Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 2024

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 is a sporty naked bike with modern Advanced Rider Assistance Systems that shines particularly well on winding roads. Its lively engine and firm suspension make it agile and dynamic, but somewhat demanding on long lengths. For riders looking for a retro look with modern technology and sporty riding performance, it is an exciting but demanding choice.

Great two-cylinder engine with power in all situations

outstanding electronics for the class (partly at extra charge)

Quickshifter standard

good workmanship

coherent overall package

low fuel consumption

visual highlights (rear frame, exhaust)

good price-performance ratio

agile handling

windshield only visual, no functional wind protection

only one colour variant available

Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a true highlight of the 2018 season. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also something to behold. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of fun on the road. However, the engine needs revs and not everyone will like the riding position. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. But if you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.

Fantastic design

powerful engine

quickshifter with blipper function

competent chassis

sporty seating position

low weight.

uncomfortable seating position

must be driven above 3,000 rpm

probably uncomfortable on long journeys
