Thanks for your video. I’m trying to decide between Africa Twin and 901 Exped. Your point about gripping the bike with your legs is really important to me. I love the AT engine but I don’t feel as secure on the AT as there isn’t much to grip with your legs, when in an attack standing position. It’s not easy deciding between these two bikes based on a short road test. First world problem Cheers
Thanks for the comment. Im glad I might have helped to bring some clarity in that question! For me, the Norden does the compromise between road fun and offroad security better than the twin. I've ridden the craziest offroadparts with the Twin and you wont do a "bad decision" with either. If you are 90% on Alp-Passes with short and quick turns where you need that low torque, the twin wins. If youre very diversified in riding environment the Norden does it better. Overall smoother and more punchy which also is more fun on the street. Perfect example: Cruise control, 50 km/h on a straight road, you can easily stand up on the norden without having the hands on the handlebar on the Norden. Was never possible with the twin :)
So happy to have come across your content! Exactly what I've been looking for! Was on my 2016 Africa Twin through several thousand miles of mostly road (some off-road) traveling from Brooklyn, NY to Canada, Nova Scotia, Cabot trail and beyond, but wanted to trade up to something with a little more punch and easier to pick up when it's dropped! The 901 came into my life a year ago and totally fit that bill...I've been quite happy with the raw grunt this bike has and love how it wheelies over logs without even trying. I will say I miss my AT a little when it comes to road touring and really wanted to have a chance to ride the newer 1100 AT at some point because I think it may beat the Norden in terms of creature comfort on the long haul. Plus from my experience, the AT wins in terms of reliability. Never had an issue with mine in over 11k miles, but so far the Norden has had two warranty repairs, (a gasket replacement after a leak at 4k miles, and at 4.5k miles a warranty replacement of the ABS/TC sensor cable). The dealer is an hour and 20 minutes away, so that's not so fun. But it's hard to argue against how fun this bike is to ride in almost any condition. Thanks for posting! Very curious to see what sort of changes you make on your Husky and what your next trip reveals! Please keep 'em coming...love your on-camera energy!
Hey Frankee, cool, dass du deinen eigenen channel machst und auch mein bike fährst ;) Ich habe meine norden erst kurz. Im Mai will ich ein offroad Training machen und dann auf der MX Strecke bei uns weiter üben. Meine Klamotten sind jedoch für die Straße und im Sommer nur bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten zu gebrauchen. Stiefel habe ich mir schon geholt. Könntest du mir verraten welche Hose und Oberbekleidung du trägst? Grüße und ich freue mich auf weitere Videos!
Hii, e träge s ganze johr dure chleider vo Held. Im Winter heisi wük super laminierti sache und em summer entweder mit protection-vest oder wie zbsp uf minere Balakanreis d Mesh - Kombi "Vento 2". Det hesch wük maximale Wind-durchzug :)
Not sure about Europe, in US dealers have lots of 23’ Norden stock & they are discounting 15% off, if dealer network here was better would definitely buy

I'm excited to see how the finished bike will look like.
See you in Hochdorf!

Great content - Stumbled across it today, following for more.
Great start
Looking forward to see more!
😂😂 love it! Its good to see the natural goofy frankee on the tube!❤
Love the energy 🤙 Pumped to see what you do with her
If you prefer to ride off-road, I would suggest you the Husqvarna Enduro seat (a little higher, a little narrower) as a mod
Let's goooo Frankee!!! love the content! Love the memes, and hate you, that's the best combination of fan, I guess!! LOL
Yo this is the most confusing comment i ever got! 😂 why do you hate me?
Damn it feels good to be a gangster!
Thanks for review mate
Arrow decat pipe is the best mod for this bike. 👍🏻
I don't think thats legal in Switzerland unfortunately :( hahah
good change!!!

Just bought a 23 standard 901 before the new year (Canada). $2000 (CDN) less than a 24 model.
yee boiii 🤙
That video couldve been done in 4 min if you cut out all the bs fillers of non information and blabbering on
Seems like you‘ve got enough time tho considering your investment to create such a kind comment!🙌🏽🙌🏽 thanks for watching anyways
It's the autism hands for me 😂🫶🏻 Guets Vidiooooooooooo
