Demands for a Norton twin with increased performance had been growing following the introduction of the Triumph Thunderbird and Tiger 110 and the BSA A10 series machines which had left the Norton at a disadvantage. The new machine utilised the 88's cycle parts housing a revised engine with a swept volume of 596cc resulting from dimensions of 62 x 82 mm. Regarded by many as being one of the finest motorcycles of the decade, the 99 was endowed with the best handling in its class although it did not have the outright performance of the Triumph.
Restored to a high standard in 2020 the machine was used sparingly since its completion and for just c. 220 miles. Coming from a collection of machines, this example offers ownership of a particularly good example of the model. The Dominator is being offered with a current V5C and an owner’s handbook.
