Trending Questions on Norton Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
Currently using a 2021 model Dominar 400, driven for around 23000kms. Now, I want to purchase an ADV motorcycle. My daily commute to and fro from the office is about 40 km, much of it on the highway. I had shortlisted the Himalayan 450, but the upcoming Norton looks promising too. Can you suggest a worthy upgrade from Dominar?
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is one of the most sorted sub-500cc, single-cylinder adventure tourers in India and will make for a good step up from your Dominar. While the performance on tap will largely be the same, the Himalayan's suspension and seating comfort, as well as overall quality levels, will definitely feel a tangible notch higher than the Dominar's. We'd recommend you go for the Himalayan right now over the upcoming Norton Atlas because the latter is likely to be in a different price bracket entirely. Also, its India launch timing and service reach remain shrouded in mystery, and for a daily rider, those legitimate concerns matter more than a feel-good brochure.
I am very much impressed by the Norton Atlas adv. Should I wait for it, or is there any other similar adv, right now, close to it in specs but better? Also, I want only an adv. Highway touring is a priority, and the budget is 7L.
The only real peer to the Norton Atlas available currently is the Kawasaki Versys 650, which comfortably blows past your Rs 7 lakh budget, limiting your choice to waiting for the Atlas. The new Norton ADV looks very impressive on paper, but we'd recommend you take the sensible and patient route and wait for some time after the bike is launched before purchasing it, so any teething issues that do arise can be ironed out by the time you are an owner.
I’m confused between the BMW F 450 GS and the Norton Atlas. My riding will be mostly in the city on bad roads and potholes, with weekend breakfast rides. I won’t be doing much off-roading. I currently own a KTM Duke 390 and want a clear upgrade in power while keeping comfort and ease of use. Can the lighter BMW 450 GS compete with the Norton Atlas in real-world performance, especially for city riding and comfort?
We have not yet ridden either the Norton Atlas or the BMW F 450 GS, so we can't comment on the riding dynamics of either machine. We would suggest you wait until you can see multiple reviews of both bikes before purchasing either one to err on the side of caution.
