Norton’s V8 Nemesis Motorcycle Was Crazy and It’s Finally Getting Restored

The Norton Nemesis is a bike you've never heard of, and that's OK. Now's your chance to get learned, as it was a machine that was supposedly destined for big things. However, Norton ever only made one pre-production unit, complete with a 1,500cc V8 engine, making it a unicorn of a machine in the motorcycle world.

Lucky for us, we’re given a glimpse of what it’s like to service this machine thanks to none other than British engineer and bike builder Allen Millyard, as he was commissioned by the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham to do some restoration work on the Norton Nemesis V8.
