Lookin mighty fine! http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2011/07/husqvarna-u nveils-new-parallel-twin-nuda-900r/ | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
well at least they dared to be different with their heavy weight motard type bike though I would rather one of the v twin options instead but that's just me. | ||

Goofy styling way to sell more 800 Rotax BMW's. Meh...does nothing for me. | ||

Is that seat height as high as it looks - get a nose bleed up there - interesting look though. EZ | ||

Another escapee from the basket full of razor blades school of styling. | ||
| Ulynut |
Me like.  | ||
| Danger_dave |
Me moving to big city. Like lot. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I like it. Afraid, though, that my big ass will dwarf it. I'd have to have the seat surgically removed from my butt crack. | ||

The parallel twin has the advantage of being shorter front to back making a short wheelbase easier. Wider, but not IL4 wide. A compromise in many ways, packaging, vibration, cost. Styling? it has styling? looks like the finite element engineering prints went to the body dept. by mistake. Not the new Triumph Hurricane. | ||

Looks like fun! | ||

I like it!!!! It has "moving violations" written all over it. Id ride it like I ride my Buell. | ||

With a step ladder! - lol EZ | ||

Goofy styling way to sell more 800 Rotax BMW's. Meh...does nothing for me. That is like saying the new Erik Buell Racing 1190 is a way to sell more 1125's! It may start life as a humble BME 800 but the Husky version has 100bhp and an extra 100cc so has been pretty much reworked to fit the new bike. I'd buy one (if the price si right) | ||

I like it. R | ||

Under 400lbs Over 100hp Over 72ft/lbs torque 48mm Sachs forks Olins rear shock Brembo brakes I'd rock one! | ||

Looks like a DR-Z had a three-way with a VFR 1200 and an origami paper crane and this is what came out... | ||

"Goofy styling way to sell more 800 Rotax BMW's. Meh...does nothing for me." >>> That is like saying the new Erik Buell Racing 1190 is a way to sell more 1125's! Not so much. The EBR 1190 styling has been lauded almost universally. The new Husky street bike is interesting, but probably not so universal in it's appeal to its intended market. | ||

Great. Another bike added to my "very interested in trying" list. Along with the Ninja 1000, CBR250R, Cross Country, Brammo Engage, Motus ST (not even sure the last 2 are available yet) I'd prefer this one in a 450cc single configuration though. Cut down on the weight without shrinking the seat height and I'm game. Riding the XT for a couple years has taught me that the pros of a tall seat height far outweigh the cons. Flat footing a bike is WAY overrated. | ||
| Xbjelly9s |
I want. | ||
| Danger_dave |
>>Flat footing a bike is WAY overrated.<< I'd like a taller seat for my tall-seat Uly. And I could still flat foot it with knees bent. :-) | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
I want too. If it's to be legal in USA, it will need an ugly rear fender though. | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
One thing that strikes me as crazy is imagining it without the radiator, or the radiator in a different place. The wheelbase could be shortened again - drastically. | ||

Not so much. The Erik Buell Racing 1190 styling has been lauded almost universally. The new Husky street bike is interesting, but probably not so universal in it's appeal to its intended market. I wasn't referring to styling but to the 're-engineering' of the BMW engine into a more powerful configuration of what is ostensibly the same unit. The styling of the Husky will be (already is) a massive hit in Europe although I don't think these style of bikes is as popular yet in the US (although I think it is starting to). It is certainly going to be a good competitor for the Aprilia/KTM/Ducati models already out there and will prbably undercut them in price slightly too. I'd prefer this one in a 450cc single configuration though. Husky already has a 450 Supermoto available with similar 'edgy' styling. |
