Got mine back in May '23 and am loving it. Only gripe so far has been the windshield. I'm 6 foot tall and I think it is a tad too tall. Oh and get rid of the factory bags unless you're not going to carry anything in them. They don't hold up to much weight. I think the manual says 7lbs. Seen lots of videos and reviews about torn seams on the bags.
I'm drooling like a fool. That is The best looking adventure motorcycle! Still tall and not much lighter than my GS1200 adventure.. THE HUSQVARNA IS THE MOST RALLY BIKE LOOK ALIKE😂 with a vanity mirror
Bravo ta nouvelle vidéo, elle est vraiment cool ;) c'est innovant de voir la préparation d'une moto neuve qui sort de l'usine. Cette Norden 901 expédition est magnifique. Elle est pour moi le plus beau trail dans la catégorie mi-size avec l' Africa twin 1100 standard et la Ducati désert X.
protip. drill some more holes in that bashplate. Never felt so much heat from an ehxuast ever. Drilled some more holes lower on the bashplate and that seems to have fixed it. Header and the cat gets minimal airflow otherwise. Checked my air/fuel after i rode it the first times to see if the was running lean since the exhaust was so hot XD
Mine isn't here yet (hopefully next couple of days) Real interesting to see this. Bet you I will have to undo my rockgaurd & turn the saddle tank spacers around. (They look like they could use a dab of hot glue, just to make sure) We'll see.
❤️ the tip about finding your key! I have searched for my Norden key many times, only to find it much later in the side key slot. Merry Christmas 🎄 Smokey!
Love the look! Great colour and graphics. One of the best looking adv bikes. Unfortunately there is no Husqvarna motorcycle dealer within 1000km of where I live. Sticking with my GS. Love the videos Smokey 👍. You crack me up. The smelling everything is a little disturbing 😮. Anyway, please stay away from forklifts. And maybe check out Ritalin 😂
Fun video! You made me laugh several times. Not sure what that other poster is smoking, because you always make us laugh. I recently got a T7 but this looks like an awesome package! Merry Christmas Smokey🎉
Skipped the part where the rear of the bash plate gets bolted in! Most difficult bash plate I have ever installed and needed a scissor jack in the end to get the rear bolt holes to line up
@@LifeofSmokey Good to hear I am not the only one lol. I wonder if the right hand switchgear will work on the 2023 model and give you hazard lights...maybe ask your Husky friends for us? :)
In winter all press motorcycles get sold so I'm a bit out of job. Also nobody buying motorcycles so not much gets delivered 😂. Jan-Feb next year the new stuff will be coming in hot! So got a lot of work coming , I was just wondering if people would be interested in seeing new bikes unboxed. Nobody is doing this so I was like....yup that's my thing now haha
Love the looks and stance of the bike. Very handsome. But not sure if I can handle the sound of that engine. It sounds like a bag of loose nuts and bolts in a dryer. I also heard complaints about excessive engine heat. It’s so good otherwise.
Yep engine heat is high on this one....in winter it's perfect! In summer it's bad I know. Heatwrap on the exhaust pipes should do the trick I have been told
Rad to see all the unboxing toys. Strangely satisfying. 😂 One quick question - do you happen to ride a bit after these unboxing? I’ve been curious about 901 for a while. For 80-100mph (130-160kmh) highway run, does this work sufficient? How about 901(890?) with stock tires vs SAR1290R with 50:50 tire(Anarchy adventure/Bridgestone A41)?
These bikes don't have license plats just yet so only ride it next to the building. All the 890/901's can do highway very well. The 1290 adventure is just an overpowered monster 😁
@@LifeofSmokey Oh, I see. I thought that you can have a quick taste after assembly under the name of “test”. 😆 can’t wait to watch the next unboxing. After all these bikes, it looks you still keep SAR1290 as the personal choice. This kind of convinces me to get one. (Will get SAR very soon despite I’m mostly on-road and desert rider.)
Yep , I have not found something as fun and crazy as my 1290 SAR 😁. That LC8 engine , the amount of torque , how easy and light it feels when it starts riding and the straight up position is just so good.
No , many brands do not have press fleet motorcycles anymore and not releasing anything new because of winter. Nobody is unboxing these new bikes so it's a bit of a side video series I'm creating now. Instead of boring static reviews , I will review a bike while unboxing. Later on I will take it out for a ride 😌
Maybe microphone troubles? but could you normalize the volume. The effects and music were loud, voice was too quiet. It was very WhistlinDiesel-ish. Thanks bud.
IF....I'm correct the normal one is grey , the expedition is blue. They now have 4 indicator button and upgrade traction control/slip adjuster for offroading. 😎
that skid plate is the size of the one on my Tacoma, this is no off-road bike. maybe fire roads but no real off-roading. Absolutely monster size. Also made in China
What else should I unbox next? Let me know in the comments 😁👌❤️
KTM 990 duke 2024
2024 ktm 890R Rally
Yamaha Tenere 700 ‘Explore’ Edition.
Cfmoto mt800 explore
2025 ktm 1390 adventure R
No buyers remorse yet. I hope this doesnt steal my heart over the tiger 900 I just put money down for xD
I’ve got 9,000 miles on my ‘23 Expedition like Bob and couldn’t love it more! Merry Christmas Smokey! 🏍️💨
Really good looking and riding bike!! 😎👌
I have an Expedition since middle march and 21.000 km on her and I love her. Main issue is the engine heat. I did a 16.000 km review in my channel.
Remove the cat or heat wrap around the exhaust should be a life saver I have been told 😌
yep, for now is winter .. maybe when is closer to summer, thanks@@LifeofSmokey
This is the prettiest bike out there right now ,to me, along with the Africa Twin 1100
By my humble opinion, for 360 use probably one of the best👍😍
Beautiful bike, and smart move, limiting Smokey’s forklift access 😊 Now, we need a video with a cameo of Bob on the new press bike in TET mud.
I really love the sound it makes when the bike cranks !! ❤️

