Conclusion on the Voge DS 900 X

The Voge DS 900 X is a well-made mid-range adventure bike at an unbeatable price. It is almost fully equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. A little fine-tuning is still missing here and there, but the gap to the bikes of the established manufacturers is already surprisingly small.
 
If you are actually flirting with GS Adventure or similar machines, you should definitely take a closer look at the Voge DS 900 X and take it for a test drive. A price advantage of about 50 percent compared to the competition is certainly a convincing argument for many motorcyclists in these times. It may well be that Voge has landed a real hit here, which we will then also see in the sales figures.

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.
