The ergonomics are carefully designed for long journeys in the Norden 901. The comfortable rider position allows a relaxed posture that reduces fatigue on extended trips. Wind protection is effective thanks to a mid-height front screen. Some say, that the airflow can be felt on the shoulders due to the openings on the front of the bike, but basically is part of the Scandinavian looks the bike has. Engine and Performance Equipped with an 889 cc parallel-twin engine, the Norden 901 delivers 105 hp at 8,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 100 Nm at 6,500 rpm (lamoto.com.ar). This engine, adapted to Euro 5+ regulations, offers a vigorous response across a wide range of revolutions. The presence of the Easy Shift system allows smooth and precise gear changes, enhancing the riding experience. In terms of fuel consumption, the Norden 901 demonstrates efficiency. During intensive tests, an average consumption of 5 liters per 100 km was recorded, which, combined with its 19-liter fuel tank, provides a theoretical range of approximately 422 km.  Chassis and Suspension The bike features a chromium-molybdenum steel tubular frame, complemented by a bolted steel subframe. The WP APEX suspension, with a 43 mm inverted fork and 220 mm travel at the front, and a monoshock with 215 mm travel at the rear, is fully adjustable, allowing customized settings according to the rider’s preferences and terrain conditions. This configuration ensures stable and precise handling both on asphalt and off-road terrain. The firmness of the suspension prevents excessive dive during hard braking, maintaining stability and control at all times. Off-Road Capabilities Although the Norden 901 is not exclusively designed for extreme off-road conditions, its performance on gravel roads and light trails is remarkable. The standing riding position is comfortable, and the suspension effectively absorbs terrain irregularities. The Offroad riding mode allows controlled slides by modifying traction control and ABS intervention, providing a more dynamic riding experience on unpaved roads. Braking System Safety is a priority in the Norden 901. Equipped with brakes manufactured by the Spanish company J.Juan, it features dual 320 mm front discs with four-piston radial-mounted calipers and a 260 mm rear disc with a dual-piston caliper. The Bosch 9.1 MP ABS system with cornering assistance, along with the lean-angle-sensitive Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC), ensures efficient and safe braking in various riding conditions. In summary, The Husqvarna Norden 901 presents itself as a versatile adventure motorcycle, combining attractive design, solid performance, and capabilities both on and off the road. While some users have reported specific issues, the overall experience suggests that, with proper maintenance, the Norden 901 offers a rewarding and reliable riding experience.

Georges Regner, a 75-year-old Swiss man, is living proof that it’s never too late to fulfill your dreams. Throughout his life, Georges devoted himself to music, playing an active role in prestigious conservatories in Switzerland. His musical career brought him countless joys, but he never set aside another great passion of his: motorcycles. This year, he decided to fulfill a dream he had cherished for decades—a grand motorcycle journey through Latin America, starting in beautiful Ecuador. Georges reached out to Ecuador Bike Rental to rent a Honda XRE 300 and explore the magical landscapes of the country. From the very beginning, he shared his ultimate dream with us: to travel from Ecuador all the way to Patagonia, Argentina. Our team, led by our CEO, Davos Garcés, got to work to help him plan his journey and ensure that his experience in Ecuador and South America would be unforgettable. However, upon arriving in the country, Georges faced an unexpected obstacle: the airline lost his luggage, including an essential medication. This setback forced him to return urgently to Switzerland while the luggage was located. But Georges did not give up. He gathered everything necessary for his trip and, a week later, returned to Ecuador, ready to begin his adventure. Thanks to our partnerships with local hotels and operators, we were able to reschedule his stays and activities, ensuring Georges didn’t miss out on any of Ecuador’s wonders. Over ten days, he explored some of the country’s most iconic places: The Quilotoa Lake Nestled in the Ecuadorian Andes, this volcanic crater lake is a must-see destination. Georges was captivated by the turquoise hues of the water and the panoramic views of the crater. Puerto López and Isla de la Plata On the Pacific coast, Georges visited Puerto López, enjoying the serene sea and exploring Isla de la Plata. Known as the “little Galápagos,” this destination amazed him with its biodiversity. Cuenca Ecuador’s colonial gem showcased its historic architecture, cobblestone streets, and the warmth of its people. Georges also savored local cuisine and immersed himself in Ecuadorian culture. Other Wonders During his journey, Georges ventured through the highlands, valleys, and