2007 TE450

2020 Siberian ;)

And the newest edition to the family - a 2025 Norden 901 Expedition

Thanks to @Lightcycle for the info he provided me pre-purchase... he warned me about his wife's build quality issues but nothing he said scared me off of it, but I'll pay close attention to making sure all bolts remain secured ;)

Last fuel injected bike I owned was my '01 929 Fireblade... looking forward to not having to clean carbs on this one ;)

Now that I have a bike more suitable for highway jaunts perhaps I'll be able to more easily attend some BurgerRR meetups this year finally!
 
Who's that cutie in the middle there? Thats gotta be your favourite out of all 3 💯


Nice ride - someone told me that the Husky symbol was supposed to represent some sort of sighted/scope or crown or something..

Hah - that's Bo in the middle... and yes, he's still my fav ;)

Adam from Studio Cycle who sold me the bike (great experience, thanks Adam!!) told me Husqvarna used to sell rifles, and that's supposed to represent iron sights. Not sure if it's true or not, but sounds reasonable - first time I had heard that too.

Congrats on the new bike. It looks nice.

Some of the manufacturer crossover stuff is unexpected. I have a Mauser micrometer on my desk as apparently they weren't allowed to make guns for a bit after WW2 so they started cranking out tools.
 
Nice herd. I think the one in the middle gives the best fuel for fun ratio of the three. Congrats on the beauties.

Good to know about the Husky symbol, I always thought it was odd as it looked like a cross section of a tire on a rim.
 
The original Husqvarna was making guns for Sweden but that's like muskets and stuff. The motorcycle division have been sold and sold again. It's KTM right now but BMW was the owner just before. Though you can say that KTM got bought so it's Bajaj now.

Congrats! FWIW my buddy has the 890R and has beaten the ever living crap out of it and nothing's broken yet.
Other than a hose clamp not tightened enough from the factory (known issue) my 1290R's been bulletproof as well. I've taken both the 890 and 1290 around a proper motocross track as well.