Apart from the front headlight and the mirrors, I think the bike is cool. 😎👍
Hi , the foam that doesn't smell so bad to you is corrosion protection. We will make the motorcycle cover here😉
Interesting to see that most of the expedition goodies are not factory mounted

This is definitely a beautiful bike, much better than my ktm 890 adventure r
These unboxings are fun for any Moto fan. Keep it up!!! Pure joy.
This is such a nice bike!
Warring lights would be really nice. Love my norden
Love the look of this bike 👍
That is one hell of a beauty and the mickey mouse mirrors actually fit with it due to the round shape design of the front light. 😏
most beautiful adventure bike of the all
motocykl moich marzeń. zobaczyłem go na drodze i się zakochałem. może kiedys będzie szansa na przejażdżkę
Heading motorcycle show in Toronto Ontario Canada in two weeks can’t wait! You are welcome to show up! Merry Christmas Smokey.
22 Hours of travel is a bit long for a motorcycle show. But one day I will come over 😎👌
protip. drill some more holes in that bashplate. Never felt so much heat from an ehxuast ever. Drilled some more holes lower on the bashplate and that seems to have fixed it.

Really liking the norden

Best looking adventure motobike
Hij is mooi geworden
And it is spanish aluminiun, not Austrian steel. Really nicely made
❤️ the tip about finding your key! I have searched for my Norden key many times, only to find it much later in the side key slot. Merry Christmas 🎄 Smokey!
Merry Christmas bud! 👌😎
I got that problem also on my 890 adv :)
These unboxings are fun for any Moto fan. Keep it up!!!
Just loving these unboxing videos! Keep them coming please
Mv Agusta Brutale 1000 RR up next 😁👌
@@LifeofSmokey awesome ❤️
What a great video merry Christmas
Exactly everybody wants a cheese sandwich and a chocolate croissant to go adventure riding! Stay funny $mokey🎄
Lovely looking adv bike Smokey, great spec, but boy, those engines sound like a bag of spanner’s thats about to explode!
Yeah I don't like the stock sound as well 😂🙈
That is think will be the replacement to my bmw 1250 gsa in a few years time. Great vid as always Smokey. ❤
Good choice! Thanks bud! 😌👌
Ignore those people, you are funny!
Yeah it is a really Nice bike I,m so happy with it…. It looks so cool and rides like crazy …. Nice video mate ❤
Nice bike great colour, much too tall, glad you’re putting it together, I hate assembling things I don’t get on with Jigsaw puzzles 😤🏴
Bike is amazing, it must've a small beak kind in front or above the fender. Rest is very well designed...
Rhat is how i would rather get a bike, not at the dealer, this is better than Crismax. 😊
Me to! Only that Husky got so many strange bolts and nuts we had to ask the KTM mechanic Melvin where everything needed to go 😂🙈
i love it. wish i had the money and my country the economy to buy one of those
Bro your videos are insane 😁 very nice. greetings from austria 😁
Love the look! Great colour and graphics. One of the best looking adv bikes. Unfortunately there is no Husqvarna motorcycle dealer within 1000km of where I live. Sticking with my GS. Love the videos Smokey 👍. You crack me up. The smelling everything is a little disturbing 😮. Anyway, please stay away from forklifts. And maybe check out Ritalin 😂
Haha forklifts have never been my best friends , I like to smell things to , I believe it's some kind of fetish 😅👌
I think you're hilarious, keep your videos coming. Love the unboxing ones
Thank you! Will do! 😂👌❤️
I'm from iraq🇮🇶, Welcome!!
Smokey has quickly become my favorite motorcycle youtuber. Cheers man.
Wow, thanks! That escalated quickly 😁👌🙏
Think video would be better if you don't act silly, otherwise I like your content.
nice Video Smokey
Smokey Disclaimer: “No bats were harmed in the production of this video”.
Good bike and always good videos smokey😊
Thanks 👍😎
this is exactly how the new himalayan or a big cc himalayan should have looked like !
It does have hazard light, GREAT!!! But is the explorer mode also still standard?
Will there be Husqvarna 125 cc?😅
Does Husqvarna supply the software to allow buyers to unbox and setup from home?
No thx motorcycles are in "transport mode" that can only be unlocked by the dealer. So the bike does not start 😌
Ok, thanks.
Dealers need a reason to charge another thousand bucks on top of msrp...
Nice video.can you tell me if you know.Can I put warning lights on my norden 23 plate?
What a beautiful bike
Another great un💪boxing
Fun video! You made me laugh several times. Not sure what that other poster is smoking, because you always make us laugh.
I recently got a T7 but this looks like an awesome package!
Merry Christmas Smokey🎉
Thanks champ! Merry Christmas to you to! 😁👌🥂
I enjoyed watching the video today too.
I hope to see another good video next time.
I also subscribed and liked.
Have a nice day.👍
Nice…one of the best looking adv bikes ..however those panniers are a definite distraction ..
Skipped the part where the rear of the bash plate gets bolted in! Most difficult bash plate I have ever installed and needed a scissor jack in the end to get the rear bolt holes to line up
I didn't record that....but we did something similar and jacket it up to 😂
@@LifeofSmokey Good to hear I am not the only one lol. I wonder if the right hand switchgear will work on the 2023 model and give you hazard lights...maybe ask your Husky friends for us? :)
Pretty sure they didn't make much changes to reduce costs so guessing it will work 😁
Very nice Smokey😎 🍺
Nice bike, and upgrades.. keep trying to be funny. I love that the most about your video's!
Very nice Smokey, is that your new job official unboxer 😅

