I asked a couple of questions on the ADVrider forum if there was anything I should cover or they liked me to focus on. Well, I hope I got some of the answers covered in this little preview 🔥
Thank you Thomas for your TH-cam videos and insights to the Norwegian travel/camping culture. Please let the amok guys know that I bought a 5.0 because of you. Your videos of Norwegian roads/geography are bar 🍸 none the best I've seen on the internet. If I can find a way to ride in Norway, I would really like it if I could spend a day or two with you so you can show me the beauty of Norways west coast. Take care and ride on, Roger
Wow, thank you Roger 👏🏻 I really appreciate that 🎉 I will make sure to let the people at AMOK know about that 😉 I normally stop and say hallo to people when I'm out riding or if they are close by where I live. Make sure to let me know when you are in Norway and let's see what we can make of it. Have a great Holliday and Merry Christmas
@@tshansen i live in British Columbia, Canada now and i have realisez what i missed when living in Sweden. We always traveled south and thought that the alps where the best roads in europe. You have shown that Norway bests the alps in roads and scenery. Thank you, Roger
Thank you Tjommi… this was in the last hour to say.. got a late message the night before and trying to figure out what and how to do it. My kid had to go to the emergency room (broken finger) and it was a really tight call to make it happen in so short time and notice 😇
@@tshansen Ohh, hope Jr is ok after all. I mailed my closest Husqvarna dealer a month ago and did not get a precise date and no call back 👀 Had a plan to check it out. May fix that anyway some time, right now there are plans for every day 😂.
Yeah, nothing broken! Just a hard way of learning some facts of how some door works 🤣🙈 i sent a Mail the other day, asking about the new dessert x 🤩 i’m coming to sweden in may next year 😇👏🏻
I went to my local dealer and they had the 901 too - It was much smaller than I had anticipated (compared to my 701 enduro). I found it wide in the front as well, but I really liked the centre of gravity (from sitting on it) compared to my previous bike, the T7. Can’t wait to ride it in the spring!
Yeah, I had that same feeling myself. It felt like mye 790, but still smaller in a way. I think it is part of the front fender missing and the lower seat. The 701 is a great bike, but a pain to ride on long adventures. I had the 690 🤣 Where are you located in Norway?
@@tshansen I’m coming from a DRZ, so the 701 will be awesome for long trips 😅 Holder til i Kristiansand - vi har snakket såvidt tidligere, men skjønner det er vanskelig å holde kontrollen, sliter med det selv og jeg driver i langt mindre skala.

Thank you Sir 👏🏻 Appreciate that, yes I see a lot of people talking abut this bike, showing footage from the Husqvarna official videos and for me that has little to no value. I prefer to talk about what I see and compare it to my last bike. Cheers 🔥
Dear Thomas, Thank you very much for your comments. I'm 197 cm so i understand about the ergonomics and I believe that the seat can also be mounted about 3 cm higher in a similar way to the Guzzi Stelvio. When the weather warms up here in Ontario, Canada I plan to try this and the Aprillia as well and compare the 2 for my next bike. Which do you feel has the best ergonomics for someone your height with really long arms and legs? Best regards, Niall Leslie.
Hello Niall 🔥 I see a lot of people report that you can lift the seat, but i did not manage to see how it’s done when i was down at the dealer. I would like to try the new Triumph, dessert x from Ducati and yes the Aprillia and the new T7 from Yamaha. When it comes to ergonomics it is really hard to tell. I know what my body and my driving style prefers. And i know it differs a lot from what other people tend to like when they are riding. I think everyone just need to adjust the bike and see for them self. Cheers
These subtle differences between KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas makes the Pierer group smile. Hope they addressed some quality problems as well ;-) Thans for pointing out what changes will be needed on the Norden 901. Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
I wish they spent more time correcting the issues from the 790/890 to be honest. It pains me to see they ignore this with a new product, even if it's the same bike with new plastic. It makes me wonder 🤭 Cheers
@@tshansen I find KTM/Husky very nice bikes to ride. Even have a good local dealer. But I'm used to Japanese bike quality. Bikes have to run when I want fun ;-) Although - I find the upcoming KTM 490 twin a very attractive idea. Lighter than my Transalp 600, more power than my Beta Alp 200. I'd rather have civilized 150 kg Enduro than a GS, but that's only my preference. Maybe I'm a future buyer. Cheers, Günter
Thanks for the quick review 👍🏻. Looks really nice, did you try it with the seat in the highest setting? My OCD is finding it very difficult to cope with the yellow part no lining up 😵💫 when the seat is set higher though 😄. I really like it though, might be a 2023 bike for me, so would go for the heated seat which is black with yellow stitching. I’m 182 cm tall so would lower the footrest a cm or 2, put barkbusters on, centre stand, heated grips and a NAV mount above the dash. Some soft luggage and Norden, here I come 😄.
