Norton Motorcycles is a British motorcycle brand originally from Birmingham, England. It was founded in 1898 as a manufacturer of “accessories and parts for the two-wheeler industry”. As early as 1902, the company started building motorcycles with purchased engines. In 1908, a Norton-built engine was added to the collection. This started the long production of single- and twin-cylinder motorcycles and a long history of racing.
