WOW what a tool, Pa Norton would be really really proud, first you blow away 2 strokes, and then a racing Honda, I know it's not a 79mm x 100mm ES2 but great job. Well done.
HI Micheal, tried to upload a picture of the bike but failed! It has a home made crank at 110 stroke, home made Barrel at 86mm bore (Manx piston), home made much stronger crankcases, ES2 Iron head reprofiled and valve sizes changed. Comp ratio nearly 15:1 running on methanol. Many hours in the workshop and good fun to ride. Glad you enjoyed the video. Regards Peter
Ye gods! That thing shifts! Hope you had as big a grin on you're face as I have, brightened up a crappy day, thank you fella👍
Wonderful sound, exhilarating video. I'm saving this to watch again. Thankyou.

Omg...what a wicked ride (and rider!!!). The meanest sound out of a Norton I've ever heard!
My God, so this is what it feels like to be one of the best! Controlled, gutsy riding, and what pickup on that old single, even if its now 640cc.
Incredible, what a bike, and what a pilot !
Superb ride and a class note ,
fucking hell,,,, that thing has got some torque!!!! what a sound, good footage, I LOVE IT.
Would have been good to see the bike as well.
Hi, could you give more details of your motorcycle? Year etc... could you make a video showing it? Cheers!
Never mind the bike. The riders no slouch. Any vid or information on the construction of this machine?

Brilliant, love the sound, some bike !
What a beast!
What it must look like when racing during an earthquake.
am i hearing things or is he missing a lot of shifts?
Yes you're right, I counted at least three, just imagine the final result if none were missed.
I thought he missed some as well.
Power of big single 😮
It cut out when he came to a stop just like my BSA.
Good ole Thumper!
