Nuda 900R hitting the show scene
Husqvarna's new generation street bike, which relies heavily on the technical prowess of BMW, will be at the 2011 Perth and Sydney motorcycle showsThe up-spec ‘R’ model in Husqvarna’s all-new street bike, the Nuda, will be on location at the 2011 Perth (November 4-6) and Sydney (November 26-27) motorcycle shows.
Both the Nuda R and Nuda are powered by an 898cc parallel twin. The engine is based on the BMW F 800 R's 798cc power pump, but with 2mm larger bore (now 84mm) and 5.4mm increase to stroke (now 81mm).
Peak power is 105hp (77kW) and peak torque is 100Nm, which compares well with its donor engine from the BMW, which ekes out 86hp (64kW) and 86Nm.
The frame is a steel trellis unit lifted from the F 800 GS, shortened by 50mm then stiffened via an 80mm steering head tube.
The Nuda 900R has fully adjustable 48mm Sachs forks, and the Ohlins monoshock is also fully adjustable and comes with a ride height adjustor.
The Bikesales Network’s man on the spot in Europe, Kevin Ash, has just ridden the Nuda R and Nuda at the international press launch in Sardinia (Italy), and here's the report.
