During its long production life the 490 cc ES2 consolidated its reputation as a well mannered, OHV single deserving of it's Norton badges. From the original plunger framed ES2's introduction in 1947, right up to 1963, by which time it had received many changes including the incorporation of the revered Featherbed frame and revised Roadholder front forks, the model lived up to its appropriately colloquial nickname, the ''Easy Two''. Easy to ride, maintain and live with, the bike's softly tuned engine, developed from the earlier model 18, continued almost unchanged throughout production. The name was so highly respected it was to live on after the 1962 amalgamation of Norton Motors into the AMC group, when the ES2 became a rebadged Matchless G80.

This handsome late model ES2 appears in good condition with its race-bred ‘Featherbed’ frame. The previous owner was a respected ‘Norton man’, well known in 1960s and 70s club racing circles, and it is now offered for sale on behalf of his family. An excellent opportunity to acquire an eminently rideable ‘last of the line’ Featherbed ES2.
