do you want to ride it or a museum peace, if you want to ride, it must be mollied, check primary chaine case for wet oil on the gearbox side at the bottom. Beware of unregisterd raraty, my view is an f1 on the road is the raraty i am willing to bet money theres more than 50 unregisterd f1s left.as a...

Its fare too easy to criticise, we must remember that we are a small group who are not going to get much bigger unless Norton start making rotarys again so its unlikely the site can be subsidised by advertisers. We need to document as much info as possible relating to any make of rotary as much as p...

Hi allI have purchased the grahams rotary dvd from the noc, covers a lot of what has been said and a couple of points on the tensioner not covered. This dvd was well worth the money even if its just to understand how the engines are put together. Previously I sent a lot of time rebuilding vane and s...

Hi allI have now purchased an f1 sport, thanks to graham for vouching for me, as the seller had had a previous bad experience. The machine is reputedly the twelfth made, and has had 1 owner from new, the mileage is very low at under 4k, I believe is correct as the bike still has its original Micheli...

My first thought is a ...

Hi ChrisThanks for the repleyAt the moment i am wating to see if an f1 sport turns up as it would be a shame to caniblise an f1 in this condition.Regards Wayne

Hi AllI must agree Derick the f1 is just about adequate up to 100mph but so is my 1969 commando, My 2002 Daytona pulls like the f1, then it hits 7000rpm and the difference is phenomenal, Norton should have offered elegal (of course I meant not for road use spares) tuning parts and ejector exhaust, I...
