This example, from a true enthusiast, is perfectly running and offers an authentic riding experience as Norton originally intended. With its classic lines and reliable engineering, the ES2 is a particularly attractive model for collectors and classic motorcycle enthusiasts.

Historical Background

The Norton ES2 was introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show and was Norton's top overhead-valve drive model from the beginning. Based on the design of the Model 18 engine combined with the frame of the CS1, the ES2 quickly gained fame as a sporty and robust motorcycle. This model was produced for many years and underwent several improvements, including the introduction of an aluminum cylinder head in 1955, with which this example is equipped. Also, the ES2 later received the famous Featherbed "slim-line" frame modifications, which further improved ride comfort and stability.

Technical Specifications and Handling

The 1955 ES2 features the classic 79x100 mm engine block, a proven design used by Norton since 1911. With the addition of a lightweight aluminum cylinder head, cooling was improved, contributing to performance and reliability. Smooth and reliable, this motorcycle offers a wonderful old-school riding feel thanks to its straightforward technology and sturdy frame.
