The Model 1, more commonly known as Big 4, was a Norton motorcycle made between 1907 and 1954 in various forms. With 633 cc (38.6 cu in), it was the largest and most powerful side-valve engine in the model range and with plenty of low end torque was mostly used to haul sidecars. It was called Big 4 because it was rated at 4 tax horsepower. Mechanically, 'the power output, about which Norton Motors tended to be cagey, was lowly, 14 bhp for 1951'.[1]

Approximately 4700 of the nearly 100,000 military bikes made by Norton during WW2 were Big 4 sidecar outfits. Designed to carry two or three men plus their fighting equipment over very rough terrain, the Big 4 was used for reconnaissance and carrying loads of ammunition to the front line troops.
