Is Husqvarna Norden 901 GOOD for Adventure Riding?

To answer all your questions about what I think about the Husqvarna Norden 901, at the end of my 5000km Australian Tour, I prepared this little review.
This is the list of the gear I've installed on this bike for this trip:

True statement in regard to dry legs in the rain. I love my 901. Funnest bike I've ever owned and I've owned a lot after 50 years of never being without.

[@prowler13prowler]

You are the only reviewer who mentioned the air filter issue. Good on you for that....

[@GLICKMIRE]

Really looking forward to your adventures in the Americas. Ride safe.

[@cagdasyildirim]

You deserve millions of subscribers Kinga 🙂🙂 take care of yourself on your new adventure.

[@Zimmermann310]

Very helpful so far nobody explained this problem with the air filter.👍👍

[@RoadTrekker866]

Very nice review. I agree with the location of the air box👍

[@unclegoonschannel]

Great review. Straight to the point. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@CHtomboy]

Thank you for your time. A big being I can't be you. That's you. Thank you for always being cheerful. Looking forward to traveling to Canada. I'm 153cm. You are 179 cm. The difference is huge!

[@firmanhutagalung8927]

Kinga, thanks for your adventure video in Aussie and review Husqvarna Norden 901. See you soon in Canada.

[@gedlyman1]

Good point on the filter. It’s the same intake area as my 2022 Honda XRE 300 in Colombia, which I use for the mountains when I’m there. It gets filthy really easy, covered in mud, sand, dust and so on. It’s amazing they leave it so exposed, there may be a reason I haven’t figured out, but I have to remove the seat and clean it around that area all the time. Some people I heard have added a screen of some kind but I’m afraid that may effect the combustion air intake ratio.

[@martyn_g]

The other option is under the tank like Ducati, then you have to remove the tank to clean it, lol.

[@seazenbones6945]

Really appreciated the heads up on the filter.

[@drabbit61]

Thanks for the heads up about the air filter. Good review.

[@phucnguyen8266]

So great ! Wishing you heppiness and safety on the roads

[@abdulrahmanaljamea8458]

Kinga,, I am a big fan of you ,, i advise you not to let the sponsors turn your vlogs into commercial to thier products, don't let them to turn you to salesman you will lose your fans. Greetings from old fan.

[@thepab3072]

Thanks for the review, love that bike. Looks good too So you're coming to Canada, you are going to love it. We have lots to explore ☺️

[@riderhug]

Seee u in Americas of course! Mexico will be very happy to welcome you. Nice the Huqsvarna bike! As you mentioned get parts could be a problem…..

[@vianco888]

I'm from Japan. Thank you so much, Kinga! for very attractive clips from all over the world!!🎉🎶

[@profi965]

My ride is a 2020 F850 GS Adventure Rally. I love your videos and you as well. Greetings from Hungary.

[@ROTV-DanLockhart]

Great review, Kinga. That air box situation would drive me mad. I wouldn't mind removing the seat and cover, that looked simple... but to have to remove screws too .... and every 200km .... no. There has to be a better way. Thanks for this video! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TT.Hell.]

Is 200km really correct? Change air filter more often than you fill gas?

[@SCQT]

@@TT.Hell. Rottweiler Power Plate is the answer to the airbox woes You would really hate the Ducti Desert X. Have to remove the gas tank to get at the air filter.

[@DieUnendlichkeit1]

Hello Queen of Bike touring , nice Video 👍

[@1960andymar]

Si vienes por Colombia me encantaría rodar contigo y mostrarte algo de este hermoso país, goog luck and better roads!

[@murrelldooms7982]

Always interesting to see what you are doing. Keep jumping and riding. Have fun!

[@maryjanuary3110]

Take care and have a good trip Knga. Hope to see you soon in America with Chillie.

[@bitterlifes]

Personally i think that this Husqy it is the best midweight, allround, adventure motorcycle, by any means! It is pretty versatile, bike for any chalange, it is a true adventurer.

