This year is the 10th anniversary of The Longest Day Challenge, when 39 motorcyclists will ride from Land's End to to John O'Groats in 24 hours to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
In the autumn1974, this streamliner was taken to Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to attack the absolute speed record for motorcycles, which stood at 265.49mph.
The Supercharged Super Nero, was the natural successor to Nero, George Brown's legendary Vincent twin sprint record breaker Nerd had broken virtually every National course record
While Scott's production machines were marketed as a kind of luxury "wheeled horse" for the Edwardian Gentleman, there was valuable publicity to be had in competition success
The proposed new Norton flagship was the Nemesis, with a compact fuel- injected 1500cc V8 engine housed in a cast aluminium frame. Other features seen on this preserved prototype are the use of super-light magnesium alloy for the one-sided rear swinging arm and a front fork assembly merging the suspension sliders, mudguard and brake caliper mounts.
