Grandpa found several of them demolished by fleeing brit. Troops in Thessaloniki ; he build one together out of those, put his old DKW aside and used the Norton as a Kradmelder until he had to abandoned it in Russia. The bike never let him down an produced "funny rings of exhaust gas" I regret it so much that I did not surprise him with a 16H at one of his birthdays when he was still alive since he sometimes talked about "his Norton" when he saw my 750cc 2-stroke Kawasaki (the DKW was also 2-stroke and 2-stroke was no good in his eyes)
Russell Motors Falcon Rd London. Les doesn't do emails but He does do fax. As to the handling, well they wobble horribly if the front tyre is pumped up to normal pressures. Front pressure is supposed to be 16
The War dept standardised on the '36 model, if I remember rightly. It was rumoured that the 16H's handling killed more riders than enemy snipers ever did..... though ours seemed fine
hey my name is sarab i am from india i have a norton 633 cc 1948 model loved your video ,anyways i am need of a few parts is there any ways i could buy it from you or would you know where i can get it from also where are you located thank you waiting to hear back from you thank you again sarab
Pierre... there are and should be no oil seals on the gearbox. A true 'concours' bike ought to have oil inside (i.e. it should be able to run) therefore it OUGHT to leak! Minor item - the gear indicator should have a short pointer to indicate neutral. The long pointer and brass list of gear numbers on the 'doll's head' gearbox is later WD (War Department) addition. Also pre-war bikes had rubber vibration damper sleeves in the handlbar clamps. Jez - handling is excellent.
Dear Mister Carson Is this 16h not a war model. There are two things wich tell me that make the bike a war model. The oil tankt has got a short filler neck. the 1935 has got a long one. The other thing I thought to have recognized is mounting lug of the field stand on the left site of the bike. Maybe I'm wrong kind regards

Hey awesome bike! What does something like this cost?
"Concours condition" with oil leaks to the point that it needs a pan underneath ?
I want to purchase it
