Description

Built for open-track excitement yet fully road-legal, this 1954 Manx Norton 40M 348cc delivers a raw, rewarding ride. The compact single-cylinder powerplant, light chassis and precise handling make it engaging through bends and eager on the straights. Its responsive nature rewards a confident rider and provides a visceral connection to the road that modern machines rarely match.

Well-prepared and historically campaigned, the bike is road registered with V5 and has been used sparingly for parade runs since its last competitive outing. Fresh Avon tyres and sympathetic maintenance mean it’s ready to enjoy on weekend rides, historic events or as a striking addition to any classic collection.