I don't think that seat was possible to adjust up? in that case I missed it? Haha, thank you... my OCD did not notice before you said it....damn 🙈 Yeah I was really surprised how good it looks IRL. really nice design with everything we hate and love from KTM. Hope to test ride it when the spring arrives. If you going for heated grips, go with Oxford...trust me (guess how I know) 👏🏻 Cheers mate, and thank you so much for the coffee.. I can't thank you enough for the support. It is really amazing. ❤️
@@tshansen It’s just a dream at the mo, my T7 RE will have to suffice for another year (its a great bike anyway, would just like cruise control and tubeless wheels on my next bike). Yamaha heated grips are rubbish too 😉 😄
Nice vid👍 you cover the right details I would also look for, like the quality feel of the different parts. Great filming and nice intro! Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you mate.... Yeah, it was kinda in the last hour making this... so I asked around on the ADVrider forum what they would like me to focus on. Made the first preview of the bike much easier 😉 Have a great weekend mate, cheers
(Har bestilt, blir en brå overgang til en så tech-speccet sykkel fra hva jeg er vant til..) Hva tenker du om radiatorbeskyttelsen? God nok stock eller bør en gå på en liten oppgradering?
Well, there will not be a detailed review of the Norden. This is not a bike I will buy or use to much time on. It is the exact same bike as the 790/890, so there should be a lot of info on it online 🤩 The Yamaha Ténéré 700 WORLD RAID on the other hand 😇
Thank you... yeah I own the orange brother to this bike. It is the same bike just in other wrappings. So I know what is know to be weak parts for this specific bike and intended use 🙈 thank you, the tattoo is a sleeve and I'm planing to get my other arm done as well 🙈 one day 🔥
That’s the one Thomas, suit’s you. 😉 You must be due a new bike sometime soon, a few necessary mods like hand guards, lowered foot pegs and a beefier sump guard. Brother and I really like the Norden, could be future bikes, if and when funds allow.
Hahaha, well... I really liked it, but it is to similar to the one I already have. Maybe I will look at other brands the next year. There is many cool things on the horizon now. And I can't wait to see what BMW has up their sleve 😉 I'm always in the mood for a new bike, but I don't change if I can't find anything that is better than what I have today 🔥 If you get a Norden, you know where you need to ride it 😉🇳🇴
@@tshansen I know what you mean with the Norden and your 790, although it does have the updated 890 improvements. BMW are very quite at the moment, thought they would’ve shown the completely new GS by now! Just seen the new Ducati DesertX, now that does look amazing, they have done a great job with it. Brother and I are really keen to get to Norway, can’t say when it might be, but it would be dream come true, if it happen in 2022, and would be pretty special to meet you Thomas. 🇬🇧🇳🇴 Until then, we will continue to look forward to your great videos, enjoy your coffee. 😉👍
I like how Husqvarna stuck with the same family theme. There's little things like the headlight and tail light and fuel filler cap that look very similar to those on my Svartpilen 401. A great looking bike. Lowering the pegs or raising the bars... What would be best do you think? More to the point - how did it come to market like that?
I think they have done a clever job with the design and keeping it true to their old bikes, even tho it something new. For me, lowering the pegs, without a doubt. Raising the bar to high makes the front feel strange (not quite sure how to explain it) And you don't sacrifice any ground clearance with lowering the pegs 1-2 cm 🔥 I'm not sure what you mean about come to market like that?
@@tshansen I just meant that as it's an adventure bike, should Husqvarna/KTM not have expected people to stand on the pegs occasionally and taken the ergonomics more into account.
@@CampbellZeroOne That is a solid question... but I think they go with one one size when they measure this, and gives room for people to adjust for their needs.
Hej. Jag har kört Norden 901. Trevlig Motorcykel. Men skulle varit outstanding ifall den hade Ktm R fjädring. Men till frågan. Jag är också ganska lång. Vad har du för lägre fotpinnar till din 790R? Ska testa en 890R igen, tror man får mer för pengarna med bättre fjädring. / Ola
Hei Ola... ja jeg hører at salen er mye bedre på Norden (for noen) men de fleste reagerer på fjøringen. Jeg har "lower fotpegs" fra RadeGARAGE. De er omtrent 1.5cm lavere enn original, også har jeg hevet styret litt med KTM sine originale styre hevere 🔥
@@tshansen tack för svar. RadeGarage fotpinnar ser väldigt bra ut. Liknar dom jag kör med på min KTM450SXF (Motocross) sköna pinnar. Efter jag provat 790/890Adv/Norden känns alla andra motorcyklar Topheavy. Vilken underbar Motorcykel. Ha en bra Söndag / Ola Ps. Längtar efter att få se fler av dina härliga äventyr som verkligen inspirerar. Fantastiskt filmat också. Ds
Ja, jeg er veldig fornøyd med rade garage fotpinnene! Skoen sitter veldig godt uten fare for å skli av. Hyggelig at du liker innholdet jeg lager! Det kommer mye mer i tiden framover 😇🤩🔥
I was really surprised by the looks IRL... I can't imagine it is that far from the one I already own. So for me this is not a upgrade in anyway. Just plastic. So I will stick to my 790 a little while longer....or will I 🙈🤣
But what I think all in all quite a good bike from stock? You’re right some things need to be replaced because it’s not tough enough. For me I think it is my future bike for travels and I say bye bye to my Versys 🤙🏻
Yes, without a doubt... I'm just referring to some adv questions I got from the advrider forum. And the two things I would change for my use is the hand guards and skid plate. I would also put on a headlight protector 😉 Oi oi, you are trading in your trysted green rocket?
@@tshansen yes cause I don’t need two bikes so the Kawasaki will go away. I had a good time with her and enjoyed travelling with the heavy green rocket. Looking forward to something more rugged and lighter for travels.
