Norton Rotaries in the pits at Mallory 2007

Crighton and JPS Nortons being started up by the incredibly talented man himself Mr Brian Crighton.
Hear the distinct Rotary sound from the exhaust pipes.
Rotary heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I want now is a JPS shirt like the Norton team.

Love that sound , cross between inline 4 and 2 stoke absolute quality

[@user-ey3qk4vo7r]

That JPS bike sounds so sweet!

[@roadrocket]

[@bhart87]

Great sound.... best in my opinion.... especially hearing the NRS roar round the TT with Hizzy on board....

[@FuckTheGlobal]

the best music ever made!!

[@jameswaby3976]

Bring back the jps Norton 😭😭 I want my childhood back

[@ideyboo]

What's more, Trev Nation put on a show on the JPS on slicks - look at the weather. Now that's a hero!

[@guitarpaul3645]

Gorgeous, gorgeous legendary machines.

[@TitanTrond]

The Norton racing rotaries are so cool, very few other bikes sound so raw, excellent upload, thanks! :o)

[@YZFEXUP]

Wow that noise is incredible I'd have loved to have seen these race

[@JeppeOlsen]

I think I just soiled myself. That's motoring heaven...

[@Luke-Harno3angler.]

Masterpiece Bike !

[@r1wantone]

Oh my god they should record that sound to CD, I miss seeing those bikes on the track

[@CrazyAlvis]

Those are the nastiest sounding race bikes ever.
Makes my hair stand up on edge.

[@privatejoker1000]

Brutal Sound

[@tooslimpat]

I loved going to watch these bikes race

[@PMAR09]

The genius that is Mr Brian Chrichton himself. I had the honour to work with him from '91 to '93 at Shenstone, wonderful times.......
Did I spy Mr Bob Rowley hovering in the background?

[@TehRacooonODoom]

I didn't know this was done, I LOVE IT!

[@ozz100]

my friend has the no4 sat in his conservatory... what a machine..

[@rotarytruck]

lovely....!!

[@the74rrhotline]

I would bet they run pre-mix - being a real race bike. (but I have no clue).
I have had a couple different generation MAzda RX-7's and I prefer running premix and discarding the oil injection. Rotaries sure like it, and since 2 stroke oil burns off well, thats what I add to the fuel (mixing some 4 stroke oils can carbon up an rotary engine as they may not entirely burn off - ESPECIALLY Synthetics. 2 Stroke premix Syn. All the way :)

[@ballsininface23]

I just shit myself...
Unbelievably beautiful.... Does anyone know how much horsepower these engines are putting out? I just read in a magazine (can't remeber which one) that the guy that made these race engines for Norton just made a motor that is supposedly make somewhere from 180-200 hp!?!?!

[@fredbcj]

3 is the magic number

[@MilesB1975]

Lots of lovely smoke, I heard they run a 2-Stroke style fuel / oil mixture. (No sump)
Does anyone know this for sure.
(Don't know why I'm asking for facts on friggin TH-cam though!)

[@slipersox]

Dunno mate. Just thought I'd freak you out with a notification on a 12yr old comment

[@rbuxto]

They actually say 'Nor-ton' when blipped.

[@r1wantone]

Was that trevor Nation making a comeback?

[@originalbrownirish]

they burn oil right

[@DRIFT4TIRES]

ive heard 180hp! nice power to weight ratio goin on eh?

[@r1wantone]

No it's Trevor Nation, Steve Spray is in Prison on remand for indecent assult
