Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018

Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 2018

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a true highlight of the 2018 season. Its appearance is unique and the technology under the pretty design is also something to behold. The combination of 75 hp from the well-known single-cylinder, paired with a superbly shifting quickshifter, creates an insane amount of fun on the road. However, the engine needs revs and not everyone will like the riding position. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is therefore a motorbike that you have to get completely involved with. But if you can do that, a lot of fun is guaranteed.

Fantastic design

powerful engine

quickshifter with blipper function

competent chassis

sporty seating position

low weight.

uncomfortable seating position

must be driven above 3,000 rpm

probably uncomfortable on long journeys

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2022

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2022

The new Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and is therefore convincing in all its quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. Visually, the Katana additionally has what it takes to become a classic; after all, it is the first to pick up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the high handlebars allow pleasant control. With its low front fairing, it doesn't become a distinct touring machine, but it certainly passes as a crossover bike that excellently combines retro, naked and touring.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely independent look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

triple-adjustable traction control

good braking system

few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000
