Husqvarna was acquired by BMW in 2008, having previously belonged to the Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta. Despite the challenges posed by the global economic downturn, BMW invested significantly in the development and enhancement of the Husqvarna brand. This investment led to the introduction of several new road and off-road motorcycles, replacing the older models. Among these was the Nuda 900, recognized for its aggressive design and powerful performance, which achieved a reasonable level of market success.
