Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2020

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is still a true highlight among light, handy motorbikes because of its unrivalled characteristics. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also impressive. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of joy on the road. However, the engine needs revs and the seating position will not please everyone. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. If you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
