Alan takes the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 out for a test ride around Austin before the Revival crew tear it down and build a cool custom from it.

Just wow. I love cool lookin bikes with weird names so this will be my next bike after Buell XB

[robertamadeo]

Cant wait to see the fabrication and sound of the custom exhaust.

I love this bike, I need to ride one. Had the Duke 390 and always wanted more power. I think this would be that extra power that would make me happy on a regular basis. Only thing I don't like is the sound of the single thumper. I don't hate it but I just don't think it fits the look of these bikes.

6:33 you got me interested in that svartpilen 401 exhaust

[brettfloridia]

I put 60K miles on a 2009 690 E and loved it. Thinking of pulling the trigger on the Vitpilen 701. There are some great local deals on left over 2019s. Any thoughts on doing an underbody exhaust with dual outlets? If you dumped the plate holder and took off the end can it would be super clean.

Powder coated pink frame would be sick. Go for it and everyone else can deal with it or not.

[jlpower]

Love that bike. Killer look and totally unique. Pink frame? Hmmm... if you say so.

[johnDukemaster]

Yep, I tried one and it surprised me in a very positive way. Really nice handling and fun. Oberon? They do make some nice things!

[coltonwancho]

Making it look kinda like a Britten v1000 with the pink on blue and some white.

[markbcn]

Great looking bike! My Duke 690 has the same powerplant and it's a gem!

[carloszayas]

Hi everyone, hey @revival cycles I thinkink about getting an spare stock exhaust to then take out silencer and see how it sounds,

[felthx]

Very interesting looking svartpilen at the end. Ist there going to be a video about it?

[SwalesPhoto]

Gorgeous jacket. What brand and model is it??

[terencemalady]

Are you planning any modifications for the husky? Would you consider a fairing kit similar to the aero model they showed as a design bike.

[Some-Guy-]

How did you remove the fork reflectors? I haven't tried yet because I'm afraid of ruining the finish on the forks.

[woncameron]

what’s up with one? would love to see updates.

[woncameron]

not loving the gauge. Is that something you would replace?

[jasonr]

Have the same bike, it exceeded my expectations. About the only thing I want to change is the exhaust, but I haven’t found a good contender yet. Any exhausted ideas, sound is important?

[simulacrae]

A blue vitpilen? Wouldn’t that make it the blåpilen? 🤔😄

great bike but they have problems. 2018 version is being recalled by Husqvarna USA for a dangerous gaz leak
