The base model 2023 Norden is on the Husqvarna website with pricing:
https://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/en-us/models/travel/norden-901-2023.html

Thanks, But that is only the new price.
No updated photos of the new paint scheme etc.
I do not understand why, with only a couple months until the first bikes are to be shipped, no mention of the “ R “ version, which is to have the advanced suspension etc.
What has happened to Husqvarna?

Right. They are still offering the base Norden in 2023, with no real changes that I can see, and with the same color way.
I didn't realize you were asking about the Norden Expedition (the 'R' version, as you call it). And yes, it is frustrating. I have been first on the list at my dealership for one since July......and still no formal details, or confirmed arrival date. As has been discussed elsewhere on this site, many think details will be available in early February, with dealerships still telling customers the bikes will be available in March in the US. I guess we'll see!

Dealers want to sell, even goods they can´t deliver. Husqvarna, as far as I know, hadn´t announced a date. Here in Austria there is no info on the Expedition Model yet except they showed it at EICMA. No dates yet. And just because dealers hype it, makes the manufacturer not move faster. Could be Q2 or Q3 as well.

My dealer in Gunnison, Colorado has two 2023 base models in inventory and available. I looked at one yesterday, everything the same except the led turn signals as far as whit I noticed. He said the expedition models are supposed to arrive in March but thinks they’ll be 30 day’s late like these base models that should have arrived in December.

The Husqvarna Norden 901 (2023) is being offered in Germany for €15,674.

I was in Austria last summer and at that time the 2022 Norden 901 was almost $3,000 more that I paid in the US.
Even the Austrian KTM shops I talked to, said they couldn’t even get the connectivity kit ( for connecting music, phone etc through the Norden control on the handlebars ) until this year sometime. They are not even sold in the US.
I was told that the heated grips, that I ordered in March 2022, wouldn’t even be here by July 2023 at the earliest.
What a way to run a business.

Hmm... yes, thank you very much for your message, I think I'm the wrong contact person for you, get in touch with the manufacturer.

Here in Austria we have 20% sales tax and an additional NOVA-fee (Co2-emission related). So that´s most likely the price difference. Yes, annoying.
I got my Norden in December including the original heated grips (activated via menu or favorite key). I think they are readily available here now, but they weren´t earlier. I enjoy them pretty much recently at temps little above freezing point (I don´t mess with fahrenheit. )

Unfortunately manufacterers relate on other companies delivering parts. Since the pandemic that´s a mess everywhere and not getting any better since the war in Ukraine is another factor in global delivery processes.
