Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2019

Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2019

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is still a true highlight among light, handy motorbikes because of its unrivalled characteristics. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also impressive. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of joy on the road. However, the engine needs revs and the seating position will not please everyone. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. If you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.
