Different engine concepts
The museum’s own collection description mentions single-cylinder and twin-cylinder machines and models with a rotary engine. If you are not a motorcycle expert, this offers a clear starting point: look at how the engineering is placed within the whole of frame, tank and wheels. The differences reveal more than just a series of brand names.
Well-known names from the collection
The Nortons mentioned include a 16H, a Manx 350, a spaceframe model and a Rotary Classic. They are starting points for a conversation about the collection; ask in advance whether a specific model is present. The classic bicycles also give the collection a broader view of two-wheelers.
A targeted opening
The museum has no daily weekly schedule. The first Saturday of the month is the regular time to visit; an appointment is also possible. That calls for some preparation, especially if you are coming with a group or want to take a closer look at one particular subject.
Before you go
Check the first Saturday or make an appointment directly.
