Editing Norton Manx

[[Image:Manx.jpg|thumb|350px|Norton Manx]]
The longevity of the Manx as a successful racing machine is a testament to the soundness of the orignal design. A mainstay of the Grand Prix "circus" during the fifties and sixties winning races against technically far more advanced machines, it dominated at National and club level during the same period and either in original, or increasingly "replica", form continues to win today in classic events. The production Manx had gained the McCandless designed "featherbed" frame in 1951. Over the ensuing ten years of production developments prooven on the "works" bikes were incorporated into the following seasons production models ensuring that they remained at the front of the field. Today speacialists continue to build and develop the [[Norton|Norton]] Manx for use in classic competition utilising modern engineering techniques to improve the machines performance and reliability whilst staying true to the spirit of the original.
The MANX was the Ultimate 500 single cylinder road racer for same time, and still is THE bike for Historic racing. Sadly the photo at right isn't a genuine Norton 500 Manx (30)... Hopefully someone can supply a photo?
