Founded by James Landsdowne Norton, Norton became one of the legendary marques of the once world-beating British motorcycle industry. A Norton v-twin won the two-cylinder class of the Isle of Man TT in 1907 and by 1924, Bracebridge Street, Birmingham-made Nortons won both Sidecar and Senior TTs. The company had an enviable reputation as manufacturers of ‘Unapproachable’ machines with a sporting pedigree that can be traced back to that first TT win in 1907. Introduced in 1933, the Model 50 survived until 1963, always with a 348cc OHV single-cylinder engine and four-speed gearbox. Production, however, was interrupted by the war and did not restart until 1956.

An older restoration last reported running in 2025, YAS 109 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an eminently rideable ‘girder + rigid’ example with the benefit of an OHV engine. Its previous long term 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 extremely handsome Model 50, it appears to be mostly ‘original’ and unmolested and sports an impressive 8 inch headlamp.
