One of the most exhilarating stories of technical achievement in the history of the motorcycle. The book starts with the first feasibility studies for a Norton rotary engine, and covers its new air-cooling technology benefitting the police, the excellent power to weight ratios giving rise to dune buggies and snowmobiles, and the production of the F1 Superbike that brought the British motorcycle industry to the fore. In-depth profiles of the managers, riders and designers complement an explanation of racing technology.