I downgraded from the GSA my self a couple of years back, and I have to say. I have not regret it one bit. But it all comes down to how you use the bike. Cheers
Thomas, awesome little review. I had a deposit in Dec on a 901 but gave up and got my 890R in Jan 2021. I'm curious about the wind screen and the whole buffeting thing as I have really struggled with my 890R but have finally found a solution with the MadStad screen. Are you shooting with a new camera? Merry Christmas and a Brappy NewYear from Canada.
I think alot of people gave up on waiting for this bike. It took ages for it to come out to be honest. There is no chance to ride it here yet, so I could not tell if the windscreen is better or worse. But comparing the footage to the cover where I have mounted my gps, it looks like the top of the windscreen are the same as the 890 in the lowest position. Yes, this was shot with my new Sony a7s iii.... got to love steady shot 🔥 And the lighting was really difficult, but the 10 bit color made it easy to adjust in post. Merry Christmas mate, hope you are well. And a happy new year 🎉
@@tshansen I knew it! I'm trying to decide between the A7S iii and the FX3. I'm thinking smaller more moto friendly as I build my travel kit. I can also pack the smallest gimbal with the FX3. I have not pulled the shutter yet! What lenses did you buy? Prost!
@@jamesprecious1035 Haha, it is a huge step up in quality. The 4K footage from this camera is crazy 🙈 I heard some issues with saving custom buttons or custom setup for the camera. Not sure if this is fixed in a upgrade on the FX3. It is more or less the exact same camera. But I do some photo work as well, so for me it was not a option for anything else than the a7s iii 🔥 But the FX3 with the grip and audio... damn it is a great package. Some would probably debate this, but I picked the best do it all lense because of my budget. The sony FE 4 / 24-105 G OSS I'm blown away by this lense and for that price... for my use. Incredible. Butt I will probably invest in some more glass next year when I'm on a new budget 🙈🎥
@@tshansen yes i have gone back and forth on the photo subject but I think one can adapt and take photos as well on theFX3. You just have to get used to the lack of a view finder. I was looking at the A7C and the A74 but I want the best video quality 4K60 without crop and neither of those can do it. Also the rolling shutter thing. So now I have to decide... 1st world problems.. Good choice on the lens.
@@jamesprecious1035 Yeah, there is no problem taking pictures with the FX3… it is cool that you have so similar cameras but still so different. You can spec it for your needs and still have that incredible sensor. I did not think i would use the 120fps so much, but holy moly what a huge difference it makes in stability stuff and combined with gimbal… perfect. I needed a do it all lense, and now I’m looking at a longer zoom so i can get some of those smooth timelapses
Another great video. Dealer called me on the 6th and said I should have mine 901 about Christmas time. No 901's on the show room floor as of yet. I live in Colorado, USA. Could you tell if the Aux lights are a running light or a driving light ? Greg
Hello Greg, so you have ordered one? Congrats. It looks amazing. The AUX or fog light you turn on or of with a button on the left side of the TFT display. Not sure if I had it in the final edit. You see the charging socket, but on the opposite site.
@@tshansen Not sure how to clarify what I think the difference between a fog light and a driving light, but here I go. Fog lights are bright and light up an area close to the bike. A driving light is more like a high beam that shines 40 to 50 feet in front of you. I find that you can out run a fog light at 70 mph where as with a driving light you can hit warp speed and the beam of light is still out in front of you like your high beams. Hope that makes sense.
@@ibhandlebar yes, it is me who use fog lights wrong... it is more like extra lights for the side of the road when riding in dark areas from what I understand on this bike. Just my English that is crap 🤣
@@tshansen There is a company here in the US that is dieing to get their hands on the 901. They are looking at making a driving light to replace the stock Aux light. They make all kinds of lights and head light bulbs. (Cyclopes Adventure Sports) Greg
Dear Greg, With respect: The auxiliary lights appeared to be driving lights. The correct beam patterns are as follows: Driving lights = high beam / Fog lights = low beam with a sharp cutoff along the top of the beam to minimize back light reflection from fog, rain and snow / Running lights = weak high beam / Spot lights = concentrated high beam without much lateral or vertical spread. Best regards, Niall Leslie.
Thomas I can see you on the new Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, that Khaki green and white bike look awesome, and I think it would bring new interest to you channel. Bit expensive admittedly, but if you’ve been thinking about a change, this could well get more subscribers to your excellent channel. I originally found you, when I was looking at the KTM 790 Rally, I’m sure many others may well of found you under similar circumstances. Even though I’m not in the market for a Triumph, as a motorcycle enthusiast, I’ll watch anything about motorcycles(within reason 😉 ). Whatever you may decide or not, still interesting when you do a preview of new bikes, and hope test rides. 👍
It is a long winter, and I will take a hard look at all the new candidates this year. I'm in no rush or need of changing but it's always nice with something new. I will not change bike to gain more views or followers, I rather stick to my regular crowd and concentrate on making better content and better storys instead 😇🎥 But I do think that most of my viewers come because of my KTM and some of my equipment. That is just the way this game is. I'm not the most relaxed and easy listening in front of the camera, so I think I will always try to focus more on great storys etc. 😉 A a Norwegian, my English can only be medium good 🤣
I had a look at a Norden this week at the motorcycle show in Birmingham. I much prefer the look of it to the KTM 890, but it was not getting much interest at the show. If I was looking for an adventure bike in this capacity (which I'm not) then I would certainly test ride one, and it will be interesting to see how many are sold in the UK over the next 12 months.
