Norvin 1000

The Norvin 1000 is essentially a Vincent engine mounted in a Norton frame and has been made since the 1950's. It is such an impressive looking 1000cc engine but does come with a downside.

This downside is the weight of the Vincent engine which obviously effects the handling of the bike. Whatever the case it's still a classic motorcycle that has made it's place in café racer history. Hailwood Motorcycle Restorations in the U.K still builds brand-new 1000cc to 1200cc Vincent motors to modern specs if you are in that part of the world.

This Audi orange Barton Norvin (below) was build by Mick Barton.