[@peterkoenen4095]

great show i love it and your trip with the bike

[@robbrowne8814]

Great review thanks Kinga.

[@fernandoalcoleabonache3548]

What a beautiful motorcycle, have a good trip, I greet you from New Zealand

[@davidellis2021]

Thanks for the review Kinga. I really like that bike, but I'm too short to ride it.

[@damiank2568]

Have a look at the KTM790 S. Its lower.

[@davidellis2021]

@@damiank2568 It's also not as good, and has already been replaced by the 890.

[@digger_1]

@David Ellis What is your hight? I am 170cm and concidering the Norden, I know some with the same hight that rides the Norden with no issues.

[@davidellis2021]

@@digger_1 I'm 168cm. I haven't sat on the bike but its seat height is 854mm which is about 2cm more than I'm normally comfortable with. There's a factory lowering kit but it's expensive and makes you ditch the good suspension for something much more basic. I will try sitting on one though and see.

[@mikeyb6737]

I love this woman.

[@BernardAnderson]

Nothing like a review from a truly experienced rider (understatement) versus some of the ADV folks on KZbin who have a truck following them! LOL I like the bike and particularly the wind protection from the fairing design, and lights, but still, rightfully or wrongfully, like the 850GS! Great review, thanks.

[@montypeter5228]

I'm looking forward to Chili and a new adventure with you 🙂 Zdravím Polskou sousedku z České Republiky !

[@sickjohnson]

Very cool Kinga! I hope you are at least 2 months ahead of these recordings...winter is approaching hear fast eh!

[@keyboarddancers7751]

High quality premium machine. You should enter ownership experience with a clear understanding of the extra costs associated with premium machinery. It's a really powerful bike for its size and weight. You'd have to feel quite proud riding it because I doubt it's as common a sight as most other ADV mounts. That rear luggage is an excellent choice.

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks that was fun. ✌🏻👊

[@SKgeostrat]

Nice review Kinga! There have been various review, positive and negative on the 901. Yours was pretty clear!

[@shirleyboy8859]

Great review Kinga.... Looks like the Norden is a very capable Bike.... :-)) xxx

[@jaygorakht5135]

Adorable bike 😍😍😍

[@daveinwla6360]

Thanks for the info on the semi-rigid/soft panniers. The consensus seems to be that soft bags are the safest in a crash.

[@gfrizzleshizzlemanizzle]

Hi Kinga. Shouts from New Zealand. Great review, just discovered you.

[@maxmall06]

Great kinga!👏👏

[@rosslangerak8361]

Love the bloopers.

[@ctaskiran]

Hey Kinga, did you notice any engine heat reflecting to legs on this bike? I heard some complaints about it. Great review btw, thanks and stay safe 🥰

[@onherbike]

I did this tour in winter - it was quite cold and wet most of the time so the heat from the engine was actually a nice thing. But I can imagine in hot weather it could be nuisance.

[@ibrahimaldossri2646]

Hi…… I saw the cooling fans close to your knees. I think in hot weather it will give you more heat. I may be wrong. Thanks 🙏 keep it up 👍

[@podunkman2709]

Jak sponsor daje to jest dobry. Bardzo dobry. Fantastyczny nawet. Taki jest wlasnie sens takich video.

[@JimmyHutchison]

I was looking at the norden for my next bike,I think I’m going to keep my 2022 Honda cb500x for now as I’m enjoying it in Australia and it is lots of fun

[@mattivirta]

honda rebell 500 have lot lot better than norden, why u change cb500x to shit bike, not normal, keep honda, have perfect bikes builder.

