Conclusion - what sticks

Wonderful, this Norden 901. Husqvarna has delivered, namely a travel enduro that feels comfortable not only on the flat road, but also off-road. Also visually, the Husky stands out pleasantly from other machines of similar caliber. It is not too fat and not too thin, has a lot of power and sounds good. What more could you ask for?
 
In addition, the remarkable accessibility of the motorcycle, which also accommodates less experienced bikers. We are sure that this bike will sell well and rightly so. If you have tasted blood now, please go to Heller & Soltau for a test drive to St. Michaelisdonn. There the Norden 901 is ready for a test drive and there are beautiful country roads around the corner, where you can also drive the vehicle out.
