Norton ES2 Gallery

The Norton Model ES2 was first introduced in the late 1920s using a '3 tube CS1' frame, and the basics of the earlier OHV motor, redesigned with rear-mounted magneto and enclosed pushrods. The frame design was soon to be changed for the traditional twin rear tube cradle frame, which was to remain in production in various guise until the introduction of the Featherbed frame in the mid 50s.

The ES2 proved to be an immensely popular mount for the serious motorcyclist, and good examples are always in demand. More Norton ES2 information.
