Bigger Vitpilen and Svartpilen Coming Soon!

From the article, translated: "the two-cylinder Husqvarnas will weigh less than 200, or rather less than 190, kilograms when ready to drive and with a full tank".
190kg = 419 lbs.
 
My local dealer mentioned to me last week that a Svartpilen 801 will arrive this summer, so that'd be the 790 engine I guess :)

And the 401 will arrive in 3-4 weeks, will be interesting to see what they look like IRL.
 
an 890 would be more exciting than a 790 for those who already have a vit/svart. Wonder what they'll end up releasing...
 
Yeah, why a happy 701 owner should update ("upgrade") for ~26 % more power (75 PS vs. 95 PS) with ~14 % more weight (166 kg vs. 190 kg)?
 
Indeed, that extra cylinder definitely adds a lot of weight. I love the power to weight ratio on the 701's.
 
I’ll still keep my 701 for twisty road fun, but a 901 would be good to compliment it for longer trips. The 701 is pretty exhausting on longer highspeed rides.
 
Looking good!
Unclear whether this will be the 790 (801) or 890 (901) engine.

I would like to be able to purchase those black radiator side panels.

It looks like the picture is of the Vitpilen version that is yet to be released. I would imagine they will be a straight swap. Once it’s released then you’ll be able to buy them as spare parts and shouldn’t cost a lot.
 
If they use the 1290 in a Vit I'm a buyer. My '14 SD-R was such a beast. Yes I traded it in because it was going to get me in trouble. No that doesn't make sense, don't judge me! 🤪
