The Norton Atlas 650 is all new, and it comes in two variants.
Norton has always made super-cool motorcycles, but the company’s bikes are usually high-displacement, high-dollar, and low-volume machines. With the all-new Norton Atlas 650, that changes a bit.
Both new versions of the Atlas 650 have a, you guessed it, 650cc engine. They come with a surprisingly affordable price tag.
Norton Atlas Changes the Game
Norton will sell the Atlas in two variants, the Nomad (a street-focused naked bike) and the Ranger (a mild off-roading scrambler). The Ranger gets a bit more suspension travel and protection to important parts and components as well as some mild styling and design differences.
Norton Atlas revealed with two new models, 250 of each model to be released for the UK market this Saturday Motorcycle Live The Atlas 'nomad' priced at £9,995 and the Atlas 'ranger' priced at £11,995. UK deliveries set to commence in May 2019 with European bikes set to release later in 2019, followed by USA, Australia late 2019.

Since its revival, Norton has not been a high-volume bikemaker. That could change with the Atlas. The company has higher aspirations to sell more bikes, according to RideApart, and the pricing supports this.
The Nomad will start at $12,900 and the Ranger comes in at $15,500. Not exactly basement bargain prices, but certainly not outrageous when you look at the market.
The bikes will go on sale in the UK and then come to America.