Нужна премия дизайнерам!!! Это самый красивый мот что я знаю!!!
Техника супер дружище )))) но что б я понимал тебя ещё было бы вообще бомба ))
excelent ... answeare : the model 2024 have boton hazard?
Yes 😌
thank ... mi model 2023 NO have Boton Hazard and is very importan ... see you @@LifeofSmokey
Comunque è proprio vero che le moto sono tutte bellissime ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Rad to see all the unboxing toys. Strangely satisfying. 😂
One quick question - do you happen to ride a bit after these unboxing?
I’ve been curious about 901 for a while. For 80-100mph (130-160kmh) highway run, does this work sufficient? How about 901(890?) with stock tires vs SAR1290R with 50:50 tire(Anarchy adventure/Bridgestone A41)?

Yep , I have not found something as fun and crazy as my 1290 SAR 😁. That LC8 engine , the amount of torque , how easy and light it feels when it starts riding and the straight up position is just so good.
I think you’re funny , but why wouldn’t you guys use the lifts that are available in the background?
More room to walk around and film like this , I also like to be oldschool and get on the ground when working on something 😅
My 2009 bandit has hazard warning lights
I like that bike
I know its a dumb question but does Norden 901 Expedition come with the bags or are they extra?
Comes with everything you see in the box and on this bike included 😌
Which camera do you use, can please give me the details?
I need one like thes 😮
How is the reliability on this bike?
I have been riding Husqvarna for many years and nothing I could complain about. It of course mostly like a KTM 890 Adventure R 😁
THAT LOSING THE KEY PART JUP ALREADY 6 times or so
Does that engine sound rough on IDLE ?
Oh cool, if only I lived in a climate where my Norden didn't melt my legs off even after de cat
So that process of delivery and assembly is approx $1700+ and all Husky dealers.....
Does this means that you bought one?
No , many brands do not have press fleet motorcycles anymore and not releasing anything new because of winter. Nobody is unboxing these new bikes so it's a bit of a side video series I'm creating now. Instead of boring static reviews , I will review a bike while unboxing. Later on I will take it out for a ride 😌
😍
Awesome
Lovely bike, but the seat height is just too bloody high !!!!
Yeah you have a lowered seat and lowered suspension but it's a really high bike for sure stock 🙈
Amazing motorcycle but I think it's too tall for me 😢(1.75mt)
Maybe microphone troubles? but could you normalize the volume. The effects and music were loud, voice was too quiet. It was very WhistlinDiesel-ish. Thanks bud.
Ok will do! Noticed it myself in editing to that mic sound is low 😁👌
This is a copy of Royal Enfield Himalayan. I like Royal Enfield Himalayan.😊😊😊
'Poke it into the hole' Yep 😆
Якийсь за надто веселе відео!
Can you do nuda 900r plezz❤
❤❤❤
👏
❤
And how much it is in your country?🧐
İnteresting icy days started and unboxing ha? Instead of going Saudi land watching the best motor event for a biker! DAKAR
23 or 24 ?? isnt 24 gray
IF....I'm correct the normal one is grey , the expedition is blue. They now have 4 indicator button and upgrade traction control/slip adjuster for offroading. 😎
that skid plate is the size of the one on my Tacoma, this is no off-road bike. maybe fire roads but no real off-roading. Absolutely monster size. Also made in China