Well.... I'm not sure I like it better than the KTM, but I love how it is different. It looks really good from the side with this look (IMO) I think this is a perfect in-between the KTM range of bikes. It is good times for people who want a new bike these days. Love the new Ducati as well 🔥
@@tshansen The Ducati's don't do it for me, I can't seem to get all their sports bikes (which I love) out of my field of perspective. The Triumph's are all impressive, but we already had that conversation. I find the Africa Twin intimidating, and I am a similar height to you. I am not sure why the Norden was not getting more attention, maybe I was just passing at a quiet time, or maybe all the ADV riders were too busy looking at the Tiger 1200's.
@@neilmackinnon3371 I thought the same at the NEC show. The bike was almost at the back of the stand as if it had been out for years. You would think they would have it at the front 🤷 most people didn't seem to notice it. I only saw it because I made a point of looking for it. Lovely bike if feeling a bit small for me. Do also like the 890 Adventure R though.
@@tshansen BTW.....I saw you today on Anna Grechishkina channel, I guess was nice to have a chat between KTM's lovers with 3 generations of bikes there!!! Take care !!
hey, thx for your great contributions... listen, I am planning a major trip on my Road King to Norway coming season... is there a chance to contact you via eMail or any other platform? Warm regards from Amman
Haha, no I will stick with my 790 a while longer (I think) the Norden is the same bike in every aspect, so it's not a real upgrade. But you have a new Ducati I like, and maybe a triumph? or maybe something new from BMW 🤣
Hello Thomas I plan to travel with my motorbike in July and my destination will be Norway...can you kindly tell me how can i contact you cause I have couple of questions concerning my planning.....thanks a lot and wish you a nice weekend
It is a beautiful bike. The competition is hard now in that class of 700 to 900 ccm adventure bikes :-) Did we ask for those heavy and expensive beasts? I am still missing those alternatives below 700 ccm which is light, cheap but still comfortable and not underpowered...maybe too much to ask for :-)
Yeah, the competition is really hard these days. I feel like the trend is this segment now and all the brand are terrified to loose ground to the competition. I don't think we will see really powered bikes in the low ccm market before there is a drastic change in consumer trends? 🤔
Video already? Wow, you are really in high speed production mode these days 😊 It is definitely a bike that has a different look compared to others, and that might not be a bad thing at all. I think however I might have liked it more if it had a high front fender, something is just missing in the front 🤔
Yeah, can't say no to a challenge 🤣 I did look under the front, but it did not look like you could mount the KTM high fender directly on it. I may be mistaken. I love the high fender as well 🔥
@@d.balabastark7462 It the one from the KTM 890 or what? Would have loved to see a fender that was "tailor made" to the bike and complemented the overall design.
@@kihestad , I'm not sure if it's gonna be the same as the one for the KTM. Anyway, if so, that "kit" can be mounted, and then the fender can be swaped for another one (universal), more elegant, like the Polisport Supermotard. May be some drilling have to be made in the fender to adapt it, but that takes just a minute.
I can't wait to see the desert x my self. I think that looks really good also. I just sent a email to the Norwegian dealer and asked when they will have one to take a look at.
I'm not sure about the taller screen... I rater have the wind hitting under the helmet (chest) than on my helmet and create bad turbulence? Lower footpegs are a must for tall riders, and bar raisers I'm not sure is necessary. It' all down to feel and like 👏🏻
@@tshansen Thanks , its coming in January , first time in decades my garage hasnt had at least 1 bike in it , had a 1090r i just sold , '17 w/30k/miles id bought new in 17
@@justsomedude445 worst feeling in the world, not to have a bike in the garage but it will make the wait so much better. Can you ride in winter where you live?
Nicely done the weight are 204 kg / 449.7 lb dry but who can ride a bike. dry with a full tank the bike has the same weight as a standard Africa twin so it is a rather heavy bike.
Hahaha, yeah.... I hate to admit it, but I fear the same things. I was a little bit disappointed they did not fix the headlight bolts on this compared to the 790/890 etc. We have to see how big problem it will be.
Well, this is interesting looking bike (just not sure how much KTM tech in it 90%?). But I wait for Honda CRF 850 Africa Twin "Transalp". I gues it will be between T7 and KTM 890 Adventure in price, just unknown as riding experience of it.
It is a really interesting looking bike, I have to agree... I did not think I would like it as much as I did when first looking at pictures of it. It looks like KTM with different plastic and lights to be honest. I would love to see a new T7 with beefy suspension and just a tiny more horsepower. Exiting times 🔥
Heisan kvase 🔥👏🏻 Nei jeg har ikke bestemt meg helt enda, jeg syntes den nye fra Yamaha var meget fristende, fikk tilbud på dessert x, den ble alt for dyr! (225.000) 😩
@@cantero2bjornes For meg er noe "nytt" fra KTM eller Husky uaktuelt, da beholder jeg heller den jeg har. Det er jo billigste løsningen... Siden jeg også kikker på bobil/camper... er kanskje det beste å la leken med ny sykkel ligge noen år til 🙈
@@tshansen Ser den å er litt i samme båt ser og lyster men har ikke helt bestemt hvem vei jeg går i løpet av året mulig jeg sitter 1 år til med 1290S som jeg har pr dags dato
Strange that no mc maker can make good handguards? it is plastic what help wil that do if you crash down on the side or some with the mc? nada also the skidplates under the engine is cheap thin aluminium who is bad too.
