Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 2025

Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 2025

The Vitpilen 801 sets visual accents that clearly distinguish it from the Svartpilen. The bi-LED projection headlight is surrounded by halo LED daytime running lights, giving the front end a more modern look. In addition, the aluminium tubular handlebars have been mounted lower and further towards the front wheel, making the ergonomics more active and sporty. The manifold fairing extends further down and gives the look an additional touch of sportiness. Compared to the previous "701" generation, the new Vitpilen is far less radical and much more suitable for everyday use. The in-line two-cylinder engine, which is already familiar from other Pierer Group models, offers a great riding pleasure experience. The engine's smooth throttle response and revviness are particularly successful. A great engine for the country road! The quickshifter from the accessories is definitely an absolute recommendation. If you also add the optional cruise control and heated grips, the 801 Vitpilen is a great companion for everyday use and travelling. For the latter, it is not only absolutely suitable due to the relaxed knee angle and good seating comfort, the low fuel consumption is also a positive feature.

With its successful revisions and cheeky look, the new Hornet is very appealing without being too aggressive. Only the display looks a little out of place in the otherwise harmonious design and the rear silencer will be recognised from a distance even by the short-sighted among us, Euro5+ sends its regards. But thanks to the Honda accessories catalogue, these visual conspicuousnesses can also be remedied with an additional windscreen that better integrates the display and a slim SC-Project silencer. And at the fighting price of €11,990 or €13,990 for the SP, the new Hornisse will be a serious contender in the battle for buyers' favour, as it has hardly any rivals in terms of price/performance ratio.
