PH2: HUSQVARNA NUDA AND NUDA 900R

Considerable on-road race success followed but from the 1930s onwards the company concentrated its efforts on the off-road market. In 1986 the Cagiva Group (who also owned Ducati at this point) purchased Husqvarna and the company was moved to Italy where it has remained ever since. With its off-road sales strong the latest chapter in this bizarre life of Husqvarna started in 2007 when BMW bought the company from Cagiva for 93 million Euros. What did BMW want with an off-road brand? Simple, Husky was an established brand that appealed to young riders. BMW wanted a ‘cool’ brand in much the same way as Mini to appeal to a fresh audience. Four years after the takeover, and after nearly 50 million Euros of investment that has included an overhaul of the Italian factory’s production facilities, and the first fruits of BMW’s investment have been launched.

Somewhat unsurprisingly the Nuda takes its influences from Husky’s off-road heritage. There has been a trend towards ‘big supermotos’ in the motorcycle market of late, which are effectively off-road styled bikes with sportsbike 17-inch wheels. Think Ducati Hypermotard, KTM 990SMT and in some ways Triumph’s Tiger 1050. The theory is that you get the comfort of an off-road style bike such as BMW’s GS thanks to the wide bars, with the improved handling due to the sporty sized wheels which allow the use of sticky tyres.