An overall good looking bike, except the silly round retro styled headlight, it seems to be a trend for 2022 for a few differend brands, I'd even go as far as to say that even if it was the best bike ever built, that headlight alone would stop me from buying it.
It did not feel cramped at all, but a little bit higher seat and lower footpegs it will be the same as my 790, and I’m really comfortable on that bike 🔥

Dear Thomas,
Thank you very much for your comments.
I'm 197 cm so i understand about the ergonomics and I believe that the seat can also be mounted about 3 cm higher in a similar way to the Guzzi Stelvio.
When the weather warms up here in Ontario, Canada I plan to try this and the Aprillia as well and compare the 2 for my next bike.
Which do you feel has the best ergonomics for someone your height with really long arms and legs?
Best regards,
Niall Leslie.
Hello Niall 🔥
I see a lot of people report that you can lift the seat, but i did not manage to see how it’s done when i was down at the dealer. I would like to try the new Triumph, dessert x from Ducati and yes the Aprillia and the new T7 from Yamaha. When it comes to ergonomics it is really hard to tell. I know what my body and my driving style prefers. And i know it differs a lot from what other people tend to like when they are riding. I think everyone just need to adjust the bike and see for them self. Cheers
These subtle differences between KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas makes the Pierer group smile. Hope they addressed some quality problems as well ;-)
Thans for pointing out what changes will be needed on the Norden 901.
Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
I wish they spent more time correcting the issues from the 790/890 to be honest. It pains me to see they ignore this with a new product, even if it's the same bike with new plastic. It makes me wonder 🤭 Cheers
@@tshansen I find KTM/Husky very nice bikes to ride. Even have a good local dealer. But I'm used to Japanese bike quality. Bikes have to run when I want fun ;-)
Although - I find the upcoming KTM 490 twin a very attractive idea. Lighter than my Transalp 600, more power than my Beta Alp 200. I'd rather have civilized 150 kg Enduro than a GS, but that's only my preference.
Maybe I'm a future buyer. Cheers, Günter
Thank you for answering all our questions , mate!!
You are welcome, thank you for asking me questions I could work with. Helped a lot 👏🏻
Thanks for the quick review 👍🏻. Looks really nice, did you try it with the seat in the highest setting? My OCD is finding it very difficult to cope with the yellow part no lining up 😵💫 when the seat is set higher though 😄. I really like it though, might be a 2023 bike for me, so would go for the heated seat which is black with yellow stitching. I’m 182 cm tall so would lower the footrest a cm or 2, put barkbusters on, centre stand, heated grips and a NAV mount above the dash. Some soft luggage and Norden, here I come 😄.
I don't think that seat was possible to adjust up? in that case I missed it? Haha, thank you... my OCD did not notice before you said it....damn 🙈 Yeah I was really surprised how good it looks IRL. really nice design with everything we hate and love from KTM. Hope to test ride it when the spring arrives. If you going for heated grips, go with Oxford...trust me (guess how I know) 👏🏻 Cheers mate, and thank you so much for the coffee.. I can't thank you enough for the support. It is really amazing. ❤️
@@tshansen
It’s just a dream at the mo, my T7 RE will have to suffice for another year (its a great bike anyway, would just like cruise control and tubeless wheels on my next bike). Yamaha heated grips are rubbish too 😉 😄
@@tshansen you can adjust it as on the ktm :)
@@NiklasAdv Thank you for pointing this out, I need to go down and take a closer look again 👏🏻
Nice vid👍 you cover the right details I would also look for, like the quality feel of the different parts. Great filming and nice intro! Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you mate.... Yeah, it was kinda in the last hour making this... so I asked around on the ADVrider forum what they would like me to focus on. Made the first preview of the bike much easier 😉 Have a great weekend mate, cheers
Nice looking machine!
Can’t wait to Test ride it
Yeah, I hope they have a demo bike of it when the spring arrives here in Norway. Couple of more months without riding still here.
Thats a nice looking bike!
I agree 👏🏻
(Har bestilt, blir en brå overgang til en så tech-speccet sykkel fra hva jeg er vant til..)
Hva tenker du om radiatorbeskyttelsen? God nok stock eller bør en gå på en liten oppgradering?
Jeg har radiator beskyttelse på min, så jeg hadde bestilt det igjen om jeg kjøpte denne ny 👏🏻
I want one 🤩
I can see why 😉 It's a great bike.
Looking forward for more detailed review
Well, there will not be a detailed review of the Norden. This is not a bike I will buy or use to much time on. It is the exact same bike as the 790/890, so there should be a lot of info on it online 🤩 The Yamaha Ténéré 700 WORLD RAID on the other hand 😇
@@tshansen ok fine thanks 😊
Beautiful videography opening. 🙂
You're very particular when you're describing how you would change the bike. 👍
Nice tattoo, by the way!
Thank you... yeah I own the orange brother to this bike. It is the same bike just in other wrappings. So I know what is know to be weak parts for this specific bike and intended use 🙈 thank you, the tattoo is a sleeve and I'm planing to get my other arm done as well 🙈 one day 🔥
Norden is a very nice Bike 💪👍👀
ADV Power ✅ thank you and biker greetings from Germany!
