Description
Norton 1925 model 16 H 490 cc side valve single frame # 17564 engine# 4169
In 1921 Norton Motors moved into new premises in Bracebridge Street, Birmingham.
The model range consisted of two simple, sturdy and beautifully finished side valve three speeders, the 490 cc model 16/17 and the 633 cc “Big 4”, and three direct belt drivers, very fast but rather outdated now and really only of interest to the real speed enthusiast.
The model 16 actually was available in a home market version, the 16 H, and a heavier built colonial version, the 17 C.
The 16 H engine with dimensions of 79x100 mm had a remarkable production run of no less than 45 years.
Keywords with this design are reliability, robustness and power.

Description
Like the majority of their contemporaries, Norton relied on the
sidevalve engine until the 1920's, when the existing and well-tried
490cc unit was used as a basis for the firm's first overhead-valve
design. Penned by James Lansdowne Norton himself, and first seen
in prototype form in 1922, the overhead-valve Norton made little
impact in that year's Senior TT, though at Brooklands D.R.O' Donovan raised the world 500cc kilometre record to over 89 mph using the new motor. A road-going-version -the Model 18- was catalogued for 1923, quickly establishing a reputation for both speed and reliability when a standard engine assembled from parts was used to set a host of records, including a new 12 hours mark. Racing continued to improve the breed -when Alec Bennet won the Senior TT for Norton- as a direct result of the works team's experiences.

The single speeders had specially tuned engines that were very appealing to customers, and the factory listed these tuned engines for fitment to the three speeders as well. The model 16 actually was available in a homemarket version, the 16 H, and a heavier built colonial version, the 17 C. The tuned machines were issues with a certificate that the engine had reached a speed on the Brooklands track of 70 mph for the B.S. or Brooklands Special or 65 mph for the B.R.S. or Brooklands Road Special. This machine was part of the Kenneth Bills collection till 1991, when it was acquired by a Dutch collector. Only four of these machines are listed in the VMCC Register of machines.
