Overview

Introducing the 2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900, a striking naked bike that embodies the spirit of performance and agility. Positioned within the competitive realm of street motorcycles, the Nuda 900 is designed for riders who crave versatility without sacrificing power. With its unmistakable styling—a bold mix of muscular lines and minimalistic aesthetics—this bike commands attention on the streets while offering a thrilling ride for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides. This model stands as a testament to Husqvarna’s innovative engineering, merging modern technology with racing heritage to create a truly unique motorcycle experience. At the heart of the Nuda 900 lies a potent 898cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 103.26 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and a robust torque of 100 Nm at 7,000 RPM. This powerplant delivers exhilarating acceleration and seamless power delivery, making every twist of the throttle a thrilling experience. The bike’s six-speed gearbox ensures smooth gear transitions, while the electronically controlled fuel injection system optimizes performance across various riding conditions. Riders can even switch between two engine mappings to tailor their experience, allowing them to adapt the bike’s character to suit their mood, whether it’s a leisurely cruise or an aggressive sprint through winding roads. The Nuda 900 is more than just a powerhouse; it's built with rider comfort and handling in mind. Its tubular steel trellis frame provides exceptional rigidity while keeping weight down to a nimble 174 kg (383.6 pounds), which contributes to its impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.5934 HP/kg. The Sachs Upside Down front forks and a dual swingarm rear suspension work in harmony to deliver superior handling and stability, whether navigating tight corners or cruising on the highway. With a seat height of 870 mm, it accommodates a wide range of riders, and the adjustable rear suspension allows customization for different riding styles and preferences. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 898cc twin-cylinder engine delivers impressive horsepower and torque, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and responsiveness.
  • Lightweight and Agile Handling: Weighing just 174 kg, the Nuda 900 is designed for nimble handling, making it easy to maneuver through traffic and tackle twisty roads.
  • Customizable Riding Experience: Features like switchable engine mappings and adjustable suspension settings allow riders to tailor the bike to their specific preferences and riding conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of just 13 liters (3.43 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent refueling stops.
  • Seat Comfort: While the seat height is accommodating, the comfort level may not be ideal for extended journeys, potentially leading to fatigue on longer rides.
  • Naked Design: The lack of fairings may expose the rider to wind and weather elements, which can be a consideration for those who prefer more protection on the road.
