Norton Dominator Performance Portfolio 1949-1970
In 1948 Norton's new twin appeared as a 500cc and soon became known as the Dominator'. The new bike was well received. Although not particularly impressive, this changed with the introduction of the Featherbed frame in 1952. These Dominators all looked good, sounded good, ran well and steered with precision. Bigger engines were introduced and production continued even after the Company was taken over in 1966. The final Dominator, the 650cc Mercury, rolled down the line in 1970. This book contains 42 articles covering road and combination tests, specifications, model intros, performance data. Models: Domiracer, Featherbed Twins, 750 Metisse, 7, 77, 88, 99, 650SS, 750 Atlas, Scrambler, Dunstall.
International Norton Super Profile
The aim of each Super Profile is to take one such model and then present every facet of its character to the reader by word and picture. A full portrait of the model is built up by describing its history, production changes and specifications. Then there are road tests, owners’ views, details of what to look for when buying, and information on the relevant clubs and specialists. Another feature of every Super Profile is a superb photo gallery of around ninety plates, of which many are in full colour. The gallery serves to illustrate the subject model right the way through its production life and to highlight its special achievements – particularly in motorcycle sport.
