Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna Norden 901 2022

During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine response

Linear rev range

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

High level of travel comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

Accessible but at the same time exciting character

Good wind and weather protection

Tough

Reliable even on long tours

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after cold start

Low flywheel mass, keeps dying off

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.
