2014 · Naked bike
The 2014 Husqvarna Nuda 900R arrived as a distinctive entry in the naked bike segment, a product of Husqvarna's brief but memorable stint under BMW ownership. This model represented a bold departure for the Swedish brand, known primarily for its off-road prowess, into the street motorcycle arena. Positioned against rivals like the Triumph Street Triple R and the KTM 690 Duke, the Nuda 900R offered a unique proposition, blending supermoto aggression with naked bike practicality. Its sharp styling and unconventional approach quickly garnered attention from riders seeking something beyond the mainstream.
At the heart of the Nuda 900R was its potent 898.00 ccm (54.80 cubic inches) engine, a modified version of BMW's F 800 R powerplant. This liquid-cooled parallel-twin delivered a robust 103.26 HP (75.4 kW) at 8500 RPM, coupled with a healthy 100.00 Nm (10.2 kgf-m or 73.8 ft.lbs) of torque peaking at 7000 RPM. Weighing in at a svelte 174.0 kg (383.6 pounds) dry, the Nuda 900R boasted an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Fuel capacity stood at 13.00 litres (3.43 gallons), providing a reasonable range for spirited rides.
Riding the Nuda 900R was an experience defined by its supermoto-inspired handling and an upright stance characteristic of naked bikes. The 870 mm (34.3 inches) seat height, even at its lowest adjustable setting, hinted at its tall, commanding riding position, offering excellent visibility. Its chassis, featuring premium suspension components, contributed to a nimble and responsive ride. The Nuda 900R felt particularly at home carving through twisty roads, where its precise steering and strong brakes could be fully appreciated. Despite its aggressive character, the ergonomics were surprisingly accommodating for a bike with such a sporting inclination.
The Husqvarna Nuda 900R appealed to riders looking for a raw, unfiltered motorcycle experience that stood apart from the crowd. It wasn't for those seeking a plush, long-distance tourer, but rather for enthusiasts who valued engaging performance and distinctive styling. Its relatively short production run means it remains a somewhat rare sight, making it a desirable machine for collectors and riders who appreciate its unique blend of European engineering and supermoto spirit. The Nuda 900R ultimately carved out a niche for itself as a spirited and memorable naked bike.
