Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 review

We take an in-depth look at the new 2021 version of the Svartpilen 125 from Husqvarna, quite possibly one of the highest spec factory 125cc motorcycles you'll find.

This is the nicest 125 I've seen, damn!

[@arijeetbhattacharya9787]

This bike's being Manufactured in India but is not being sold in India yet ;-;

[@alexrawson356]

Seen one of these in person and looks amazing I genuinely thought it was a big cc machine

[@lonenoname9792]

There are different cc ranges

[@dave1secondago]

its like a work of art and it looks bigger than a 125

[@hamillsvideo-businessboost301]

Really great and informative review mate!

[@BigSinsley]

Thanks mate great review - very interested in one of these bikes, the styling and quality are really something when you see it in person. Subbed!

[@amitacharya8167]

Wait a minute... 'Svartpilen' means 'Black Arrow'? ... I thought it meant 'Fart Pill' ... You know, like it's a fast beginner 125cc bike that will solve any new rider's constipation problems... Well ... I learned something today ... Great review. Thanks!

[@pBruantt]

I really hope Bajaj is able to read this message. If they are able to launch a 150cc instead of 125cc, among the 150cc segment bikes, this brand will explode the market. They don't have to make it obvious that it has a KTM engine, they should get innovative and launch a 150cc instead and price it 10k more if required.

[@thecoincollector1]

great nice video man can't decide between husqvarna or KTM 🤔

[@Neutral_ilja]

Спасибо за обзор! Из за этого обзора я решил купить себе этот мотоцикл. Выбирал между Yamaha XSR125 & Honda Cb125R. Но как увидел этот, то сразу влюбился :)

[@DrLevinson]

у меня такой же выбор стоит примерно, и как впечатления? я немного расстроился узнав, что это дорогой европейский клон индийского байка

[@Neutral_ilja]

@@DrLevinson Мот для людей НЕ ВЫШЕ 175 см. и это прям макс. Он в реале капец какой короткий и низкий, выглядит как практически питбайк. Я как сел со своими 192 см. и друзья до слёз рыдали в салоне. Купил себе Aprilia RX 125 и не могу нарадоваться гоняя по лесу или грунтовкам. Советую глянуть ещё Benelli Leoncino 125 (можно потом в тот мот вставить 250 кубов голову не меняя сцепление и ездить с А1 или Б правами) в реале очень стильный. Или Benelli BN 125 выглядит спортивно и стильно. Но честно скажу - если бы не микро размер Хускварны, то я бы сразу его взял и на цену не посмотрел, хотя был жёсткий лимит.

[@DrLevinson]

@@Neutral_ilja спасибище! Я тоже по видео сомневался в его размере. С одной стороны мне вместо 50 кубиков в Автодом пихать, но с другой стороны сзади иногда ребенка возить, да если ещё с рюкзаком после школы. И как априлия ? В городе не сильно стрёмно от резины злой? Хотя по видео у нее не сильно злая с завода идёт. У меня в196 и с одной стороны смущает садиться на мотики 16летних пацанов, с другой стороны в Германии просто так в лес не выехать, и вот метаюсь между вариантами. Новые сейчас гляну!

[@Neutral_ilja]

@@DrLevinson Aprilia RX 125 1 из самых больших 125к. Я на нём сижу и еле пятками обоих ног достаю до земли, по асфальту 90 км/час. спокойно еду, резина злая как кросс мото и торможу передним ABS тормозом. Когда еду по дорогам общего пользования со мной все байкеры здороваются как с большим :) Но если больше по городу и грунтовкам немного, то лучше посмотрите другой.

[@DrLevinson]

@@Neutral_ilja Aprilia SX 125, брат в городском обличье. Если по сухому выехать в лес где-то, то почему нет

[@tombush2680]

can you change the units to mph?

[@davelee88]

This or the yam xsr? Maintenance, which would be cheaper?

[@iancberry]

Having just obtained my CBT last week I’m looking for my first bike, I’ve narrowed it down to two! This one and the Mutt Akita, I appreciate they’re two completely different bikes but as a 43yr old newbie I want something a bit bigger so I don’t look like Bowser on mariokart 🤣 which would you recommend & why?

[@markbailey769]

I’m a 43yr old newbie aswel and same thoughts as you. Mutt motorcycle or Husqvarna… ended up with the Husqvarna. Feels and looks a bit more solid. Also brought a little benelli 125

[@iancberry]

@@markbailey769 haha glad to see I’m not alone in my thinking 😂. In the end I decided to go for the Mutt, I love the Husqvarna but the main reasoning for the mutt is I have a dealer within 10 miles of my house whereas the Husqvarna dealer is about an hour and a half drive away. I’m sure they’ll both be great bikes which put a smile on our faces, I take delivery of my bike this coming Saturday. I also like the look of the Benneli! However I think I’ll give myself a few years riding before upgrading to a larger sports bike which will suit my larger frame 😂

[@MrSharpe95]

I'd say go for the husq . Mutt is under powered and overpriced.

[@iancberry]

@@MrSharpe95 you were right, I didn’t end up keeping it long, I upgraded to a HD883 and I’ve upgraded again last week to a HD Lowrider S 😂

[@tetiraelian]

Yamaha XSR 125. You can't go wrong with this one. Grown up stylish look and very quick for a 125 (76 MPH is my personal top speed on mine).

