Hello, I'm Ryan from Fortnine in Spanish and in this video we analyze one of the great myths of the motorcycle industry: the history of Norton Motorcycles! 🚨💥 Today we are going to discover how one of the most legendary brands suffered 10 bankruptcies, all through the Commando model. If you are a fan of motorcycles and epic stories, stay until the end, because this is a roller coaster of failures, innovations and tragedies in the world of motorcycling. 🏍️🔧
In this analysis, I will tell you how it all began in 1898, when James Norton began manufacturing motorcycles in his workshop. The story seems to have a promising start, but the company quickly faces its first major failure: bankruptcy. Over the decades, Norton faced several setbacks, including problems with competitors, production failures and even a disaster with the Wankel engine that almost led them to ruin. However, its most famous model, the Commando, with its unique design and robust engine, became an icon, but even that didn't save the brand. Throughout the video, you'll see how wrong decisions and financial problems were a constant for Norton. The Commando, although innovative, suffered from several mechanical problems and an engine that didn't meet expectations.
Despite its beauty, problems with the bike's engine and design caused Norton to be sold several times and eventually cease to exist as a recognized brand. In the end, in an unexpected twist, even the iconic bikes that Norton gave away to museums were auctioned off at low prices. How is it possible that such a historic brand got to this point? 🤔
