Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 review | MCN | Motorcyclenews.com

[@Gautam454]

Michael Neeves has to be one of the best motorcycle reviewers on youtube! So articulate!

[@jimbo1485]

G couldn’t agree more. He is the best motorcycle journalist I have ever seen.

[@silasvongsamath6500]

Short, sweet, and to the point! This was the shortest review in English out of all of the Svartpilen 701 reviews so far lol.

[@Arcadiality]

Thanks for this review. Consequently I'm eager to demo a Vit 701, I love that bikes look. This isn't too far from that but I'm still with the Vit 701. I'm on a CB500 currently so thinking it's a nice jump upwards.

[@foolspeedahead]

I bought this bike for my wife (myself once in awhile) because of this review. I have serious bikes, but you get to a point where they are too business oriented and not as much fun.

[@ChronicTHCBlaze]

I love this channel, nothing but respect for Michael neeves, but why does this channel have such low subscribers? U deserve at least 1 million subscribers, your content is superb!! 💟

[@MotoMichelle]

Agree :)

Saw you and Al thrashing about together! Good stuff...

[@CampbellZeroOne]

Love the styling on these new Husqvarna👌🏼

[@naalsoegat]

Hop would you May it compares to the duke? Smiles-wise?

[@JoeGuinan-jz8iq]

Adverts at the end of videos always annoy me. Except for the yourubers I love

[@bigbaux4721]

Joe Guinan 1916 ikr? Like they’re of less consequence compared to ads at the beginning yet they’re more irritating.

[@JoeGuinan-jz8iq]

@@bigbaux4721 fact! Trickery at the end of the video. It irritates me cos I always think there's more to the video. I suppose that's why they are there. The ads that make the most money are the ones you can skip.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Excellent bike. I'd buy one. But then there's the MT-07 which with a couple grand on suspension/brake upgrades, is still less money.

[@shizloner]

then the mt-o7 would still not be as fun as this bike and worth less money second hand...

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@shizloner Whether or not something is fun is entirely up to the individual.

[@ghowells5433]

Great review. I t st rode one alongside a 790 duke and loved it, put down a deposit pick up next week. Thanks for review otherwise would have gone for duke

[@madsoothsayer]

What made you choose this over the 790 Duke?

[@ghowells5433]

@@madsoothsayer hi, tried the 790 and was great fun but the Svartpilen felt more quality finish and just really enjoyed the big single

[@1990-t1j]

Intriguingly styled bike. Do I prefer it to the 701SM? Time will tell. Good review.

[@ashishavin8748]

Check out Marlon's take on this bike. Pretty funny.

[@Balunliinfi]

They don't have 401 for 2019?

[@braxtinbrown3369]

Would you reccomend this for someone who stands 195cm

[@foolspeedahead]

Braxtin Brown I just did the conversion and I’m 189cm. I had to tiptoe before the suspension settled, but now I can flat foot. Everything else ergo-wise is fine at my height too.

[@Greblit]

Svaartpillen and vittpillen :'D Awsome review but that made me crack up!

[@SleipnirADV]

Hasskewaarna Swaartpillen 🥴

[@unenthusiast]

This or an MT09-SP though?

[@jazzboy]

XSR900

[@JimmySlacksack]

needs spoked wheels like he 401

[@whylie74]

The first thing I noticed was the after thought of a clock, spoils the look for me, it's like an enormous black skintag just begging to be cut off.

[@Soulbreeze]

It's a pretty jarring aesthetic piece compared to the rest of the bike. It just sticks out and looks odd.

[@oo8663]

Dat look good.

[@bigred8438]

But is it more fun than you would get from a KTM 690?

[@sometimesitstays]

Yes the suspension is miles better and it looks better

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Why's this better than the Vitpilen 701?

[@midlifebiker7424]

More comfortable riding position and easier to manoeuvre through traffic.

[@carlickio]

What does the dog think?

[@jazzboy]

At it's asking price I can't why someone would buy it over an XSR900.

[@nolongerinuse488]

A little more clean in the sense of having to slowly make changes to clean it up, Husky is there. There’s not much you have to do to it to make it cleaner.

[@stanleyknife1967]

Prefer the look of the Vitpilen.

[@spoorjason]

This is an advert not a review :-(

[@GRIPWOLRD]

I sometimes wish the reviews were a bit more critical. Its an expensive bike for what is a poor spec sheet. Basic (non-TFT dash), no electric settings or adjustability, and for the price you can get a lot more. The bike may be fantastic to ride but the price has to be compared against with competitors which can offer a lot more, even KTM with their 790 Duke.

[@evoermine]

Grip Wolrd - he stated near the end that it’s not a lot of bike for the money.

[@ghowells5433]

Paid £6500 for a 2020 50 Miles demo bike from dealer

[@even1007]

€：8000 ？

[@trannersawrus2398]

Looks like a Dogs dinner.

[@retromojo1]

so glad I didnt buy this bike, bought a suzuki gsxs 750. way more power and cheaper

[@pippiperade4030]

Light, powerful, high seat height - what's not to like? Sorry, Husqvarna, but the styling.. ..

[@garyinkin4834]

Without a doubt the ugliest bike I've seen in years, rotten style, terrible random body lines, bland bland and even more bland! Wouldn't be seen dead on it! . . . . A 5yr old could've designed better.
