Hislop made that the best bike in the world and now anytime you see it you get this immense feeling, just a stunning bit of kit and great to see the norton dream is still alive

[@crucial41]

I love the Tech Special series!! This channel is doing a great job!.

[@manxgrandprix2722]

Thanks so much!

So 30 years ago Hizzy was doing 120+ lap times on a bike built in a shed near Birmingham, just mind boggling if you think how technology as moved on, brakes, tyres, suspension etc, how did he do that??, pure road racing genius.

[@DaSilva995]

Bro men in sheds gave us the modern age, Fank Whittle built the first jet engine in his shed Marconi(radio) Tesla (various) all genius men in sheds

[@1950Bonanza]

John Britten, man in shed, most outrageous V-Twin; takes on and destroys the giants.

[@howardosborne8647]

Tremendous video content. I live here on the Isle of Man and remember Hizzy's 1992 senior victory like it was yesterday. One of the greatest TT race days ever and right up there with the duels in the 60s between Agostini and Hailwood. Thanks to Wiz Norton for continuing the historical link with this iconic race bike.

[@cjpritchard]

Great video! I think you did more homework than you let on! Important piece of history here. Thank you for sharing. And thanks to the WizNorton team for keeping this beautiful bike alive in the spirit of one of the TT’s greatest racers.

The rotary engine bikes have the most benefits in the bike world, the simplicity and the low weight makes it absolutely superb.

[@1950Bonanza]

They make great airplane engines as well.

[@1950Bonanza]

These guys need a go-fund-me page. Fan Sponsorship!

[@paulprescott7913]

Absolutely great vid. For me this is the best sounding bike when its screaming through the grandstand speed trap. Even better than an MV.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Truly iconic. Great to have been there in person this year.

[@gabrielepezzotta2663]

Stunning bike, stunning people in the Wiz Norton Racing!

[@wishmoor8294]

What a fantastic machine! Really nice to see these kind of background videos. Loved it!

[@cabovermike]

Ive riden a road bike one of these and as a 2 stroke man at heart it felt and rode amazing,. super smooth powerful and brillant handling ,.

[@chancev4]

great video, good insight to the small team. never get tired of listening to the rotary engines singing and have been following these bikes and Andy/Richard for years

[@markfoster2033]

Another excellent video, thanks for uploading. My favourite Isle of Man TT 'On board' video is josh Brookes on the Wiz Norton,well worth a view!

[@Grubbypaws79]

Richard Wilsons bikes = secretly powered by cans of Kibosh. Great work!

[@gabrielepezzotta2663]

Great job indeed!

[@RacingItalia46]

[@MattHale121]

Great bike and great interview 👍💪👊

[@jeffstratton8838]

awesome job riding that richard,ive gone on a few with you ,you definitely have my respect..

[@grahamsmith8122]

The plastic 'celebrations' container full of nuts and bolts shows just what real pit garage should look like. I've one the same!

[@weaselman24]

I'm a fan of the coke bottle with the top cut off approach because everything I want is at the bottom anyway

[@vrooom666]

my dream bike.

[@MadChalet]

Wow, fascinating! That's real commitment. I'm curious about the torque of the rotary motor - I'm not an engineer but it seems to be that all the power would come at high revs

[@ade-1772]

Great insight into a very famous bike cool stuff

[@onhistiger]

More videos like this please 👍🏻

[@Luke-Harno3]

Wonderful...

[@eman19487]

That was good.

[@bananabrooks3836]

So, the engine tune, its an F1 engine with an extractor exhaust and what look like BS 38mm flat slide Cv carbs?

[@sashunter4352]

Awesome

[@svpearlsailacapegeorgesail4758]

Please excuse my ignorance, Norton had a rotary engine? ( I co-owned a Norton 850 in ‘75-76

[@RikkyTang]

Your Norton would have had a conventional parallel twin 4-stroke engine. The rotaries were released relatively late in Nortons history (early-to-mid 80's)

[@howardosborne8647]

There is a book titled 'Norton Rotaries' that goes through all of the Norton history with the rotary engines. They also made a police bike with an air cooled twin rotor engine called the Norton Commander. There is loads of reading out there including the internet if you want to gain further insight.

[@stephenwilliams926]

Greta would love this bike.

[@Team-fabulous]

Rotarys rule..

[@TTH77]

Great piece apart from the unnecessary drippy back ground music. Why on earth you think bike fans want to listen to that is way off the mark. Even playing it over the sound off the bike the very thing we're all watching it for 🙄🙄

[@pclaxton78]

Spot on it's always been my moan aswell

[@stephenwilliams926]

The media people think we like it, along with people moving about in slow motion.

[@johnduddy2359]

So cool 😎
