2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 Review

[@leward]

I really hope Husky makes one of these with the 1390 engine 🤤

[@nicodiaz627]

This will be my next bike. God willing.

[@charlies_ears]

when you can’t decide between a Bonneville and a Street Triple

[@nicodiaz627]

I was thinking the same thing... good eye!

[@bikerbeliever8169]

Cant wait for this one. Finally in the US!!! Want thia bike!!!

[@yohanyonsson]

I’m 900km in on mine. Love it so far!

[@AKTANEARCADE]

Can I get ANY of these new bikes without a TFT tablet screen. Can I just get gauges.. please 😢

[@Not2Day117]

check out the kawasaki z900rs. Still has a small tft display but with real guages for speedo and tach

[@viperq]

Triumph Speed twins.

[@AKTANEARCADE]

@@viperq yeah my wife and I ride triumph because the bikes still look and sound good and have proper gauges and not ipads

[@teethhuller8275]

While obviously not a tourer, how long could you imagine riding per day?

[@Jake.r606]

Fairly tall? How tall exactly

[@Rainan8]

Idont like the price for a 790 ktm, don’t like the tank it’s cheap material! Yamaha mt09 11k € much better choice!

[@yohanyonsson]

The 801 has different specs than the 790, they are not comparable as if they are the same bike. The 801 has the Duke 990 suspension and isn’t made in China.

[@Rainan8]

@@yohanyonsson the motor is made in China, cf moto and Build in Austria. In Germany with shipping costs and dynamic pack 12€

[@yohanyonsson]

@@Rainan8 It’s more expensive here in Sweden. I bought one anyway. Comparing it to the 790 isn’t a fair comparison.

[@jimboulter3615]

What’s not so cool is that it’s £3500 more than the Duke 790. I owned the Svartpilen and Vitpilen 701. But secondhand, new they were too expensive. The last one failed due to pricing it’s going to happen again.

[@RobertDodge]

I totally agree Jim Ive just sold my 701 Svartpilen (21 Plate Style version in Bronze) I can forsee the 801 going the same way the 701s did give it a year and they will heavily discount them as they did the previous model as nobody will buy one. Then I may consider one.

[@AnythingEvil78]

@@RobertDodge Ditto, I have a 401 & a Nuda 900R but only bought them on runout sale. I'll probably do the same on one of these, probably will be about the time I'm ready to move the Nuda on . . .

[@andersjansson8577]

It should be a thumper...
