Vitpilen 701 owner here....i missed the exhaust note of my old bikes so i went motorcycle shopping recently. Sorry but nothing beats my 701 vit in terms of specs, for the price. - fully adjustable suspension - hydraulic clutch - quickshifter and autoblipper - flickable like a bicycle - 0-60mph in 3.2secs (stock) Every time i stop for gas, strangers come and ask about it. Never happened with my ducati monster 1100 evo with custom paint job and clear clutch cover or with my (cad) 8,000$ worth of mods fz-09..so yea can't beat the specs nor the fun for the price, i have zero regrets and i'm keeping it.

The main benefit of most of Husqvarna's (with a Swedish pronunciation) lineup for mass scale city bikes, is that they simply offer the most desirable package for the money within international license restrictions (35kw / 48hp). KTM with the platform already delivers great performance for the segment, and Husqvarna matches a style and material selection that actually makes the pricetag make sense. Seeing them finally move into the higher end segment with the KTM 890 platform is great.

Yammie you're right about expecting a check from husky bc you're the reason i bought svartpilen 401 😂 I believe many ppl bought bc of you and I thank you! I've been riding for almost 15 years and this is the most fun and good looking bike I've ever had. Aggressive enough to entertain, talented enough to go off road, can cruise on highway with luggage and passenger. I mean it's just great. I have never ridden off road before I bought this bike and the first time I jumped on it to make off road I was so comfortable I even started doing slides jumps in 10 mins. overall I love the brand and my next bike will be a vitpilen 901 when they make one.
