Finally I’ve been dying for Husqvarna to produce this

i still love the 701 the best tbh. and would love to see them go for production again

Imagine making your bikes so ugly it justifies the existence of an entire, successful company that basically just restyles them.

Love it. I just really hope for two things: 1. That they make them a little bigger (the 401 and 701 are very small). 2. I hope they fix that abomination of a radiator. That really bothered me on the 701 models but not so much on the 401. Overall I love the husky design and I hope they keep the price down. The launch price for the 701 was 14k!!!!! Great vid btw you should definetly keep us updated on this.

Hopefully they’ll make a 901 Nuda

I ride a vit 401 and damn I want this! I was kinda hoping they’d keep the low clip ons for the vitpilen look. The Svart and Vit are not looking too different now. Also missed opportunity to create a unique TFT circular dash! I always thought the circular dash was a unique design feature on these bikes.

Ive been wanting a Svart for a while now. Was hoping for a 501 with close to the same styling. Love that unique look!!

Love it!!! Perhaps it would have been better to base them on the 790 to keep the price down. The Duke 790 is $9199 and the Duke 890R is $12,949 in the US, regular Duke 890 not sold here. You are absolutely correct about orange and styling of the KTMs. I would not buy one because of that. That being said, these 901s are the greatest looking bikes.

Spot on. The "orangeness " of ktms definitely puts people off. Like me. I'd love an 890r for the road riding I do but can't stomach ktm styling. 900 nude Husky running a 890r motor.... yes please!

Reminds me of the nuda!! Kinda like a replacement of that bike with same engine configuration 270 crank and naked styling. Now all we need is a svartpilen 1301 and the circle is complete.

I have the Svart 401 and would def go with the Svart 901. I'm used to bigger torqy bikes. I love the 401 but it's small.

Been on the 401 Svarty for 3 years, this makes me drool. Had the chance recently to pick up a 701 Vit, and as tempting as that was, I knew something else was coming from Husky... I will say- the 401 is all the bike I personally need, I WANT more everything lol, just to see ;)

As a Vitpilen 401 rider I’d love this to be my next bike.

I would love the 901 I think. I'm actually looking to get something else soon. I've had my Street Triple RS for 3 years, which is amazing, but a 901 twin with a big dirty exhaust and some retro styling could sway me!

Can't wait for this bike. The svartpilen model will be one sweet ride

If it's anything like the Nuda 900 then this will be my next bike. What a time to be alive!

Super happy to see these spy shots! This will be a huge contender in it's category

What about the 501's versions? That would close the gap between the 701s and 401s. It would be great for commuting with a 500ish cc twin

I'd love to swap that headlight housing onto my 701... Glad to see they're continuing this line

Good video. 👍👍 Expecting this new model. Scrambler models from husqvarna are top. I love my Svartpilen 401

Hello Bob! Could it be the 790 engine? Are you sure it's the 890? Well, this is a bike for me! Whether it will be the Svart- or the Vitpilen remains to see. Ergonomics will be the most important feature here since they both are good looking! Thank you mr Bob!

Very cool. I’d have to agree with some of the comments. Yes I would rather own the Svartpilen 701 and Vitpilen 701 over these 901 versions. To be fair though I’m sure they’ll look a lot better painted when they finally come to market. I’m still trying to get my hands on a 2020 Svart 701.

I'd rather have a Svartpilen 701, but I understand your excitement at a 901. The 701 looks a lot better to me. The KTM TFTs are dreadful. I have a 390 Duke. I hate the TFT.

As someone whos been eyeing the Indian FTR Carbon ... I like the look of these overall. If I had to pick one I'd definitely go with the Svartpilen just for the riding position.

I own a Svartpilen and this is huge news for me, especially because Husky ditched the twin-cylinder prototypes for their medium CC segment and I've been considering such brands as Benelli or Triumph when the time to upgrade comes along. These Huskies will be pricey in Latin America but I think they'll be worth the effort.

Wow that bike looks great. I was set on buying a Triumph Trident based on looks but this may be the better buy.

This needs to happen! My 701 Svartpilen is my favorite road bike. It does street stuff incredibly well, has enough power for fun, but not going to prison fun, looks understated so law enforcement doesn’t think you are doing any hooligan stuff and just looks cool.

I would go with the Svartpilen for its scrambler type riding position.

I have sp 401. amazing machine. Husqvarna make very good machines. Now i will buy 901 when release

They could produce an 801 too as per the reissued 790... keeps their options open in a busy market sector. I like it a lot!

