The machine was made available to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Neumünster. If you really want to experience something, go there and dare to take a test drive. Every test driver is guaranteed not to forget them.
Conclusion - what gets stuck
The Vitpilen is a small Rabauke, but one that never lets you down. Provided that it can be afforded, the question remains: do you want to afford it? We at motorradtest.de agree: yes! Five times thumbs up.She is the ideal companion for the things that are so fun in life. And the most beautiful of them are those that evade all logic.
Only what we Germans like most about buying would be the principle. Because the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a Naked Bike, which naturally limits the suitability for touring, which is already opposed by the tank, which only has a capacity of 12 liters. But, you know that beforehand. Like that ice makes you fat, you shouldn't watch "Bauer sucht Frau" on TV or that blowing up four liters of the finest super on 100 kilometers is ecologically simple crap just for fun.
We now find that we have satisfied political correctness, and now we are finally going to the trader and taking a test drive. ;)
The test machine was kindly provided by Heller & Soltau.
Small addendum: Vitpilen is Swedish and translates as "White Arrow". Why? We don't know either.
