The Norton company tried to come back in business at the end of the 80's and chose something powered by Wankel engines. The F1 bike, with its simple, pure and very British design has the Seymour-Powell signature, the one who designed the less attractive Commander. The F1 has a 588 cc, liquid cooled Wankel engine.
