The ES2 500cc was one of Norton’s longest running models remaining in their range until the 1960s. The over head valve single was marketed as a sporting mount for the discerning rider (who could not justify/afford an Inter) during the late forties and early fifties.

Engine – 490cc air cooled ohv. Compression ratio 6.5 to1. Single Amal carburettor. Four speed gearbox, chain drive. 21bhp @5,000 rpm. Weight – 380lb (172kg). Top speed 78mph
