Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 2020

Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 2020

At first glance, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 looks like a classic second motorbike. But in the saddle, it presents itself as a pleasing and accessible universal talent. It makes experienced riders happy and pleases beginners in equal measure. The surcharge on the 401 is considerable, but it pays off at the latest at higher speeds on great motorbike routes. There, the Svartpilen 701 can go at a fast pace!

Great chassis with smooth handling - yet not nervous

Engine is a real gem for single-cylinder fans

Pleasant seating position in city traffic

Pleases even on bad asphalt - very wide range of use.

Vibrations are a little annoying on long motorway journeys

hard seat for driver and passenger

cockpit not very easy to read.

KTM 390 Duke 2021

KTM 390 Duke 2021

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.

Typical Duke ergonomics that are also suitable for taller riders

Extremely agile handling thanks to flyweight and narrow waist

Sporty engine with great handling

Modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity

Supermoto mode is a pleasure

Quickshifter (optional) works perfectly

Adjustable hand levers

Top price-performance ratio for A2 motorbike.

Chassis tuned a little too soft

pressure point of the brakes a little spongy
