Hello from the UK and a mid life crisis.

Welcome and greetings from Oregon USA!
I hear you there! New bikes can't ever seem to come fast enough. I'm riding a versys x 300 right now, would swap it out for a yamaha tenere 700 if the Norden series wasn't on the way. As it is i'll wait till it come out and see if the Norden address' the current short comings of the tenere 700 (down pipes, the seat doesn't look like it would hold up to hours on the road, and still heavier than what i want off road).

I also drool over Husqvarnas 701, a superior dirt machine, but lacking in highway comfort with that seat. There is a nicely kitted one for sale nearby, but again.. the Norden is coming, and i don't want to part with near $10K until i know for sure

Hi, I am in the midst of a mid life crisis that is Adventure riding, as much Offroad as possible. My current steed is BMW R1250GS looking to broaden my experience with our bikes. The Norden 901 looks and sounds ideal. Can’t wait to part with some cash.

I’m in the same boat... R1200 GS and 350 EXC-F for sale and a deposit down with the dealer for a 901.

Going to slap down a deposit tomorrow at my local Canadian dealer and bike will be into the dealer in January but of course no riding in the Great White North lol. Very excited, my first adventure bike
