Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 review by KNOX
At the back end of 2019, we were lucky enough to get the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 for a month. During our time with the bike, we raced at the Bike Shed Festival and rode the bike extensively on some of the best roads in the English Lake District. The resulting conclusion was that I claimed the Vitpilen 701 was my favourite bike of 2019. Almost exactly a year later, we have the 2020 model in our care for a while. So the question is, a year on, would my review be quite as gushing, or did a couple of podiums at Lydden Hill give me rose tinted glasses?
To begin, there is something pretty special about the 2020 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701, its futuristic café racer lines, its gorgeous paint scheme, spoked wheels and so on… the new 2020 model just looks awesome. But you’d be wrong to write the Vitpilen 701 off as bike that is all show and no go... The Vitpilen 701 rocks!!
The combination of the 75hp single cylinder engine, with 158kg dry weight make for a really fast and useable road going motorcycle. Brembo brakes, WP suspension and just overall high quality components make this bike a fantastic option if you are looking for a great all round fun motorcycle you can enjoy on the road at realistic speeds.
If you like to pull the odd wheelie, burnout or stoppie, there aren’t many bikes out there that deliver like this one does!
On test, we were wearing the following gear:

In terms of insurance, Devitt our insurance provider gave us a competitive quote of £195.57/ year Fully Comp. Details as below and here, https://www.devittinsurance.com/motor....
