I thought we should have a new thread for the production 900. I think it is awesome. nice blend of 449/511 and 630 styling...
Looks light and nimble. 2 piece ,2 level front fender is different. Wonder how well it would travel for a road trip?
I like it. Not crazy about the name though. At least it doesn't have "Nuda" stickers all over it. I'll sell my Duc Hypermotard S for one of these when they become available in the USA.
This is a "marmite" bike (uk joke) , you will either love it or hate it ! Personally I think its the ugliest thing I have ever seen !!! I Would have prefered to have seen the Engineers get the TE/TC range sorted before they "branch" out . But good luck to them !
Nuda? Seriously? Are they going to call the handlebars tits? "So you get on top and grab hold of the tits. If you twist the nipple here, she starts to go. If she bucks too much, you need to work this other nipple over here..." My apologies if that is a little too blunt...
These minimalist side numberplates are out of control. Where am I going to put my hare scramble numbers?!?!?!?!?!?
If I were looking for a street bike right now it would be a tossup between this and the Ducati Streetfighter.
That's a nice but mild mannered video clip. Wheelies are good but they need to get a video done with one of their pro supermoto racers hacking that bike sideways into a turn, exiting with a tire smoking power slide. That would generate some excitement, kind of like what Ducati/Ruben Xaus did during the Hypermotard debut a few years back.
I like it! I have always like the naked street bikes the best. To bad they didn't do the exhaust tip in the gun sight like the 630 Arrow's. A nice red Husky H/gunsight sticker would look nice up under the tail AND the front fender.
