Damien Ashenhurst - ADVLIFE: "The trails have been amazing and the bike - the Husqvarna Norden 901 - which we've waited on for so long is finally here. It looks so much more impressive in person than it even does in photos! Early impressions were good, it's super-comfortable, and the guys that want to take those dirt roads that wind millions of kilometres all around this country, this is turning out to be one of the bikes that they should be looking for."

Andrew Clubb - Australian Adventure Bike: "It's doing the business for us up here today up here in the high country. The emphasis with this bike is adventure touring, that's the message we're getting and that's what's coming through loud and clear. Priced competitively, the fit, the finish, the detail manufacture, really impressive! It's going to be a bike that's really appropriate for Aussie adventure tourers."

Dylan Ruddy - Bikesales: "I'm seriously impressed by the Norden 901. It is comfortable, capable and it adds another layer to the competitive middleweight adventure bike segment."

Tom Foster - ADV Rider: "I have to say, it seems a pretty exceptional motorcycle at this early stage of our ride. This bike's done some amazing road miles, some amazing dirt road miles and the bike sings, it flies! It's a really nice bit of gear."

Wayne Vickers - MCNEWS: "This bike shines in a really wide range of conditions. For 98 percent of riders out there that are going to be doing the majority tarmac, some gravel roads and, occasionally, snotty stuff, this is going to do everything that those riders need. For Husqvarna fans, it's going to meet all of your demands pretty comfortably. For others, this is definitely something to have a serious look at."

Andy Wigan - Transmoto: "It's an exciting time for Husqvarna and a really exciting time for us to get onboard the Norden 901 and be part of that history, with Husqvarna getting into the segment for the first time. It's super-high quality, it's beautiful and the other thing is just how refined that beautiful parallel 889cc twin is - it just purrs and eats up kays like they're going out of fashion! It's super-planted on the road and you can have a ball going through the twisties."

Chris Jones - AMCN: "This is a bike that does everything really well! It's definitely capable on your rougher type of fire trails, exceptionally smooth on the road and handles beautifully. There are no surprises and, overall, stock standard it's a beautiful bike."
