Now here they are in style....

The prospect of owning a Norton Rotary in 2017 would be a bit like owning an NSU RO80. Nice to reminisce and look at but otherwise you wouldn't go near it.

I'm old enough to remember those... and the two-stroke Wartburg!

My mates dad had a Wartburg, I suddenly feel very old :lol:

That's started something!
What about Saab 93 and 96 cars with 2 stroke petrol engines, but better, Commer 'knocker' 2 stroke diesels fitted to commercial vehicles.

I cannot remember my mates dads sounding like that (first video) i am not surprised the idea never caught on (smoke in second video)

Sounds like a long ratio gearbox with a straight pipe tied to well tinkered baffle or lack of it.

All 2 strokes sound awesome, except mopeds! I still want a H1 or H2 so bad but even junkers are commanding four-figure sums, anything remotely useable goes for five!

I had a KH250 bugger used to missfire on the middle pot when it rained heavy, it also seized on the same pot once which was an arse twitching moment I didn't ever want to go through again.

All part of the fun! My mate crashed one of those when failing to slow down quickly enough after a 'speed trial'. Had expansion chambers that sounded like 120 decibels of ripping sailcloth. Mechanical music!

After taking mine apart for a service what seems like forever ago,I'm finally back on the road!

Certainly a lovely piece of kit....

New toy ! Parked it next to the grainfather for now

Today I decided I'd treat my ageing 748 to a new cover, It's out in the yard in all weathers, and the old cover is worn out, starting to rip into holes, and is frankly an eyesore. The old girl deserves a little looking after in her old age! I've had a bike licence and (apart from a couple of short periods) a bike on the road too, ever since I was 25, and I'm pushing 70 now. I suppose the end of biking is in sight for me, but I feel fine at the moment.
