Naked Bikes - Husqvarna Nuda 900R

Completion of the Husqvarna 900 that is now displayed with a cool design that makes the attraction more on Husqvarna Nuda 900R that has undergone research and experiments that have reached perfection that makes a good achievement for Husqvarna.

Finally, the much awaited and teased Husqvarna streetbike has come to a close-to-final production form, which you can see in the adjacent image gallery. Dubbed Nuda 900R, the two-wheeled machine comes to reveal the BMW-owned brand’s first attempt of challenging the roads.





Husqvarna has taken all there is to love about the beating heart in the BMW F800GS, stripped it naked, cranked up the heat and stuck it in a new super moto. Meet the 2012 Nuda 900R. The 900cc parallel twin now turns out a heady 100 horsepower, and at 385 pounds dry, the bike is guaranteed to the kind of machine momma warned you about. Solid details beyond those scant specs are still scarce at the moment. It’s unclear exactly which markets will get the joy of calling the Nuda 900R their very own or how much the bike will cost when lands.

Chances are this creation will have an easy time locking horns with the likes of the Ducati Multistrada in the canyons and on quick commutes. Like the Italian, this Husky rocks few fairings and plenty of suspension travel – just our cup of tea.

However, the new model still manages to keep the supermoto flavor while drawing its power from the modified BMW 900cc parallel twin-cylinder engine developed particularly for it.
Husqvarna Nuda 900R Specs

Despite the fact the official power output figures are undisclosed, rumors have it it’s in the 100hp range, which means it could go head-to-head with naked sportbikes such as Yamaha FZ8, Suzuki GSR 750, Kawasaki Z750R, or Triumph’s Street Triple R.

Styling wise, we see the Husqvarna-like paint scheme comprising the red-black-white colors, streamlined tail and a small tank, as well as a angular design, which were also visible in the design sketches revealed a month ago. However, the photos released by the company so far indicate there are still some more tweaks left to be made, as the bike lacks elements such as signal lights, mirrors or number plate holder.

And since the Nuda 900R also takes the frame and swingarm from BMW, it could be seen as an extremely tuned version of the F800GS. Dry weight is claimed to be below 175 kg (385 lbs), so we could look at a whole lot of fun on two wheels. But for the moment, market availability and pricing are surrounded by a mystery aura, which we expect to be lifted at the forthcoming EICMA Show in Milan this November.
