The Norton F1 is a road-going sports motorcycle that Norton based on its RCW588 racing motorcycle. The F1 was offered in only one livery: black with gold decals and grey and gold stripes, to reflect John Player's sponsorship of Norton's race team. It was distinctive for using a 588 cc liquid-cooled twin-rotor Wankel engine. This unit was developed from the motor in the Norton Commander.
The current and original owner of this 1990 Norton F1 has cherished it since the purchase in 1990, however, it has seen little use in more recent years. Offered with its original bill of sale, the machine is also accompanied by the tool kit, various documents, and brochures. Norton have carried out work on the machine in the past, with the receipts on file. At the time of our visit, the F1 was seen to be 'running well'. A rare and iconic machine with a limited production run.