coast, marveling at landscapes that blend mountains, beaches, and jungles. Each stop was an opportunity to learn more about Ecuador’s diversity and strengthen his determination to continue southward. Georges’ enthusiasm for fulfilling his dream is truly inspiring. He didn’t let challenges, such as losing his luggage or having to return to Switzerland, deter him. Instead of becoming frustrated, he prepared with renewed energy and returned to Ecuador determined to enjoy every moment. Thanks to his tireless spirit and the support of our team, Georges completed his journey through Ecuador with a smile of satisfaction and the certainty that dreams can come true at any age. Before leaving, he thanked us for making an important part of his great adventure a reality and assured us that he is ready to continue to Patagonia. From Ecuador Bike Rental, we wish Georges the best of luck on his journey southward. We are confident that his passion for motorcycles and his determination will see him achieve his dream of reaching Patagonia. Georges left us with not only a lesson in perseverance but also, a reminder that it’s never too late to venture out and live new experiences. Stories like Georges Regner’s inspire us to keep offering unforgettable experiences to our customers. We are honored to have been part of his journey and to have helped him discover the wonders of Ecuador on two wheels. To all our customers, we say: never stop dreaming and living adventures, because age is just a number, and dreams have no expiration date.

The motorcycle adventure through Ecuador not only offers breathtaking landscapes and adrenaline-filled routes, but it also provides the opportunity for Charitable Efforts on the Road: Supporting Schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi and connecting with local communities, many of which are located in the mountains or remote rural areas. During our tours through Cangaua and Oyacachi, we realized that these places offer more than just nature to discover: rural schools working hard to educate children from low-income families. These communities are part of the landscape we explore, and we want to give something back to them. With this purpose in mind, we launched a donation campaign with the commitment to allocate 10% of our annual gross revenue as a company to support foundations or schools in need. Last month, thanks to the generosity of a friend of our company, the collaboration of our customers, and everyone’s effort in the campaign, we were able to gather a significant amount of resources. And we achieved one of our goals: to provide concrete help to two schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi, and one children care center in the south of Quito. A Purposeful Journey These two communities are located near routes that, as a motorcycle tour company, we know very well. Cangaua and Oyacachi are stops we often make with our tourists, who come to experience the thrill of riding through rural roads and enjoying Ecuador’s natural beauty. However, during these visits, we don’t just admire the scenery; we also observe the needs of the people living there. That’s how we identified these two schools. The schools, with limited resources, opened our eyes to the importance of investing in their education and future. In each one, the teachers dedicate their lives to education, despite the lack of infrastructure, teaching materials, and basic equipment. The children, always smiling, welcomed us on several occasions, and we could see firsthand what they needed to improve their education. We decided we had to do more than just pass by; we wanted our presence to leave a positive mark. The Donation Campaign: A Collective Effort Our donation campaign was born from the idea that we can all contribute to the well-being of the communities we encounter on our journeys. We established a clear plan: 10% of all our annual revenue from motorcycle tours would be allocated to charitable causes, with a particular focus on children’s education and supporting foundations that work with low-income children. The idea resonated not only within our team but also with our customers, who felt part of this purpose knowing that their motorcycle adventures would also contribute to the development of local communities. Throughout the year, we started organizing events and meetings to raise funds. We also promoted the campaign through our social media and among our close friends. It was precisely thanks to a friend of the company, whose generous donation added to the collective effort, that we were able to gather resources. With these funds, we set out to support the two schools in Cangaua and Oyacachi. Delivery of Materials: A Special Day The highlight came last week when, after several months of planning, we loaded our 4×4 trucks not only with adventure gear but also with essential school supplies for the children. Among the items we delivered were speakers for an audiovisual hall, notebooks, planners, and a variety of stationery that the schools needed to continue operating effectively. The delivery was an emotional experience. Upon