HUSQVARNA NORDEN 901

Husqvarna’s adventure-touring machine dubbed the 901 Norden was unveiled to eager anticipation at EICMA and overnight Husqvarna have now confirmed that this exciting machine is to enter series production. 

Hidden behind its rally style flanks is the 899.5 cc LC8c parallel twin, a larger version of the grunty new engine first debuted in KTM’s 790 Duke. 

While short on detail, Husqvarna claim that their concept machine is lighter than any of its rivals and features high-end equipment throughout.

Rolling on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear the Norden promises serious adventure.

HONDA ST50G DAX 1974

In 1969, the Honda Dax was introduced as a two-person alternative to the Monkey.

Because of the somewhat longer, but still low, model, Honda derived its name from the Dachshund teckel.

With its 10 inch wheels, small size and foldable handlebar, it was perfect for the small house owners in Tokyo, to be put on the rear of a camper van, and for use in the pit lane.

The Dax was available as ST50 with 50cc, and ST70 with 70cc.

In America, the Dax was available as CT70 Minitrail and as medium sized ST90.