[@kuttalu]

is it lighter than duke 125 ?

[@idreesnihad]

Mileage/litre?

[@sombathado]

Oil consumption is high ?

[@JoepvandenHeuvel1977]

I'm 1m93 cm and wondering if this bike also works for taller people. What is your lenght?

[@samuelcripps1892]

Im the same height and i have this bike. Its very comfortable

[@benjaminmartinsen587]

Hello! Does this one have a slipper clutch?

[@MotoGBofficial]

Not on the 125

[@thegreatpretender4197]

Is a slipper clutch also known as a wet clutch?

I am 186cm tall, 100kg, looking for large size 125cc bike. Will svartpillen be ok for me?

[@oscardominguez1680]

Same as you. Fine for you, but passenger forget it

[@jackvliet]

Is this grom size or closer to normal size?

[@MotoGBofficial]

Its normal size for a 125, its not small like the Grom

[@sombathado]

I heard about heat issue ..! Do you have heat issue ? 🙏🏻

[@kaatlungahatchi_7853]

Milage per liter and is tyre tubeless ??

[@MotoGBofficial]

Yes the tyres are tubeless, as with most 4 stroke 125's you can expect 80-100+ MPG depending on riding style

[@kaatlungahatchi_7853]

@@MotoGBofficial I never thought tubeless tyre combination with Spock wheels , but thanks for clearing my doubt and thanks for your reply

[@evooken1624]

Is this the same size as mt-125 and duke?

[@mmcengineer1025]

it is a 125 duke

[@GrimReader]

It’s the expense that gets me. 4K plus for a 125 is still excessive I get they’re more in demand but it’s just off

[@MotoGBofficial]

Lots of 125's fall into the 4k and above category these days and with the rising costs of manufacturing and shipping we can expect to see more and more 125's fall into this category. While some may see them as expensive the premium bikes do tend to hold value more than the cheaper budget bikes, so by the time you come to sell them on it somewhat balances out vs buying a cheaper bike in the first place.

[@GrimReader]

@@MotoGBofficial I get all that but it is meant to be in theory your bike until you go up to a bigger model and you cant tell me you see a 125 at 5K alongside a model that is 800cc for 4K and not get an instinctual tug that something is amiss here because you are getting less bike at 125. Plus as to selling it on, majority of learners are not going to be able to buy outright at 4K so would just be selling back to the dealer then the cycle starts all over again.

[@MotoGBofficial]

@@GrimReader You'd be surprised how many mature 125 riders there are, who have ridden 125's for years with no intention to move on to anything bigger. Its not just 17-18 years olds who ride them. That aside its supply and demand the manufacturers simply wouldn't produce bikes like this if they didn't sell.

[@GrimReader]

@@MotoGBofficial Again I know, I'm just giving my opinion a friend of mine is on the shorter side and has been driving for 16 years with no interest in going higher than 125. And bit too pro business for my liking there, they produce and price the bikes like this because sometimes you've no options. The days of getting a used 125 for like 900 is long gone and sometimes area dependant you've no option but dealerships so they can charge higher for less

Looks amazing and for just £3.7k new?! That's very compelling. Yes the fastest on the market is the KTM RC125 but do you really want to pay almost £2k more for something that's completely impractical and slightly faster?

Hi James, we don't mention prices in the videos as prices can change which makes the video out of date but if you check the links in the description it will take you to one of the dealer websites which will have the current up to date price

[@callumboothroyd3766]

Personally this is a duke 125 with difference dash and styling. Same forks, shock, engine, pre silencer, brakes. And let's not forget they're made in the same factory with the same components.

[@PEACEPISTONS]

Yes its based on a Duke but a frame and running gear doth not make a motorcycle, there are several key differences, Seating position, handle bar style, ECU mapping, brake discs, wheels, tyres, bodywork, speedo, radiator, exhaust. Lighting, switch gear, without going into all the tiny little components there are more differences than there are similarities. At the end of the day KTM and Husky are the same manufacturer

[@callumboothroyd3766]

@@PEACEPISTONS yup completely agree, but the similarities are very noticable

[@Jafmanz]

KTM bought Husqvarna. they also bought Sinnis.

[@callumboothroyd3766]

@@Jafmanz when did they buy sinnis? Can't find anything about that..

[@thecoincollector1]

would you rather this or the Duke 125 ??

[@markleitch9932]

lets call a spade a spade here its basically a 2021 125 KTM duke underneath with some changes.

[@MotoGBofficial]

Based on the Duke yes, but quite a considerable difference in spec, and totally different styling. To say its just a Duke is not doing it justice.

[@1888gdawg]

KTM own husqvarna

[@waynecharlton954]

I've made a big mistake buying svartpilen 125cc the seat is far to high come off the bike a good few times don't make the mistake I made the seat height is 835mill why on Earth do ktm make motorbikes this high is just crazy it's not been thought out regarding small people I'm 5 8

[@waynecharlton954]

All might not be lost don't want to lower the bike I've found some boots Daytona gtx sport boots with a heel height off 6 cm or 2 inch and 3/8