Great review Kinga. Good work 👌🏼💪🏼👊🏼👍🏼🤩

[@wolfmanwolfman4551]

Hi Kinga How many motorcycles can you drive 200 km in the desert in Africa or outback Australia without checking your air filter. My simple answer is none..Many thanks for a detailed review of the bike, you could have covered, brakes, weight vs. balance, acceleration etc. I think the Husqvarna Norden 901 is worth because they lent you a bike..Apart from everything as I have complained so a really good video and i look forward to you continuing your travels in Canada. Take care and drive with respect. Rogga/Sweden 👍👍👍

[@TeslaParadox]

Well that’s a great review of the husky. I’m actually looking at the expedition version of 901. Pozdrowienia ze Stanow

You do look great on that bike Kinga. I'm sure Husky [KTM] has made a few sales because of your videos. I like the 21 inch front.

[@LXDDLE10]

Excellent review. Very worthwhile seeing your thoughts on the Norden vs the F800GS. If anyone knows the F800 it is you. Thank you!

[@chrishart8548]

the F800 was never the best but people that own one love them.

[@larifari4371]

217 kg wet is quite reasonable. Especially given the performance of over 100 horsepower.

[@ishadowmarshall282]

That is a beautiful bike.

[@robertupchurch8088]

Thanks, good review. I was curious what you thought of Dusty the Husky.

[@robertcooper6910]

I wrote off my F850GS in Canada’s Arctic this summer but kudos to my Outback Motortek crash bars. They didn’t budge one bit. I’m looking for a replacement and the Norden 901 seriously interests me. Thanks for the overview.

[@Hansen80]

Did you make it to Tuk?

[@robertcooper6910]

@@Hansen80 made it to Fort McPherson and limped it back home to Toronto. The fact that I didn’t do that last 300kms is haunting me!

[@Hansen80]

@@robertcooper6910 pretty damn close, and you got to ride the most beautiful part of the Dempster. North of that isn’t as scenic, just more so that you could’ve said you did it! Next time

[@michiganborn8303]

This bike must be exceptionally rare here in North America because so far I've only seen one American motorcycle journalist cover this bike extensively. "Big Rock Moto" claims this is an awesome bike and sounds like a bargain for around $15,000 U.S.

[@franciscoburguete9959]

Agregale en la entrada espuma de filtro especial que se usa en motos de carreras ..y....listooo ! 😂

[@Luckydluke]

Awesome review, Thank you for so much info. One more question tho, have you tried riding with passenger and how does rear shock handle the bags or bags and passenger together?

[@gepardsc]

It reminds me a lot of KTM 950/990 adv. As we look at from the side, it is almost a copy of KTM. I hope it also has the same off-road qualities as the Ktm. Greetings from Łódź🇵🇱

[@LtBRS]

What are the maintenance intervals? How about parts availability in 3rd world countries? Does it require special shop tools in simple basic-equiped (middle of nowhere) shops? Is the suspension adjustable for both road condition and increseing/decreing traveling weight?

[@dalewyatt1321]

Suspension? and the ridiculous $9,000 suspension upgrade. I suppose you can't be to critical when it's a loan bike but I'd loved to have seen more. You'll be happy when you get back on the BMW after a few months.

[@ksorwai]

Hello thanks you video 👍♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍🤝

[@toltod]

To keep the dust from your filter...carry a pack of oiled filter socks in a ziplock bag when on a long trip.

[@ljoelmchanley3676]

Don't run Chillie in to the grave, send her into retirement in a willing subscriber's garage and get yourself this bad ass bike. It would be good for Chillie, it would be good for your channel!

C'est lesquelles de sacoches exactement elles ont l'air top !

[@Mitcos]

Cieszę się z tych Ameryk. Szczególnie ciekaw jestem Kanady i USA z pozycji motocykla. A ten filtr w nordernie go dyskfalifiukuje do wszystkiego innego prócz wycieczek po europejskich asfaltach.

[@daveinwla6360]

The effective faring and the stupid air filter design were worth hearing about. Husqvarna would probably mention the 270-degree crank. But it's NOT a bike to take for 3rd World touring.

[@kristiankjaer6238]
