Not a Norton

That’s because under the bodywork, there is a Yamaha YZF750, converted to look like a works Norton rotary by Glyn at Slipstream Motorcycles in Skegness, Lincs. Essentially, it’s a carefully fitted body kit, but as anyone who’s built a special knows, there’s a lot more to it than that. Glyn built this one for himself, but will happily build you one too. Slipstream is on 01754 767879.
