I researched bikes for more than 3 years to find best best option for long highway rides with the option of doing green and blue trails/roads. I ended up deciding that the Honda AT AS was the best option. Then I saw the Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition. 😮 Within 2or 3 days, I fell in love with this bike. The Norden 901 Expedition was my unicorn bike. On January 2, 2024 my wife and I ordered one. On January 9, we took it home. I have ridden this on some red trails(that used to be green) and it blows my mind every time. I would not recommend this bike to anyone shorter than 5’ 11”.
I own this bike ('24) The windscreen hole is to eliminate buffeting at high speeds, (you know, like a open window in your car, resonance) I've had it over a ton & everything works flawlessly. The seat could use a little more padding. After 4hrs in the saddle it gets achy, I'll be adding a dead animal or something to fix that on the next RT. Every review hates the bags, I don't have a problem w/them. They stay dry & hold as much liquid (weight) as you can fit. Could be larger but then your hauling a passenger amount of dead weight up a mountain. I'll pass on extra weight. Love to give in depth trail review but alas one has to work so, so far mostly I've gone over the handlebars 3 times, dropped it twice (Slipped on pine needles & stalled while cold doing a cowboy launch. No witnesses so don't tell anybody) Replaced one plastic brush guard $100+ (you have to buy a pair *^%$#?!) Heated seat never worked, dealer gets to deal w/that. Grips do work. Handles corners like a road bike, balanced on the Hwy. All & all I like the bike. Goes like stink (Zoom) Who knows on reliability ? "Futures a mystery" The swedes didn't cheap out on Nordens though, it seems. The flying I've done is because I figure YTrs are all wimps & I know how to cross ponds & power up steeps because I confirm everything I do w/my own opinions 1st, then mash the throttle & yell. Be surprised how often it works. "The bruise method" Amazingly no scratches on the paint yet ! R brake lever is sculpture but works. ☮
You kind of caught me by surprise when you mentioned you thought the Harley-Davidson was around the same price the Harley-Davidson starts at 20,000 but it is a 1180 cc motorcycle also but if you've ever ridden one they're definitely not and off pavement motorcycle by a long stretch of the imagination in my opinion😊
So after posting this video, a few comments were posted under it from owners who complained about some engine problem. But they are covered under warranty. Look into the forums for more details.
The number 901 has nothing to do with the displacement, it is how KTM wants to imply that HUSQVARNA is of higher quality it's a way to say, HUSQVARNA, GASGAS, KTM EJ: 701, 700, 690 but all bikes haf the same engie

3:36 I would have hit that ramp 😜 test out the suspension.
I would only be concerned how reliable this bike is ?

Hydraulic clutch is a weakness??? But hydraulic brakes are okay? Hmm…

sure it does...889cc, with the husky uptick to 901, so folks know the difference. lots of companies do that
How are you gonna ride a Husky with WP Explorers through city traffic and call it a review?

're saying that the indicator. Is not to the left or the rite of the screen.? If so, why would they mess that up?
