind my asking which single you owned?

[@beb5816]

The single was a Ducati 250. Great little bike, effortless power but 3 inch tires. Back wheel locked up on braking. Hit two cars and a truck so sold it. Now have 2 V twins, a HRD and a Ducati. Have determined that 750cc is the minimum for a road bike.

[@beb5816]

G'day again. Single was a 250 Ducati approx 68 model. Great little bike with a marvelous exhaust note but lightweight with 3 inch tyres. So, brakes locked up in emergencies. Hit 2 cars and a truck so sold it ! Determined then that the minimum size bike would be at least 750 for weight and power to avoid problem drivers. Unfortunately, met a few others at high speed on my Ducati 900cc Darmah. Have rebuilt it 3 times and is now in perfect nick but unregistered. What about your bikes ? Any good stories ?

Typical buckled back wheel from the rigid frame just like my 1949 BSA had. Lovely old single sound though.

[@northerniltree]

The fuel drip is quit ingenious, really. It always ensures a fresh dose of petrol in the tank on an hourly basis. Fresh fuel is good fuel.

[@eternallearner8185]

Cant believe he had it running in his garage with that fuel leak!!!

[@palmilla]

Disculpa mi ignorancia. ¿No le ponían antes filtros de aire a la admisión? :O Suena fatal la aspiración.

[@modelleg]

Easy fix fuel leak. Muy importante.

[@onlybugwit]

When I was about 18 I bought one of these for £2 it was 1964.

[@highdownmartin]

You want to sort that fuel tap. Mega drip!!

[@beb5816]

rain !

[@graemesydney38]

There's a drip there and we know who it is.

[@craigkeller]

Back wheel needs some love.

[@johnharrison5405]

Nice bike, always wanted an ES2, but did notice the fuel tap leaking, if it has cork seals, just but them in boiling water to swell the cork, it will stop the leak
