The Norton Atlas was a Norton motorcycle made between 1962 and 1968, until it was replaced by the Norton Commando. The engine had lower compression than the Dominator (at 7.6:1) and was fitted with a single 376 Amal Monobloc carburettor giving 55 bhp (41 kW) at 6500 rpm. However the design produced excessive vibration at high revs, so the compression ratio was reduced. The Atlas shared many cycle parts with the last of the Dominator twins and had Norton’s four-speed gearbox and heavy-duty clutch. Electrics were 6-volt and it had Roadholder forks, adjustable Girling rear shocks and a slimline Featherbed frame. In 1964 the Atlas was upgraded to 12-volt electrics, and gained a second carburettor and wider fork yokes. A UK version was launched with flat bars and twin instruments. The Atlas continued to be built until 1968 but by then the Norton Commando had taken over

Formally part of a private collection of motorcycles, this machine presents as a very original Norton Atlas in ‘as-found’ condition. We have been advised this runs very well indeed and is an all-correct numbers machine. It comes complete with a current V5C. It is surely a bike to ride or restore.
