Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 2021

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 inherits many components from its big 401 sister and the engine from the KTM 125 Duke. The components imported from the 401 are of high quality, but also make the bike quite heavy (for a 125). Nevertheless, it is a lot of fun, especially the Supermoto mode brings out the inner child. With its seating position, classy looks and higher weight, it is more something for individualists than for hobby racers. If you are looking for a unique A1 bike that feels and looks like a full-fledged motorbike, the Svartpilen 125 is a hot candidate.

Very beautiful appearance with many nice details

Top chassis

Top brakes

Standard tyres offer excellent grip on the asphalt despite lug profile

Everyday suitability fully ok

Fun Supermoto mode awakens the inner child

Pleasantly upright seating position

Highest weight in the 125cc class

ground clearance too low for real off-road use

round LCD display already a bit dusty and not very elegant

Honda CB500F 2018

Even after a few years in production, Honda manages to keep the CB 500 F fresh. With LEDs in the front and rear and a revised engine, the naked bike remains a great A2 motorbike tip. Its grown-up appearance gives it a real big-bike feel, which means it doesn't have to hide at all. It could only be better if it had a gear indicator.