It truly is... and it looks really nice in real life. You are welcome mate. Cheers 🔥
That’s the one Thomas, suit’s you. 😉 You must be due a new bike sometime soon, a few necessary mods like hand guards, lowered foot pegs and a beefier sump guard. Brother and I really like the Norden, could be future bikes, if and when funds allow.
Hahaha, well... I really liked it, but it is to similar to the one I already have. Maybe I will look at other brands the next year. There is many cool things on the horizon now. And I can't wait to see what BMW has up their sleve 😉 I'm always in the mood for a new bike, but I don't change if I can't find anything that is better than what I have today 🔥 If you get a Norden, you know where you need to ride it 😉🇳🇴
@@tshansen I know what you mean with the Norden and your 790, although it does have the updated 890 improvements. BMW are very quite at the moment, thought they would’ve shown the completely new GS by now! Just seen the new Ducati DesertX, now that does look amazing, they have done a great job with it. Brother and I are really keen to get to Norway, can’t say when it might be, but it would be dream come true, if it happen in 2022, and would be pretty special to meet you Thomas. 🇬🇧🇳🇴 Until then, we will continue to look forward to your great videos, enjoy your coffee. 😉👍
Is the yellow stripe on the tank/fairing a sticker or painted on? Thanks
Yes it feels like that when i rubb the hand over it
I like how Husqvarna stuck with the same family theme. There's little things like the headlight and tail light and fuel filler cap that look very similar to those on my Svartpilen 401. A great looking bike. Lowering the pegs or raising the bars... What would be best do you think? More to the point - how did it come to market like that?
I think they have done a clever job with the design and keeping it true to their old bikes, even tho it something new. For me, lowering the pegs, without a doubt. Raising the bar to high makes the front feel strange (not quite sure how to explain it) And you don't sacrifice any ground clearance with lowering the pegs 1-2 cm 🔥 I'm not sure what you mean about come to market like that?
@@tshansen I just meant that as it's an adventure bike, should Husqvarna/KTM not have expected people to stand on the pegs occasionally and taken the ergonomics more into account.
@@CampbellZeroOne That is a solid question... but I think they go with one one size when they measure this, and gives room for people to adjust for their needs.
Good review Thomas , must admit it is definitely growing on me 🤔
Stay safe and well 👍👌👊
Thank you sir, yeah… it really grows on me as well. Wonder how this will look when people get creative with the decals and updates 😊
@@tshansen yeah definitely could look amazing when people get creative 🤔
Aftermarket brakes may be an option
Take care 👌👍
Awesome Optic! Finally something outstanding and beautiful and it doesnt look like a GS. ;)
Hahaha... yeah, this is probably the longest away from a BMW you can come 🤣
Hej.
Jag har kört Norden 901. Trevlig Motorcykel. Men skulle varit outstanding ifall den hade Ktm R fjädring.
Men till frågan.
Jag är också ganska lång. Vad har du för lägre fotpinnar till din 790R?
Ska testa en 890R igen, tror man får mer för pengarna med bättre fjädring.
/ Ola
Hei Ola... ja jeg hører at salen er mye bedre på Norden (for noen) men de fleste reagerer på fjøringen.
Jeg har "lower fotpegs" fra RadeGARAGE. De er omtrent 1.5cm lavere enn original, også har jeg hevet styret litt med KTM sine originale styre hevere 🔥
@@tshansen tack för svar.
RadeGarage fotpinnar ser väldigt bra ut. Liknar dom jag kör med på min KTM450SXF (Motocross) sköna pinnar.
Efter jag provat 790/890Adv/Norden känns alla andra motorcyklar Topheavy. Vilken underbar Motorcykel.
Ha en bra Söndag / Ola
Ps. Längtar efter att få se fler av dina härliga äventyr som verkligen inspirerar. Fantastiskt filmat också. Ds
Ja, jeg er veldig fornøyd med rade garage fotpinnene! Skoen sitter veldig godt uten fare for å skli av. Hyggelig at du liker innholdet jeg lager! Det kommer mye mer i tiden framover 😇🤩🔥
So all I need to know now is where to get some Norden spotlights that I can fit on my 790R 🤩
I bet you find them in the Husqvarna catalog 😉
Very good looking bike 😉🤘
Yes indeed 🔥
Interesting 🤔
Looks like a great bike… what’s it like to ride tho…?
Think I will stick to my T7 for a while longer anyway 😎
I was really surprised by the looks IRL... I can't imagine it is that far from the one I already own. So for me this is not a upgrade in anyway. Just plastic. So I will stick to my 790 a little while longer....or will I 🙈🤣
But what I think all in all quite a good bike from stock? You’re right some things need to be replaced because it’s not tough enough. For me I think it is my future bike for travels and I say bye bye to my Versys 🤙🏻
Yes, without a doubt... I'm just referring to some adv questions I got from the advrider forum. And the two things I would change for my use is the hand guards and skid plate. I would also put on a headlight protector 😉 Oi oi, you are trading in your trysted green rocket?
@@tshansen yes cause I don’t need two bikes so the Kawasaki will go away. I had a good time with her and enjoyed travelling with the heavy green rocket. Looking forward to something more rugged and lighter for travels.
Looking to downsize from my GSA, one on the list…
I downgraded from the GSA my self a couple of years back, and I have to say. I have not regret it one bit. But it all comes down to how you use the bike. Cheers
Kjekk liten video Thomas. Er denne under vurdering?
