Long known for serious off-road machines, the formerly Swedish, now Italian, but BMW-owned manufacturer, is coming back to the street in a bold way while still recognizing its MX and enduro heritage. The company debuted its new Nuda 900 and 900R models in Milan. Supermoto-like, with an off-road riding position, longer travel suspension and a narrow, parallel-twin powerplant, either Nuda (“naked” in Italian) is built for serious backroad fun, commuting, and even some light touring with an optional luggage and wind screen package.

The R model features more sporting-oriented suspension and brake components, as well as Husky’s famed red and white racing colors covering the angular bodywork.
