Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2012

Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2012

Even after more than 10 years since its launch, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 continues to inspire as the ultimate fun bike, especially in the R version. Its greatest strengths are its emotional, powerful yet precisely controllable engine, the dreamlike sound it produces, a potent suspension and its agile handling. As a sporty naked bike, it does not focus much on comfort and its long travel and high seat can cause problems for people with short legs. The biggest challenges, however, are its rarity at the time of purchase and then the lack of a manufacturer who feels responsible for spare parts and service.
