In this video I take the Nemesis up to AK Sportscars in Peterborough to meet up with Dave from Canems to map the ecu and then take to bike to a local airstrip to run it at speed. Sadly it turned out to be a windy day with 45mph gusts and continuous wind making it virtually impossible to record good sound at the airfield! but hopefully its ok.
The Norton Nemeses is a pre production prototype that was made in the late 90's with claims of a 200+mph top speed from its 1500cc fuel injected V8 engine.
As far as I'm aware, this is the only bike that has survived but if any of you know of other bikes please leave a comment. This bike is owned by the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham UK has been on display as a non running exhibit for many years.
I have already worked on the bike last year getting the engine to run after a few rudimentary checks, new oil and batteries for series 12 of Henry Cole's "The Motorbike Show" where Henry rode it for a few miles up to around 50 mph, but it wasn't running very well and was leaking a lot of oil and coolant.
Episodes of "The Motorbike show" can be seen on itvx player on line and some shorter edits are available on Henrys YouTube channel.
