He's working over on the channel Urban Rider doing gear reviews so definitely still alive and kicking but may be some contractual obligations where he can't post his own stuff as much or also perhaps just no cool new bike to show off?

I prefer the looks of the 890R. I was always an adventure bike fan, having had several. Now, though, I like naked bikes. I might buy an XSR700 soon. No 890Rs in Thailand, but they still do the two 790 adventure bikes and the Duke for Asia. No concerns with emissions here. Haha! I'd consider a 790R if they were 100 per cent reliable.

"Monumentally offensively ugly". LOL. I bought the KTM 690 Enduro R, but almost didn't because it also is monumentally freakin hideous. But I gave in and decided I didn't have to look at it while I enjoyed the best Enduro on the planet. When I decided to get an "adventure bike I knew I was going to have to go with the even more hideous 890 R. I had been literally sitting in the chair opposite the KTM salesman the day I discovered the 901s existence. Que the singing angels and bright lights. Got a hold of the Husqvarna dealer that afternoon, asked if there were any available and there was one out of three allotted to them that was available. I put money down and three months later it is on it's way to the dealership as I write on April 25. Insurance and Credit Union taken care of. I may be riding this weekend and it will not be on a bike that looks like it was designed by a ten year old transformers fan.

Fully agree about KTM... I'd happily pay money not to look at one! I'd have to be lead to it blindfold... And I'd refuse to look at it while I was off the bike... Also, I hate orange...

I really wanted to get an 890R as they are in stock near me, but I can't help but feeling like waiting a couple months for the Norden 2023 models to arrive would be a better fit for me. As cool as it is to go "yea my bike can do what a dirtbike does".... I live in a city and how often am I going to get to abuse it? I think I'm far more likely to just do moderate trails and mostly road riding. The Norden is also far more attractive... idk why KTM thinks that the 890R has to look like a dirtbike when the other company they own has similar performance in the Norden (between the 890 and 890R in specs) and looks 10X better.

Vs 890 adventure, yes, the Norden is better. It’s the little things like a seat that’s NOT like sitting on a f$&king plank, lol vs 890R, for some the Norden will make a better day to day bike, in between trips - lower seat height helps here. Also, if the trips take up a fair bit of road, I’d have the Norden over the 890R

I got bored waiting for the final release delayed, we were told, by some patent issue around adaptive cruise control. Q: where is it? Is the screen any good being quite low and fixed? And with you on the KTM looks.

I seriously doubt the screen is garbage, many different statures of riders fit differently on many different bikes, therefore many diverse opinions about the Nordens screen. I am sure it will be just fine for me. But as far as I know there’s an optional bigger and taller Husky screen for this bike. I will certainly buy it and in case I need a bit more wind protection on a longer ride simply mont the taller wind screen. No need to express opinions in such a negative manner, people are different and don’t always see things the same way.

@@roverroko306 The screen has no adjustment which limits it’s effectiveness and with, as you rightly say, different view points seems an omission in favour of the aesthetics. My biggest issue is the lack of dealerships. I have KTM close by but no Husky dealer. That’s why I’m on a Honda ATAS vs my 1200 GSA.

The KTM 890 that you showed in the video. Isn’t that the R version with that big beak? If I’m not completely wrong here I believe that the 890 R is more expensive then the Norden 901. The KTM’s aren’t to everyone’s liking! But there are a lot of people (including me) that think it’s ugly. 😉

It is the adventure R in the clips you're right, original price was listed cheaper on bennetts and elsewhere. I think it's slightly more expensive now but there's not much between any of them at the minute.
