That thing is cool. And you could tell by the way he went methodically through the kickstart procedure that young dude knows every nut and bolt on that thing.
Bonjour, Si cest vous qui l'avez restaurée, bravo, c'est une merveille. Merci de partager votre passion avec nous, jeune motard, le bruit du moteur et son démarrage sont incroyables.
Thanks! It's my friend's bike. He has collected some cool cafe racer parts on the bike and made it look like this. I serviced the engine and put the whole bike in driving condition.
Lovely to see another Norvin, I've been fortunate to have seen two in the flesh, both in the UK. As a teenager (19) I was having a drink outside at the Sportsman’s Arms on the A45 and watched a guy park up a white bike and on closer inspection and a chat with the man, got told it was a Vincent 'White Shadow' . Like this bike, just stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Now that is a proper "Cafe Racer", a beast to look at, to start and stop but so very much better than these weird contraptions we get shown on here! Not too bad to ride, Featherbed frame and Roadholder forks I've covered many dramatic miles with the biggest grin on my chops on my Norvin back in 1967-71.
Lovely bike, beautiful sound too. Back in the 60’s a friend built a Vincent 1000 drag bike and we drew lots over who should kick start it as neither of us wanted to get a sprained ankle!!
Would have fitted in perfectly outside the "ACE CAFE" the original cafe home to racers back in the 50'S & 60's I remember it well, up the North Circular round the roundabout & back!
Many years ago (early 1980s) I very nearly bought a Norvin !.. Believe it or not it was on sale at a local country garage near me for MONTHS and was for no money really, they'd wheel it out of the workshop every morning and wheel it back in every night, it was on display to passers-by every day but they just couldn't sell it.. I'd see it every time I went to fill up and one day I decided to ask about it. They started it (it sounded almost identical this one, but it had an open mega exhaust) I even took a test ride, that beast pulled like a train and sounded like a WW2 fighter plane, but like a fool I decided I didn't like the riding position and decided against buying it. It took another three months or so but eventually they did sell it.. I still kick myself to this day !..
@@TheOTvideos No it really wasn't expensive, even going by price levels of the time ! (which makes me kick myself even harder..) I don't remember the exact figure but I do remember thinking it was very reasonable.. and it was peanuts compared to today's Norvin values ! Ironically, maybe it was that which was putting buyers off ?.. Who knows, maybe they thought there was something wrong with the bike ?.. There really wasn't though, I could tell when I rode it that it was well set up and looked after. the only thing I didn't like about it (other than the riding position of course..) was the 'long-circuit' Manx Norton type tank (I prefer the look of the smaller 'short circuit' type.) but that could easily have been rectified !.. At least I can say I've ridden a Norvin, even if it was only for a few miles !
Bike have Black Lightning race cams, pistons and pipes! Normally those racing bikes are not kickstart bikes at all! Only for race! (thats why it need good technic to start, electric ignition makes it bossible)
Its a beauty, love that sound. I like everything except for the ugly rear set foot pegs, should be mid set for comfort. One of the current retro britbike makers should introduce a model with a high performance V-twin engine like the latest 1300 cc Vincent.
The first time I've seen a Norvin. What a beautiful bike.
It's a snortin Norton
Sorry my mistake I never heard of that brand motorcycle before
@@pd8206Vincent engine in the Norton frame?
Wonderful! that bike would have been a king of cafe racers back in the 60s, the envy of every rocker.
Also the 2020's
That thing is cool. And you could tell by the way he went methodically through the kickstart procedure that young dude knows every nut and bolt on that thing.
I was thinking the very same.
Ogri’s bike!
What a great sounding bike. Lovely kickstarting.
Absolutely brilliant ! The guy certainly knows his stuff with this wonderful machine....
Lovely bike with a great sound!

Norvin and Triton my two favourite bikes of all time.
Should be called a Vinton !!
@@stephenbutler3333 I don't mind what it's called it's still probably the best looking bike ever built.
It's beautiful, but google Egli Vincent.

well well i know well this legendary drinking hole ! what year would that have been !!
Lovely bike , Norton frame , Vincent engine 👌 sweet 😋
Used to like the Tritons in my day .❤
What a beauty, Cafe racer! 🥰👍
I want one. Nicest bike I have seen for a while.
Such a brilliant combination, Norton featherbed frame and a shiny Rapide engine! Stunning. Need one in my Garage now! 👌

Lucky kid . What a pleasure it must be to ride that thing on a two lane hwy, late at night with no other traffic around.
What a bike! Fantastic.
That legend of a motorcycle..... is the motorcycle.... all retro motorcycles want to be!
Nice bike and sounds good too.
これは美しい。走る芸術品です。素敵なサウンドです。
What a beautiful motorcycle !!!😮
Gorgeous bike I’m old enough to remember kickstarting motorcycles. Thank god for electric starters 😊
I've been drooling over Vincents since the late sixties, seen about a half a dozen here in the US, never got to ride one.
Lovely bike, beautiful sound too. Back in the 60’s a friend built a Vincent 1000 drag bike and we drew lots over who should kick start it as neither of us wanted to get a sprained ankle!!
Looks great sounds great,enjoy it my man you got something special there.
@@paulkielty3800 Thanks!! This is my friend's bike that I built for him, but maybe I will build a similar one for myself in the future🤔😉

@@jjrider6758 I understand that it annoys you, and maybe that bike wasn't even that expensive back then?😩😩
I think a lot of us missed the chance to buy a beautiful bike, because of less money, family , house or other reasons.
And we all regret !

The sound off that and morre is fantastic
Oh my gosh!!! That is absolutely the coolest bike I've ever seen! The sound is awesome, and the looks......nothing better.
What a beast! Love it.
That is just a beautiful looking bike, as an x Triton owner I think you’ve done everything spot on.
A work of art.
That truly is a lovely thing. That young man knows it very well indeed. First kick. Lovely.
Saw a race years ago Egli Vincent against a TZ350 Yamaha I’ll never forget that sound of the Vincent down the back straight.Pukecohe race way 1972 NZ
Bike have Black Lightning race cams, pistons and pipes! Normally those racing bikes are not kickstart bikes at all! Only for race!

Sounds nice. I'm sure your neighbours agree with me...
Super - Bike ! Greetings from Germany !
A lovely looking dream bike.
Wow! . That’s beautiful!
Great , sounds almost like a vincent black shadow :)
Wow, love the sound!
I never heard of Norvin. Looks and sounds cool
Espectacular!!!❤❤
That's a proper cafe racer !
Stunning.
That does more for me than my wife ever could lol
That engine was on the fastest streetbike in 3 decades
Beautiful sound.
It used to be the ''Art of Shoehorning'' any big engine into a Norton frame!
.
That bike sounds like a very wild big cat
One of the sexiest bikes ever.
Gorgeous and sacrilege at the same time
I see he was checking for oil flow when he first cranked it up. Just like we did with old Indians!!
What a fantastic Bike😊
Nice piece of engine 👍👍
That engine was always looking for a better frame, both dynamically and aesthetically. Beautiful job!
@@towerdave4836 Thanks!
Egli made a superb frame for this engine.
@@keithgoodrick-meech3921I saw an Egli Vincent for sale in Jurby IOM.£65000.My mate said that's cheap for one of them!
Reminds me of that song : Isn't she lovely 👍
That's a beauty. So nice to see. (And hear!)
a Norton with a Vincent engien
Makeet saundit, ja vielä makeemman näköinen pyörä.
Beautiful bike.
Beautiful
Off for a bit of scrambling in the woods then? ;) ! Great bike, well done!
Was für ein Traumbike....
