The passing of years has gently evolved me past wrestling my GS through offroad sections where drops are reality. That's where the Norden Expedition entered my adventure story. After over 12, 000 Norden miles I confidently endorse the Husqvarna path forward to GS riders who are spoiled with industry leading amenities, comfort, and refinement.

Excellent content MAD men! Thank you.

Great review. Appreciate how you went into the detail about the chassis differences between the 901 and 890. Havent heard anyone else mention that

You guys set the standard for entertaining and informative reviews. I’ve been waiting for this one! Thanks for the hard work!

[roverroko]

Someone in your comments said thanks for your hard work, I would say thank you for taking the time to film your adventure. And make such great quality content and production of the vid itself. Because that’s not hard work that is the best job in the world. 😊

You have amazing reviews! Thanks for putting in all the hard work with filming and editing. Always enjoy looking at your jumps and slides.. your enjoyment for the sport is contaminating!!

Fantastic and Best review on the net on the 901. Complete coverage! Thanks for your work. I'm here in Topanga Canyon, CA, and will get the 901!

[markstivey]

Great work Dave. I haven’t heard a bad review yet. I’m picking up my Expedition on Tuesday. I’ve been waiting since early Feb. 👍😎

Crikey Dave, this is the best 901E video in terms of content and videography. As a photographer I really appreciated and enjoyed your filming and editing skills. I have a 901 and I am a big bloke and the suspension is the 901's biggest downfall but it's not terribly bad. However I have seriously been considering selling the 901 and buying the expedition version and for me your video has confirmed that choice with your no BS comments about the pros of the 901E. Your review was excellent and filmed in a very casual yet completely informative style. You are blessed to live in a land where exploring is the name of the game. Here in southern Alberta Canada we also have some great places to ride but our riding season in only 6 months at best unfortunately. I'm glad I found your channel and naturally I subscribed :) Cheers

When i discovered your channel some years ago (i think it was the 701 LR review) and saw some 30-40 minutes video length if a remember well, i thought "why is the video so long??" After watching many of your videos (productions is a better word) i gave myself the answer. This content should not be free of charge. So thorough, so detailed so matched to the needs of all of us who love doing it or/and watching it! I have a question however! Should i trade my 19' Tiger 800 XCA for a Norden Expedition or use the money (plus some..) to buy a brand new 701 to enjoy all circumstances with the proper bike? I saw your latest vid on the 701 review and i am so biased into it.... Keep up the amazing content! Thank you for giving us the chance to explore Australia on an ADV bike!

So much appreciate your vids and especially this one! I'm reluctantly looking for a replacement for my trusty 990 and this is a great set of perspectives from guys I trust. We are about the same size and age and seem to enjoy similar dirty terrain. In your seat height piece, you look exactly like I look on my 990. Tip toe to Tip Toe. I fI was still in my 40s maybe the 890R, today pushing 60, the Nordy seems like the choice. Thanks again to you and Cubby.

Dave, that was more like it! Brilliant review, with everything you need. Really good!

[dcryder]

I just like seeing you guys giving a brand new bike a proper thrashing! Greetings from the USA

[angelobaltoyannis]

Brilliant!
Best Expedition review out there!
Cheers mate

[advmatt]

Like the new style of MAD, hopefully looking at the bike this weekend at ABR FESTIVAL in the UK . thanks Dave

Great review!
I just went to a Husky Demo Ride today and tried both the standard 901 and the Expedition. I rode the Expedition first, and the tall seat height and wide seat made me feel ill at ease on the bike. The standard one felt perfect, and I was very at home on it.
BUT, I know what you mean about the suspension. The Exp was much plusher while the standard was lacking rebound dampening though the bigger whoops.
When you consider all the upgrades, the Exp is a better deal, no doubt. But I guess I'll have to spend a little more and get the lowering kit in order to feel as comfortable as I was on the base model.

Glad you mentioned the effect of softening the preload! So many channels forget to mention that. What’s your inseam, Darcy?