I hope 2024 Huqvarna nuda return

Love how these "Spy shots" are always watermarked with 'Motobob'...🤔

Looks very nice. I’d go the Svartpillen with more comfortable ergos

Looking at a bike replacement right now. This is very interesting. Hurry up Husq

HD better make that 975 Bronx or a new XR1250 or I’m buying this!

im excited, been looking at husqy for a minute. all i want them to add is keyless ride.

Oh man !!!!!! I'm gonna go so in debt for this ))))))))))

As I recall, they stopped making the 701 back in early 2021 due to lack of interest but with all the interest in the 401 now, I really hope they bring it back and update it like they've done for the new 2024 Duke 390.

Thank you so much! Looking forward for those new husky’s! Keep doing your amazing work!

Svart 100%. Lovin’ it!

They should do a 801 version for us A2 boys

This is great news! I was waiting for an upsized Vitpilen. Husqvarna can take my money for a 901 Vitpilen right now! Don’t let me wait too long Husqvarna

I have a VIT 701 and totally agree on a TFT dash . This bike will be awesome :)

Svartpilen for me. Sold my 2020 790 Duke due to build quality, durability issues and rock hard seat. I now own a Street Triple R 2022 MY. If they fix these issues on the 901, including hard seat and snatchy 790 throttle, I'm seriously interested. Cheers Scott

what bike would remind you most of a quicksilver shining bullet speeding down the road? I am looking for one, and a full suit like an Arrow in silver ... what brand and models should one look into ?! thanks!

I absolutely loved the idea of the Husqvarna Vitpilan 701 when I was shopping around for a new fun, do it all sort of bike back in 2020. I ultimately went with the BMW F900R because that “do-it-all” also included some moto-camping/touring duties so the twin engine of the Beemer beat out the single. But, fairly recently out of curiosity, I noticed the Husky site no longer displayed the 701 models and only the 401, did they not sell wheel?? In any case, I’d be very interested in a 901 variant with a twin 😁

801 not 901 tho, I wish it was 901 😋 But great video mate 😁🤙🏼

Husqvarna do make some pretty bikes 😍… looking forward to this one!

Not sure I like the flat sides on the tank being that big. They were perfect on the 701... but they don't look quite right on the 901. I may change my mind when they're painted up with the stickers on.

Maaaaaaaannn when it comes out ???? Ich would give my Svartpilen 701 only for a Svartpilen 801/901 away. I hope we become soon as possible the date😊

Any news on release date? Been studying the pics and judging by the KTM 2024 models, this will be a 790 called 801 which would be perfect for my needs and budget.

Yo MOTOBOB, Svartpilen 901 👍 Hello again from Mid Michigan, USA.

Please please come out soon. I love my svartpilen 401 and want a bigger version.

I have a svart 401 and I love it. If I can, I will go for Vit this time

I wonder if they're going to throw out an 801. that'd be the one I'd go for.

always wanted a vitpillen but didnt want the small engine .. this is on my radar for my next bike

Nice, but I like better the full black version of the Duke 890.

I wish these had come sooner but I guess not that surprising seeing how long it took the 901 Norden to come out. A little bit confused as to why the two bikes look so similar. Might just be the spy shots/development mules? KTM based Huskies tend to straddle niches a bit: the Norden is an Adventure Tourer so I'd expect the Vitpilen to be a cafe racer - supermoto and the Svartpilen to be more of an all rounder - UJM with a nod to some practicalities (perhaps a bikini fairing or fly screen, or broader seat, or less aggressive peg position, or sturdier sub frame with luggage prep etc to go with those higher bars). Either way, I'll be very disappointed if these aren't at Cologne or EICMA this year and in UK showrooms next Spring. I wonder if there's anything these will have in common with the forthcoming 890 SMT?

I have a 701 Svartpilen and love it! I would get the Svartpilen 901. This is a twin right and no release date yet?

Oh, really been waiting for this Sensi bought by 701 svartpilen

I still wish they were going to make the 490/501 bikes, but at least they are finally bringing a twin cylinder engine to the Vitpilen and Svartpilen lineup.

I would love to see the Svartpilen in 2024 available here in the US... but I am still tempted on picking up a used 701 if they don't.

Nice vid. They are cool bikes & it'd be Vitpilen for me but I'm not sure they're different enough from each other or the KTM's on which they're based. It's basically a body kit on a Duke, albeit a nice one.

