the Norden ’ s seat height fine in the standard position for tall riders . It will probably by challengingly high for short riders though , but not KTM 890 Adventure R high though . A lowering kit is available from Husqvarna , which drops the seat height by 22mm .
THE LOW DOWN Overall , the Husqvarna Norden 901 really impressed me . I ’ m sure many riders currently
riding an 890 Adventure R would be far happier on the Norden - if their egos allowed - because it ’ s less hard-edged , more civilised and a more pleasant bike to ride all day in most conditions . The Norden 901 will be popular among the adventure tourer crowd looking for something different but very capable . It ’ s definitely going to be a crowd pleaser .
