A love letter: Husqvarna 701 Svartpilen ownership review and why I decided to sell mine.

[@bigdaveliddle]

I was able to find my Svart701 at a dealership whose owner's son held onto it with the intent to buy for himself for a couple years, but ended up putting it on the sales floor. Have put 8000 miles on it in under a year, and have loved every bit of it. I can imagine how much it must have hurt to let it go, because I can't imagine ever parting with mine. I'll pour a shot of oil out in honor of your loss. But on a a higher note, congrats on soon becoming a dad! : D

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

That’s fantastic, I’m glad to hear others are having as great an experience with the svart701s! I hope you never have to sell yours and I hope eventually I can purchase another. Thanks you!! I’m thrilled to be a dad. Also thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@Cole_Gorton]

Congratulations on the baby! Cant wait for some new videos! Keep it up

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Thanks for watching!! I got more on the way hopefully we will be up this weekend!

I have mine since 2019 august 40000km on it, twice from Portugal to Switzerland winter snow rain it makes it all, love mine will never sold it unless …..

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Awesome to hear you still love it!

[@chuckcribbs3398]

It will be my next bike, and I’ll have to buy it used. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the Svartpilen 701. I want one very badly. Hopefully soon!

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

I genuinely hope you can experience it soon! I still haven’t gotten over it. As bike designed to rip and around and ride for the sake of riding it really is amazing. I plan to buy another in the future.

I have a 2020 Vit 701 with the same exhaust. I put the Coober ECU on it and it really smoothed out the throttle. Love my Husky!

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

I am very jealous! I miss mine everyday. I have a less exciting mid size naked bike now that I plan to make some comparison videos with later. I do plan to get another husky in the future though!

[@TheSpaceBorn]

@@CaffeinatedCruiser I just picked up an xsr900 as a second bike. What a beauty! Looking forward to some more content.

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

@TheSpaceBorn that’s awesome! Which model year?

[@TheSpaceBorn]

@@CaffeinatedCruiser 2023 in legend blue. It’s amazing!

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Oh awesome!! I’d love to take a ride on one of those

[@C64SX]

Yeah, never selling mine unless forced to. Got the 2020 as well, only extras are heated grips, tank bag and a fueling dongle (made a world of difference below 4k rpm). I love the handling, the engine, the low weight, the simplicity, and of course the design. I did remove the rear fairing, it made the bike a bit too square in my eyes. Sorry you had to sell yours, but a baby is a nice replacement ;) Cheers!

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Sounds like you got yours set up very well! It really is a phenomenal bike, I miss it all the time. I’m hoping I can scoop up another in the future. I really do miss ripping around on it. Haha that’s true! And I have another bike I haven’t made a video on yet.

[@C64SX]

@@CaffeinatedCruiser That's nice, looking forward to a vid about it! Best of luck to you and your family :)

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate the kind words. Ride safe my friend!

[@satur9satur9]

Part time job? Less stress for me involves riding my svartpilen.

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Riding a motorcycle is the best stress reliever. Maybe if enough people watch my videos KZbin can be my part time job lol

[@ehiggins7476]

What relay did you use for the LED turn signals? I installed LEDs on mine and the flashing rate is really fast

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

I think mine hade the hyper flash as well. Truthfully it didn’t bother me though so I never tried to change it. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful

[@asterix908]

you really need to use the mic clip. the audio level isn't consistent, as you move around.

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep working on it :)

[@sv7017]

I checked your channel and you have literally no video about this bike. So why are you pretending it was well known for your followers?

[@CaffeinatedCruiser]

My channel is brand new, unfortunately I don’t have much content on anything. However I was hoping anyone interested in buying one or that currently owns one would find the video interesting. Thanks for the comment, hopefully more videos to come as well as some comparisons against the Svart701.
