Early swinging arm 500cc Model 7
Authentically restored Dominator
Supplied with a V5C
Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. The Model 7 Dominator was a 500 cc vertical twin motorcycle built by Norton between 1949 and 1955, before being superseded by the Model 88. It was the first of Norton's Dominator range of motorcycles with an engine designed by Bert Hopwood and was a departure from Norton's previous practice of producing single-cylinder machines. Successful in its day, the bike was even used by the Japanese police force in the 1950s.
This swinging arm Model 7 Dominator has been very well restored back to its original condition. A good looking bike with its pear shaped silencers and classic Norton silver fuel tank with black and red pin stripping, it will make an ideal mount for vintage runs and rallies. Run recently, it comes supplied with current V5C.
