this is the husqvarna svartpillen 701 and in this video we're going to do a full and thorough review
now i must say this is a seriously good looking motorcycle whatever angle you look at it from it's
absolutely beautiful we test rode the svart pillar you may look back on the videos a few weeks ago
i think this is better looking and especially here
it's an incredibly good looking button the paintwork as well really sets it off
now the main difference between the two models the spark pillar and the vit pilling this has
a little less suspension travel and a slightly lower seat height and you've got the clip on bars
so the bars are a little bit lower other than that without a few little bits and pieces and obviously
the back bit it's pretty much the same bike so they're they're twins but not identical twins
now this engine produces 73.7 brake horsepower and 72 newton meters of
torque and it's actually the most powerful production single cylinder engine in the world
we've got 43 millimeter upside down forks and the suspension is adjustable you've got
a six-speed slipper clutch on this so you've got uh lightning fast clutchless gear changes
of course you can use the clutch if you want to which is very nice the engine doesn't like low
revs very much so it needs to keep it up in the higher rev bands but it's a lovely
bike to ride as as you build the revs you get a little bit of vibration but nothing to worry about
and it's certainly a damn good looking motorcycle we've got a 320 millimeter disc at the front and a
240 mil at the rear and it's of course abs this one comes well has the aquaprovik exhaust on it
which sounds beautiful and that's something you can add on as an accessory through your dealer
we've got very nice looking 17 inch wheels with spokes absolutely beautiful looking
we've got this pillion seat cover which you can purchase a seat if you want to but to be honest
you wouldn't really need or want a pillion on a bike like this it's got a leather and
foam seat which is very comfortable quite firm but good for the feel of the road
we've got 11.2 liters of fuel in the tank here which is good for about 195 miles range
and that's producing about 71 to 80 miles per gallon depending on how you ride it
weighs 158 kilos and it will have a very good power to weight ratio the seat height is 830
millimeters and to be honest i think i'm a bit too tall for it at six foot three
as you can see it's a bit cramped for me although i can ride it perfectly okay but it
would suit somebody a bit shorter five foot ten five at eight nine it would be perfect
the rake is 25 degrees which means it's got nice sharp nimble handling
and suspension travel is 5.3 inches front and rear so what's it like to ride well it's easy to ride
it's very good in the corners and after a while with confidence you can
lay it down nicely it accelerates very very quickly and as it builds the revs up
it's very quick as i said before it doesn't like lower revs so it's not so good at chugging along
it's marketed more as a city bike but it's equally at home in the windy country lanes and i would say
it's a wonderful nice looking bike to get the brakes are very good front and rear and you
can adjust the um the levers uh and the clutch lever equally um it's got a double pot caliper
at the front and a single at the rear private property you can't be taking photographs down here
private okay are you connected with the property sorry are you connected with
the property yeah i'm security so our verdict on the husqvarna fabulous bike
um beautiful looking definitely recommend it go ahead and get one right now please