arriving at the schools, we were welcomed by the teachers, who were visibly moved and thanked us repeatedly for the help, explaining that these materials would allow them to improve the quality of education and offer more resources to the students. One of the most special moments was when we handed over 3 sets of speakers for different ambiances. The teachers explained that with this equipment, they could conduct more interactive and dynamic activities with the children. From playing educational audio and video to organizing presentations and community events, the impact of these speakers went far beyond what we imagined. It filled us with joy to know that something as simple as a speaker could make a difference in the children’s school life. Impact and Future Our experience in Cangaua and Oyacachi was a reminder of what truly matters. We realized that, as a company, we have a responsibility that goes beyond offering unforgettable motorcycle experiences. We are committed to the well-being of the communities we visit on our routes, and we will continue to seek ways to support them. In the future, we plan to expand this initiative and reach more rural schools and foundations in other parts of Ecuador. We want this to be a long-term commitment to the local communities, using our resources and network to make a real difference. Additionally, we want to invite more people to join this effort. Our customers, friends, and collaborators can continue to participate in our donation campaign, and with their help, we will be able to continue providing support where it is most needed. Education is key to the development of any society, and we firmly believe that investing in children’s education is an investment in a better future for all. Our next goal is to continue raising funds and organizing more visits to other schools in need of support. The smiles of the children, the gratitude of the teachers, and the feeling of doing something good are the best incentives to keep going. Exploring Ecuador on a Self-Guided Motorcycle Tour Ecuador is a motorcyclist’s paradise, offering diverse landscapes and incredible routes. So, here are some must-see destinations to explore on your self-guided motorcycle tour: A Journey with Impact This journey to the schools of Cangaua and Oyacachi showed us a new way of traveling and viewing our routes. What started as a motorcycle adventure has transformed into a mission to support local communities and children who need more opportunities to learn and grow. The donation of speakers, notebooks, planners, and stationery is just the beginning.

In the world of motorcycle tourism, influencers play a crucial role by sharing their adventures, expertise, and passion for motorcycles with a global audience. These content creators have not only inspired others to explore the world on two wheels but have also transformed how motorcyclists discover new routes and destinations. Here, we delve into the beginnings, careers, and current status of five of the most prominent influencers in motorcycle tourism. These are the 5 most famous motorcycle tourism influencers 1. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. Ewan McGregor, widely known for his acting career, and Charley Boorman, a British adventurer and author, gained fame through their motorcycle documentary series. Their first project, “Long Way Round” (2004), captured their epic journey from London to New York, crossing Europe and Asia. This series not only catapulted both adventurers into the spotlight as motorcycle tourism influencers but also demonstrated how combining celebrity status with a love for motorcycles can capture the public’s imagination. In 2007, McGregor and Boorman embarked on “Long Way Down,” a sequel to their previous adventure, taking them from Scotland to South Africa. Their third series, “Long Way Up” (2020), documented their ride from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Los Angeles on electric motorcycles. Each of these journeys has been praised not only for its thrilling content but also for addressing sustainability and the importance of responsible adventure. Today, McGregor and Boorman remain influential figures in motorcycle tourism.

Rossi, hailing from Italy, started his motorcycle career at a young age and quickly made a name for himself in international racing. His riding style and charismatic personality made him a legend in road racing. Although Rossi is best known for his racing achievements, his transition to motorcycle tourism began with his retirement from professional racing. His passion for exploring new routes and sharing his experiences on a motorcycle led him to start his own YouTube channel and participate in motorcycle tourism events. Rossi has also launched his own line of motorcycle apparel and accessories, further extending his influence in the motorcycle tourism community. Valentino Rossi remains an iconic figure in both motorcycle racing and tourism. While he has stepped back from competitive racing, he continues to be a prominent presence in the motorcycle world through his social media accounts and personal brand.
