THE Husqvarna Nuda was a humorous little bike, launched in 2012 and constructed whereas the Swedish model was owned by the automotive big, BMW.
It was powered by a modified BMW F800 twin-pot engine, pumped out round 100bhp and was famend as being a little bit of an animal. Not fairly a supermoto, however extra jacked up and bonkers than a standard bare, it’s brief manufacturing run principally cemented this machine as a nailed-on cult traditional.
And followers of the unique will little doubt have an interest to listen to that the mannequin seems like its making a return to the vary. The information comes from the German web site Motorrad, which has posted some spy photographs of the machine on its web site and social media. It’s reporting that the bike in query is certainly an LC8c powered bare, that’s getting set for a 2024 launch. Clearly, the underpinnings of the machine are very near these present in a few of the mother or father firm KTM’s fashions, and the timing of the bike is attention-grabbing given the approaching launch of the revamped KTM 890 SMT.
The unique 2012 Nuda
What we’ve then is a trellis body that appears carefully associated to the 890 Duke R, with barely jacked-up suspension (presumably the identical because the incoming SMT) and that trademark KTM solid swingarm. The headlight is among the giveaways that this isn’t an ‘orange bike’, as it is not the identical acquainted form as the remainder of the Austrian model’s machines, and bears greater than a passing resemblance to the headlight on the Nuda of previous – see high picture. The second giveaway is the leathers of the check experience. As a result of, effectively, they are saying ‘Husqvarna’ on them. Miss Marple, eat your coronary heart out!
Whereas these are simply spy photographs and with no official phrase from the manufacturing unit, it does look pretty effectively superior, and within the closing levels of product testing. All this leads us to consider it might effectively be a 2024 mannequin which may be introduced formally on the finish of this 12 months.
