One Week is a great movie
We carried Norton's for a short time at a dealership I worked for in the early 70's. We had lots of issues with them. They sounded great when running though. They were considered the best looking of the Brit bikes although personally I preferred the look of the Triumph Bonnevilles of the late 70's. Twins, pre counter balancers were shakers, that's for sure whether Norton, Triumph, BSA, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki or Honda. Once they discovered counter balancing is when parallel twins became viable motorcycle motors to me. Even still, most of the p twins I have ridden in recent years have been vibrators of notice. Notable exception for me was my 2003 Triumph T100. Incredibly smooth for a P2.
