During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.
