It looks proper!!!!😊 I'm in the Northwest Bikers Group ( Cumbria) , and back in May there was an organised 125 'Ride Out' ....There was a 125 version of this bike on the ride , and that looked to be up there with the fastest in the 125 category. I was chatting with the owner , and he described it as being 'peppy' . A very satisfied owner ...😊
Very similar. The 800NK seems to be a little bit more compact a bit like a Yamaha MT. it was quick but more restrained than this. This was more of a brute to ride. Constant power wheelies. Both comfortable. As much as I loved this though, the price is high and more likely to keep my Licence on the NK. So I would probably pick the NK. Even though this was more fun.
Flawed machine...they scored with the Vitpilen,but the designers went for a liquid lunch half way through designing this...needed wire spoke wheels,18" front like the original 701,an exhaust that doesn't cook the shock,decent footrests,not sportsbike ones on an alledged scrambler,and a tank,not a capacity swallowing cover,and a decent sump guard...had potential, but £3500 more expensive than a 790 Duke,pricing is crazy,no way that's worth more than a Honda Hornet 1000, £7999 max at the height of the season!
Yes. I have no idea what they are thinking with their prices. Currently they are £2500 more than the bike they are based on. That makes no sense for a brand that isn’t particularly well known in the Uk. I liked riding it. I found it to be loads of fun. But I’m sure it’s as much fun as the KTM Version which is cheaper. I feel they have scored an own goal. This needed to be cheaper than the KTM to stand a chance.
@GillyBikes the 44t boys said £6999 for a Duke,a quick look what's for sale confirmed that,but everyone was saying just shy of £10 and a half for this Husky,all used ones on A/T are about £8800 upwards, which is higher than the per-vat price(£8745)...you automatically lose the VAT on registration, so anything pre-Reg should be at least £500 below that...away too expensive! A £7999 bike,with 600mls(what I prefer to buy(service done),should be around £6200,Transalp money S/H...they would shift plenty,due to the styling over conservative Japanese design...another huge KTM own goal!
So disappointed with husky on this. The nuda is still a million times better looking. Why couldn’t they just go back to that cutting edge design that still looks fresh.

They all seem very well put together. I did have a little issue with the 401 but that’s for another video 🫣
Great review! Greets from Austria, Home of KTM
Thank you 😎
Thanks for the review,I’m looking to ride it when it’s available in the states.
You will love it.
I wonder when it will be here.
@@RodeoRides a dealer in Dallas told me August 2!
I have one. I love it. Matt Australia.
Great to hear Matt. I had loads of fun on my day with it 😍
That looks like a beast. I couldn’t trust myself on that.
I couldn’t trust my self either. It was addictive 😍
The most fun bike of the year. 100%. But we are only 6 months in. More to come 👍
It has wheelie control so no worries 😁
It didn’t feel like it. One of the most fun bikes I’ve ever ridden. 😎
@@GillyBikes For sure Nice Bike 👌
u guys rly like the design ?
Compared to 401 it looks 7 years back in time
Comparing it to the KTM 790 duke it’s much nicer to look at
Im sure a better deal will be available in a few months
We all love a good deal. 👍
How does it compare with the CF Moto 800 NK?
Very similar. The 800NK seems to be a little bit more compact a bit like a Yamaha MT. it was quick but more restrained than this. This was more of a brute to ride. Constant power wheelies. Both comfortable. As much as I loved this though, the price is high and more likely to keep my Licence on the NK. So I would probably pick the NK. Even though this was more fun.
Definitely looks better than the KTM. I really don’t like the front lights that KTM have.
100% agree with you 😘
@@GillyBikes I think even KTM fanboys agree with him lol 😂
Ten minutes... : the amount of time I'd have my licence if I owned this bike. 😅
I was thinking that about my own licence. It was obscene to play on but I would either kill myself or lose my licence if I got one.

Aaah...the Nuda. That was something.
