This is a Norton ES2 1951 British Motorcycle - first produced in 1927. It was a long stroke single, always 79mm x 100mm bore and stroke, originally launched as a sport bike but throughout its long life it was gradually overtaken by more powerful models. It remained popular due to its reliability and ease of maintenance, as well as the traditional design. From 1947 the ES2 had an innovative hydraulically damped telescopic front fork and race developed rear plunger suspension. Here is a very original and to the most part unrestored example of the famous Norton 500cc sporting single, the ES2. This old thumper starts easily and sounds great. It is an old unrestored bike and the engine probably hasn’t been touched for years but it sounds OK. It really is a pleasure to ride this big old single. It pulls like a train through all the gears and whilst it doesn’t accelerate like a big twin, it more than makes up for it in character and charm Just as you see in the photographs.

Beautifully restored! 1959 Norton ES2 Frame number: 81856 Engine number: 81856 Gearbox number: N12152 ? A staple in the Norton model line from 1927 until the early 1960s, the 490cc ES2 started out as the "poor man's International," with a slogging long-stroke overhead-valve single in place of the Inter's racier bevel-driven overhead-cam design . The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963, though the engine dimensions of 79 x 100mm bore/stroke – first adopted by James Lansdowne Norton in 1911 – remained unchanged to the end. Over the years it went from having a rigid frame with girder forks, to using the Inter's "Garden Gate" frame with plunger rear suspension, married to Norton's Roadholder telescopic forks. Eventually the ES2 would be housed in the famous Featherbed frame, Norton's gift to good handling.?? ? The matching-numbers example offered here has been on display in a private and very substantial multi-multi-million dollar collection of European cars and motorcycles. A restored model from 1959, the first year for the wideline Featherbed frame, and shows just over 24,000 miles on its Smiths Chronometric. The bike was purchased by the previous owner in 1976, and after enjoying the bike for 24 years, he embarked on a three year ground-up restoration. It wears the correct slab-sided muffler, while modern sheathed Hagon shocks keep the vintage theme but should yield improved road-holding. ? Purchased several years ago by the current owner in the presented cosmetic condition, the bike was sympathetically overhauled mechanically, with attention given to brakes and carburetion and minor detailing. The engine has excellent compression and the bike runs, stops and handles exceptionally well. The bike is accompanied by a substantial file of receipts for the restoration as well as books and manuals. ? With chrome panel on its gas tank and red piping on the seat, this is a very handsome example of Norton's long-running single.

Rare single cylinder Norton, fully restored and immaculate, 3,635 miles showing, not accurate but pretty close. The ES2 is a Norton motorcycle first produced in 1927. It was a long stroke single, always 79mm x 100mm bore and stroke, originally launched as a sports motorcycle but throughout its long life it was gradually overtaken by more powerful models. It remained popular due to its reliability and ease of maintenance, as well as the traditional design. From 1947 the ES2 had an innovative hydraulically damped telescopic front fork and race developed rear plunger suspension. From 1953 it had a single downtube swinging-arm frame and was uprated to the Rex McCandless Featherbed frame in 1959, featuring an improved AMC gearbox, revised cylinder head, crankshaft-mounted Lucas RM15 60-watt alternator with coil ignition and an 8-inch front brake with full width hubs. The wideline Featherbed-framed bike was road tested by The Motor Cycle June 4, 1959 and found to have a mean top speed of 82 mph and with petrol consumption of 56 mpg at 60 mph. For 1961, in common with other large-engined Nortons, the bike was further improved with the Slimline frame with upper frame rails narrowed and a restyled slimmer tank. The last Norton ES2 was produced in 1964, but a Matchless-based machine with Norton badges was produced for a further two years before final discontinuation, coincident with the commercial failure of the AMC Group.
