　　-That sums up Bracebridge Streets new-for-1962 sporting Dominator 650SS.

　　-Norton launched its first 650cc twin, the U.S.-market Manxman, in 1960, responding to requests for more power than the original 500s and 600s could reliably supply. Available in Europe the following year, the Dominator 650 was built in standard, DeLuxe and SS variants, all of which featured a new cylinder head with downdraft inlet ports. With 49bhp on tap, plentiful low-down torque and exemplary handling courtesy of its race-proven Featherbed frame, the 650SS was one of the outstanding sports motorcycles of the 1960s, being more than a match for Triumphs Bonneville in terms of all-round performance.
