Is a stock 1957 Norton up to the task of taking corners like this guy is taking in the video? I guess so seeing as how he is doing it! I have modern motorcycle experience, and antique scooter experience, but not antique motorcycle experience... antique scooters of this era (Allstate, Vespa, Cushman, Lambretta, etc) you're lucky if you have more than a sprung "pogo stick" suspension on the front, if you have a dampener of some sort you are already in the rarified air... hit a bump in the asphalt while you are pushing into a turn on one of those machines and you will have to be both lucky and good to hold your line.