901 Svartpilen looks like my next bike, if I can give up my 701 Svart 🙂

It looks beautiful, but it might be too much power for me (at least for my first bike, but also in general). I was disheartened when they discontinued the 701, but maybe with the 901 the exhaust note will sound decent. Shot in the dark if they somehow made one closer to the mature-entry level bike category (svart/vit 801?) - here's to hoping

Hey Everyone! Last week I bought some engine guards (stainless steel) and already have corrosion spots. They only been exposed once in a 30min shower rain! Any suggestions on how to preserve them?!

If the XSR GP does not come the I might have to buy this.

I'm just hoping they really keep that KTM dash, I really did not like that round dash design they had before. Exciting upcoming bikes.

The 701 is nicer to look at. More minimalistic and will probably also handle cityriding better than these new bigger models. 701 is Lighter, more nimble it has plenty of real wold performance. Thats the whole idea of the Vitpilen/svartpilen concept in my book.

I have a feeling that they are gonna call it svartspjut/vitspjut (black javelin/white javelin)

I want a Svartpilen 1201 or 1301 Whatever they’d call a Super Duke in Husky garb.

Somehow these don’t have the charm of the 401 or 701. They look a bit generic if anything they should’ve not discontinued the 701s and added a futuristic hypernaked to the line up that would be like the counterpart of the super Duke 1290

Thinking the 901 vit mat be the first new bike I’ve bought in 30 years.

I hope they make it possible to order it with Clip-ons. My 18' 701 isnt bought for comfort, and it looks WAY better with clipons imo.

Hi Moto Bob, I have a Kawasaki Dominar 400 , basically it’s a KTM 390 motor with a Kawasaki tag to it, it’s my main ride while I’m in the Philippines, I enjoy the KTM Motor design. Looking forward to the new Husky. An American lost in the Philippines.

The bike I've always wanted. But hey, where the heck are the clip-ons!

With the 890 SMT around the corner, I just to have ask. Norden 901 SMT when? And while we're at it, 1301 Norden S when?

I want one Vitpilen!

I think the tail section needs a redesign: it should be smaller and shorter. Wouldn't it be a great feature is motorcycle manufactures provide the option to buy a gaugeless bike and use a phone instead?

Looks great (if you like Marmite, which I do) and a logical move. Fair to say this works better as an all rounder only bike that can commute/tour and even handle a track day whilst turning heads? (though I wouldn't want to be a pillion for long, the 901 at least seems to give more of a nod to accommodating one than the current models solo snubness, all be it pushing them off the end a bit). It's making me look at the 701 again though owners wail on reliability and there a lot of arguably better options at least on value when buying and maintaining. I think it still comes down to how much you like Marmite and how much Marmite you like! :-)

Can't wait to see the final product 👌🏻

Ojalá venga con la misma potencia o más que la Duke 890 R y los Brembo Stylema, si viene con esa plataforma y esos frenos voy por ella cuando salga a la venta.

I wish they still made the 701.

will ther ebe an updated 401 pair?

Wait they just announced 801 and now 901?

Nuda 901 RC8 or 9 is also under testing.

Vitpilen, which means White Aero & Svartpilen is Black Aero in Swedish 🤘🏼🇸🇪🤘🏼

where can i put a deposit on this ASAP

That's really interesting thank you. Owning a Vitpilen 701, I do not know what to think about the 901. But anyway, Panigale V2 or Tuono V4 It is for me if above 100 HP lol

Have they fixed they're reliability issues

Looks like a SV650 in a bit more modern. But i like the look.

A Husq 901 could definitely pull me away from my 21 MT 09. The looks alone seem worth it. Hope this is real and that we’ll see reviews in the near future.

When are they bloody releasing it!

The Dukey sells in numbers, whereas the Husky is a bit a niche. But the Huskies will be even more agile, they've always been more narrow in shape . I hope though, they retain the round simple looking dial.

Maybe it's just because the tank isn't painted yet but looks a lot worse than the original. Also the radiator looks horrible as well. I hope the final product looks much better bc the 701 was such a looker.

I love the Duke, but it's just a bit too small for my oafish frame. The long travel suspension of the Husky should hopefully give it a bit more leg room.

If there’s a 390 Adventure does that mean a Norden 401 could be in the works?

I wish husq made the aero concept.

It's been 4-5 months since I bought my dream bike, Husky Svartpilen 250 😍😍😍

So this is really what turned out to be the svartpilen 801 isnt it?
