Recreating The 1970s Norton Racing Motorcycles

Uploaded December 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Part three of the story of how the famous Norton Works Team from the 1970s reunited one last time, in 2004, to recreate the five racing machines they first built 30 years earlier, after disaster struck the UK's National Motorcycle Museum and destroyed more than two thirds of its collection of priceless veteran, vintage and classic motorcycles.

With exclusive access to the workshops of former Norton race engineer Norman White, we follow the team as they hand craft these bikes back to life in less than a year from drawings, photographs, and their own memories.