Nei, den er nok for mye samme sykkel som jeg allerede har, blir nok ikke å oppgradere til denne 😉 selv om det hadde vært spennende med noe nytt
Thomas, awesome little review. I had a deposit in Dec on a 901 but gave up and got my 890R in Jan 2021. I'm curious about the wind screen and the whole buffeting thing as I have really struggled with my 890R but have finally found a solution with the MadStad screen. Are you shooting with a new camera? Merry Christmas and a Brappy NewYear from Canada.
I think alot of people gave up on waiting for this bike. It took ages for it to come out to be honest. There is no chance to ride it here yet, so I could not tell if the windscreen is better or worse. But comparing the footage to the cover where I have mounted my gps, it looks like the top of the windscreen are the same as the 890 in the lowest position.
Yes, this was shot with my new Sony a7s iii.... got to love steady shot 🔥 And the lighting was really difficult, but the 10 bit color made it easy to adjust in post. Merry Christmas mate, hope you are well. And a happy new year 🎉
@@tshansen I knew it! I'm trying to decide between the A7S iii and the FX3. I'm thinking smaller more moto friendly as I build my travel kit. I can also pack the smallest gimbal with the FX3. I have not pulled the shutter yet! What lenses did you buy? Prost!
@@jamesprecious1035 Haha, it is a huge step up in quality. The 4K footage from this camera is crazy 🙈 I heard some issues with saving custom buttons or custom setup for the camera. Not sure if this is fixed in a upgrade on the FX3. It is more or less the exact same camera. But I do some photo work as well, so for me it was not a option for anything else than the a7s iii 🔥 But the FX3 with the grip and audio... damn it is a great package. Some would probably debate this, but I picked the best do it all lense because of my budget. The sony FE 4 / 24-105 G OSS I'm blown away by this lense and for that price... for my use. Incredible. Butt I will probably invest in some more glass next year when I'm on a new budget 🙈🎥
@@tshansen yes i have gone back and forth on the photo subject but I think one can adapt and take photos as well on theFX3. You just have to get used to the lack of a view finder. I was looking at the A7C and the A74 but I want the best video quality 4K60 without crop and neither of those can do it. Also the rolling shutter thing. So now I have to decide... 1st world problems.. Good choice on the lens.
@@jamesprecious1035 Yeah, there is no problem taking pictures with the FX3… it is cool that you have so similar cameras but still so different. You can spec it for your needs and still have that incredible sensor. I did not think i would use the 120fps so much, but holy moly what a huge difference it makes in stability stuff and combined with gimbal… perfect. I needed a do it all lense, and now I’m looking at a longer zoom so i can get some of those smooth timelapses
Has the footpeg connection to the frame/engine been improved over the 890?
No... it is the same as on the 790/890 ( I would have noticed if not)
Another great video. Dealer called me on the 6th and said I should have mine 901 about Christmas time. No 901's on the show room floor as of yet. I live in Colorado, USA.
Could you tell if the Aux lights are a running light or a driving light ?
Greg
Hello Greg, so you have ordered one? Congrats. It looks amazing. The AUX or fog light you turn on or of with a button on the left side of the TFT display. Not sure if I had it in the final edit. You see the charging socket, but on the opposite site.
@@tshansen Not sure how to clarify what I think the difference between a fog light and a driving light, but here I go. Fog lights are bright and light up an area close to the bike. A driving light is more like a high beam that shines 40 to 50 feet in front of you. I find that you can out run a fog light at 70 mph where as with a driving light you can hit warp speed and the beam of light is still out in front of you like your high beams. Hope that makes sense.
@@ibhandlebar yes, it is me who use fog lights wrong... it is more like extra lights for the side of the road when riding in dark areas from what I understand on this bike. Just my English that is crap 🤣
@@tshansen There is a company here in the US that is dieing to get their hands on the 901. They are looking at making a driving light to replace the stock Aux light. They make all kinds of lights and head light bulbs. (Cyclopes Adventure Sports)
Greg
Dear Greg,
With respect: The auxiliary lights appeared to be driving lights. The correct beam patterns are as follows: Driving lights = high beam / Fog lights = low beam with a sharp cutoff along the top of the beam to minimize back light reflection from fog, rain and snow / Running lights = weak high beam / Spot lights = concentrated high beam without much lateral or vertical spread.
Best regards, Niall Leslie.
Thomas I can see you on the new Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, that Khaki green and white bike look awesome, and I think it would bring new interest to you channel. Bit expensive admittedly, but if you’ve been thinking about a change, this could well get more subscribers to your excellent channel. I originally found you, when I was looking at the KTM 790 Rally, I’m sure many others may well of found you under similar circumstances. Even though I’m not in the market for a Triumph, as a motorcycle enthusiast, I’ll watch anything about motorcycles(within reason 😉 ). Whatever you may decide or not, still interesting when you do a preview of new bikes, and hope test rides. 👍
It is a long winter, and I will take a hard look at all the new candidates this year. I'm in no rush or need of changing but it's always nice with something new. I will not change bike to gain more views or followers, I rather stick to my regular crowd and concentrate on making better content and better storys instead 😇🎥 But I do think that most of my viewers come because of my KTM and some of my equipment. That is just the way this game is. I'm not the most relaxed and easy listening in front of the camera, so I think I will always try to focus more on great storys etc. 😉 A a Norwegian, my English can only be medium good 🤣
@@tshansen Thomas, your story telling is excellent and you cinematography is fantastic, your English is very good, probably better than I. 😉🤪
I had a look at a Norden this week at the motorcycle show in Birmingham. I much prefer the look of it to the KTM 890, but it was not getting much interest at the show. If I was looking for an adventure bike in this capacity (which I'm not) then I would certainly test ride one, and it will be interesting to see how many are sold in the UK over the next 12 months.
