This is a really tricky one! In the 1960s, the 'cafe racer' look was in and many motorcycles were modified to look more like the racers of the day. Although at first glance this has the appearance of a Manx Norton, it definitely isn't a Manx, as they were a 500cc single and this is clearly a twin. The engine is a Norton Dominator 99 unit (600cc twin), and looking at the other pictures, I'm almost certain that the bike is a Dominator 99 (1956-1962) fitted with a Manx replica tank and clip-on handlebars. |

All of the Norton twin engines look the same so I don't think we can even be sure it is a 600. |
