review deserves more than one thumbs up. Love that you were able to compare the Expedition to the prior Norden launch. The only negative is the floppy side luggage....great results if it just comes down to poorly designed accessory which most riders are going to upgrade anyways.

Together with a NX250 it is the Expedition is the best bike i have ever had. And beleive, i had some bikes in my life. Like 1190R and 800 XC. Tenere's, XT500, Dr. Big and so on and so on. Almost everything is very good. The thing Husqvarna should have done was to place somekind of changeble scratch plate at the higherup sidepanels. Like Yamaha did back then on the XT660Z. The bashplate protects everything sitting low on the bike. But by that in a crash sometimes you get more force higherup. And the bike will be overleaning when laying on the ground. Making it also more difficult to pick it up. Until now there are no large crashbars that fit the Expedition. And at the front of the bashplate they should create somekind of toolbox. Keeping the weight of the tools as low as possible. And to keep nagging a bit. Husqvarna did a great job with the Expedition. With all the extra stuff. But instead of the luggage they would have made me happier if it came fitted with large crashbars. Created those crashbars that it also works as a base for attaching some softbags. Great for a bit of luggage seperation. Perfect for your easy accessible raingear and a pair of extra gloves. Behind the left sideplastic it would have been great if they created from very strong PE a compartment for one liter of Dalwhinnie. From my point of view this would not have been to much to ask, not ?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts from the launch. Sometimes on paper I wonder why it costs so much.. But this review just quantified why it’s worth that price. Very few bikes come out of the factory floor ready to be bashed like that. Well done on this awesome review!

I bought a 750 GS cause that was inside my budget, but i will say that the 901 Expedition is the best value bike out there. At first it did not like the looks of the 901 but it has grown on me the last year, so maybe i'll buy this the next time i change bike (2025).

Yes the standard Norden is awesome, but if you value the extras on the Expedition, its definitely worth the extra money in our opinion. THanks, Aaron KNOX

@@KnoxArmour Thanks for your reply. Oh I agree for sure, even if you don't value the extras there's no denying Exp model is worth the price difference. The suspension upgrade alone costs more than the price difference. Not saying I wouldn't love to buy the Exp model, just said I don't really need it, but that's mostly cause I can't really afford it right now. Maybe by next spring.

@sv650nyc7 Жыл бұрын
The Tuareg is a bit lighter, narrower seat, more Enduro than tourer, it's a Tenere 700 with better suspension and electronics. The Norden is one level up as an adventure tourer with more creature comforts (heated super comfortable wide seat, also for pillion, large windscreen) for long touring. Even though it's heavier, due to the fuel tanks being low to the ground it feels very light. All in all a better bike IMO. However, I don't trust the reliability and build quality of KTM/Husqvarna. A lot of their bikes are built in China these days. The Aprilia is probably better in that regard. For example, Big Rock Moto"s review showed that the backside stitching of the luggage bags came loose already after a few hundred miles off-road. These bags won't last for more than one trip.

You have a ducati and speak? In italy we say DUCATI SOLDI BUTTATI...translate alone. DUCATI IS ONLY a panigale v4 (obviusly ONLY S). The others are for people that want only appear. Like a 950 ss with so slow engine and so high weight. With fix suspensions. The 110 cv of that engine are so slow. In first time of rpm the bike is absent, and if you find a duke 790 eats you like a pitbull with a chihuahua. I had same engine in desert x. An 890 or an 901 make scream compared. A DUKE 890 R has premium components and for you should be impossible keeping same speed.