Well.... I'm not sure I like it better than the KTM, but I love how it is different. It looks really good from the side with this look (IMO) I think this is a perfect in-between the KTM range of bikes. It is good times for people who want a new bike these days. Love the new Ducati as well 🔥
@@tshansen The Ducati's don't do it for me, I can't seem to get all their sports bikes (which I love) out of my field of perspective. The Triumph's are all impressive, but we already had that conversation. I find the Africa Twin intimidating, and I am a similar height to you. I am not sure why the Norden was not getting more attention, maybe I was just passing at a quiet time, or maybe all the ADV riders were too busy looking at the Tiger 1200's.
@@neilmackinnon3371 I thought the same at the NEC show. The bike was almost at the back of the stand as if it had been out for years. You would think they would have it at the front 🤷 most people didn't seem to notice it. I only saw it because I made a point of looking for it. Lovely bike if feeling a bit small for me. Do also like the 890 Adventure R though.
Norden looks cool but I am still in loved with my KTM1190....
Yeah, the Norden looks way better than i expected, but I’m with you, not enough reason to change 😆
@@tshansen BTW.....I saw you today on Anna Grechishkina channel, I guess was nice to have a chat between KTM's lovers with 3 generations of bikes there!!! Take care !!
hey, thx for your great contributions... listen, I am planning a major trip on my Road King to Norway coming season... is there a chance to contact you via eMail or any other platform? Warm regards from Amman
Hello mate, and thank you… glad you liked it. Of course you can contact me via mail. Send it to tshansenadv@gmail.com
So, you'll be trading your 790 for a Norden soon? 😄 The more I see the Norden, the more I like it!
Haha, no I will stick with my 790 a while longer (I think) the Norden is the same bike in every aspect, so it's not a real upgrade. But you have a new Ducati I like, and maybe a triumph? or maybe something new from BMW 🤣
Tolle KTM Technik ohne Kiska Design!
Did kiska design the KTM?
@@tshansen yes, he did.
Hello Thomas

It is a beautiful bike. The competition is hard now in that class of 700 to 900 ccm adventure bikes :-) Did we ask for those heavy and expensive beasts? I am still missing those alternatives below 700 ccm which is light, cheap but still comfortable and not underpowered...maybe too much to ask for :-)
Yeah, the competition is really hard these days. I feel like the trend is this segment now and all the brand are terrified to loose ground to the competition. I don't think we will see really powered bikes in the low ccm market before there is a drastic change in consumer trends? 🤔
Going smaller cc in a adv twin won't save much weight, but it will make it underpowered.
Yamaha got it spot on with the T7 imo.
CRF300L Rally ;)
@@MrMuntheNO yes maybe one of the best options for a world around trip and much of the TET :-)
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr yes great engine but top-heavy and too high for many riders.
Video already? Wow, you are really in high speed production mode these days 😊 It is definitely a bike that has a different look compared to others, and that might not be a bad thing at all. I think however I might have liked it more if it had a high front fender, something is just missing in the front 🤔
Yeah, can't say no to a challenge 🤣 I did look under the front, but it did not look like you could mount the KTM high fender directly on it. I may be mistaken. I love the high fender as well 🔥
High font fender is an easy fix avaiable from Husqvarna power parts!
@@d.balabastark7462 It the one from the KTM 890 or what? Would have loved to see a fender that was "tailor made" to the bike and complemented the overall design.
@@kihestad , I'm not sure if it's gonna be the same as the one for the KTM. Anyway, if so, that "kit" can be mounted, and then the fender can be swaped for another one (universal), more elegant, like the Polisport Supermotard. May be some drilling have to be made in the fender to adapt it, but that takes just a minute.
@@d.balabastark7462 Good points! 👍
Are you gonna try it out ?
I hope I get the chance to ride it when the snow is gone... but that will probably not gonna happen before Mars or April.
I like it but then again have just seen the Ducati Desert X.... it'd be the Desert X for me.
I can't wait to see the desert x my self. I think that looks really good also. I just sent a email to the Norwegian dealer and asked when they will have one to take a look at.

But I wait for Honda CRF 850 Africa Twin "Transalp". I gues it will be between T7 and KTM 890 Adventure in price, just unknown as riding experience of it.
It is a really interesting looking bike, I have to agree... I did not think I would like it as much as I did when first looking at pictures of it.

Yes, that is correct... It's me an John Little 🤣
An overall good looking bike, except the silly round retro styled headlight, it seems to be a trend for 2022 for a few differend brands, I'd even go as far as to say that even if it was the best bike ever built, that headlight alone would stop me from buying it.
🤣 you win best comment so far! Haha, I'm not a fan of those headlights my self, but when I saw it live, I hate to admit it was really cool. 😵
It was smaller than the impression l got from the release videos l view.
I think so too... it is or feels more compact in a way.
It looks nice, almost a little "meaty" . But your legs looked really cramped when you sat on it, not that comfortable.
It did not feel cramped at all, but a little bit higher seat and lower footpegs it will be the same as my 790, and I’m really comfortable on that bike 🔥
