Demands for a Norton twin with increased performance had been growing following the introduction of Triumph’s Thunderbird and Tiger 110 models and BSA’s A10 series machines, which had left 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 82mm). 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.
Reportedly subject to a concours standard restoration by one of the vendor’s friends prior to its acquisition some fifteen years ago, the Norton is said to be holding up well having been sparingly used for club events and evening meets etc. The paintwork and chrome remain presentable but the ‘Domi’ has not been rideen for a short while and so will require recommissioning before use. The Norton is offered with a current V5C.
