2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 Review – Now With Double The Fun

The 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen is now drinking for two with a 799cc Parallel Twin plucked out of its orange sibling and nestled under the Svart’s stylish duds. Does a Parallel Twin change the vibe of the ’Pilen’s original Thumper? Undoubtedly.

A few of us guys from Minnesota raced Pikes Peak back in the January 1 st mass start races. 78/79/80. My last bike raced there Husqvarna Malcom Smith Replica 250cc. Soft spot for the old Swedish models. This one looks fun street wise.

Reminds me of my old R1150R but on a modern platform and seat height. I loved daily riding that bike, top case, narrow for filtering, fire road capable, a Swiss Army knife.
I’m sure this rides great! Discuss the warranty with the dealer if you have concerns.

The Vitpillen 801 needs to have a modenised cafe fairing to go with the low bars.

You guys must have been going so hard from all the hints you kept dropping on pace, great group of guys, champion rider leading the group, leaning to the max, probably super duper fun. 140/150mm is a decent amount of suspension travel for a sort of scrambler thing, cool bike.

Does it have the chocolate camshaft of the 790 duke 😮

[jimboulter]

I owned the 701 Vitpilen and Svartpilen. Both had more character in my opinion and both were still reduced in price and struggled to sell. Despite being good bikes. I think this one struggles more at £10, 495 in the U.K. I think it will be sub £8995 very quickly.

Just awesome bike, Husqvarna nailed it with it❤❤
Just perfect for me

How do you take your Svart: proud 'n loud or stealthy/quiet?

[LimitedGunnerGM]

I still miss the 701. Tiny and nimble. I hope they fixed the cam lobe oiling problem with that 790 engine.

[RobertCuttler]

Some people call this the most beautiful motorcycle on the market today. Some people call me young and handsome. They would be wrong.

[pinorkal]

Will the camshaft need replacing after 16, 000 miles?

[ewganhoff]

If I was in the market for this bike I would buy... The XSR900.

[kugangles]

Does it come with the Chinesium butter cams or is that a upcharge.

[Popflyer]

Nice to consider, but how do you think it racks up with the Yamaha XSR900? I have my eyes on both machines but would like to find more information, thanks!

[keithdowdle]

I watched until Chris exited the video. 😂😂😂 Love ya Ryan. Great review as usual. At least what I saw of it.

[bradmiller]

Considering all the bad press about the 790, I wouldn't buy this bike if it shares the same engine which is a shame since its specs and overall look are very appealing. Shame on you KTM.

I love my 2000 Moto Guzzi Quota 1100 ES and my 2022 Moto Guzzi V85 TT.both in red.

The bars look fairly narrow, but video is weird.

I thought my Thruxton 1200 looked the best...
