Norton Motorcycles, a British brand founded in 1898, is known for high-performance bikes and racing successes. Beginning with parts manufacturing, it launched its first motorcycle, the Energette, in 1902. Norton achieved early racing victories, like the 1907 Isle of Man TT win. The brand faced financial challenges and ownership changes, impacting its market presence. Despite production halts, Norton's legacy, including the iconic Commando and innovations like the Featherbed frame, endures. Acquired by TVS Motor Company in 2020, Norton continues to evolve, blending tradition with modern technology.
