@brznzzy

Stroker?? These arent 2strokes man...

[rutager4152]

@brznzzy Theyre rotaries. Not piston engines.

Hear the stroker,?

[roaringwaterbay]

norton no longer makes these, correct?

[mgtkr1]

@roaringwaterbay recently brought this aesome project back to life. brian crighton is the man behind these awesome missiles. while working at norton back in 8? he started toying with a norton police bike and realised it could make massive power. after that, he got the ok to start a race effort and with a crew began building the rc588. spondon built the chassis and micron made the special pipe at 1 point. dymag made the wheels. initially it was aircooled. they were 90% british built. a magic time

[20PhantoM07]

[r1wantone]

The first one to start up sounds like it has a standards road engine, the second one sounded much crisper more like the real thing.
