zapfanzapfan thanks

@mts982 6 лет назад

you would think the guys they sent wouldve shed some knowledge on that, almost like they sent interns to talk about the bikes.

@FredricF 6 лет назад

It's actually definite article, as in "the white arrow" and "the black arrow". Just nitpicking a little.

@zapfanzapfan 6 лет назад

Well, the names aren't really grammatically correct to begin with, "the white arrow" would be "vita pilen" or even "den vita pilen". Vitpil is also a plant, "vitpilen" in that sense is definite article. Nitpicking back :-)

@gofer9156 6 лет назад

It's for the same reasons they don't call it "the face book", but just "facebook". the white arrow = white-arrow.

You know Jay takes his motorcycle gear seriously when you see the excess skin off his neck flapping as he talks due to having his full-face helmet correctly cinched. Seen too-many people not cinching the D-ring strap correctly and seen too-many helmets fly off due to this. Good stuff, Jay. Love how he's bringing motorcycles closer to a younger audience and actually talking about motorcycles not very common in the USA.

@SteefH82 6 лет назад

In Sweden we like to push words together, so Vitpilen is actually the two words Vit and Pilen meaning the White Arrow, Svart is Black and Silver is Silver. Vit is pronounced Veet and Pilen would be Peelen.

@SteefH82 6 лет назад

Also the En at the end of Pilen is a gramatical thing where it corresponds to using The before the word, so Pil is Arrow and En means you should have a The in front

@hulkzrx2428 6 лет назад

As a Swede and a fellow Vitpilen 701 lover I tank you Jay Leno for this. Its so cool seeing a motorist like you with the ears against the ground. Once again thank you!!

@Grovreicraynth Год назад

Just used a 401 as my daily rider for around 6 months. Absolutely great. No major issues encountered. I wish the tank was a bit bigger, the awkward notch needs getting used to when gripping the tank. The fuel capacity of the small tank affects range as well. Overall, these Husky bikes are great.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I'm only 12 minutes in but I'm amazed, given the hassle Jay gave the guys about the name, that the Husky reps didn't explain what Vitpilen and Svartpilen means ("White Arrow" and "Black Arrow" in case you didn't know....). Looking forward to having a go on one of these myself.....

@davidj9804 5 лет назад

Probably because its a stupid freakin name. Jay was just trying to help them make some $!! They could've easily called them the "Black Arrow" & "White Arrow" im going for a ride on the White Arrow sonds better than.. hey im going for a ride on my Vitpilen. 👉Husqvarna if you're reading these comments, you should change it for 2020 unless you named it Vit & Svart as a conversation factor 🤔 It's like the Golf and the Rabbit names

I've been daily commuting on a '20 Svartpilen for about 7mo (1k miles/mo) now and its an amazing machine... eventually the clutch slave will come apart, but aside from that, very solid. This was an upgrade for me from an SV650 after 12yrs on that. Thumper life is the best life.

No comment on the 401 after riding it? I had a 2011 ZX10R with a lot of power and also a 2009 Husqvarna SM510R with very light weight and perfect suspension. I can tell you that, for me, the lighter 500cc bike was a lot more fun on the road. Why? Because you could squeeze it till the last drop of power was used and still be within reasonable speeds, while the ZX10R was at Autobahn speeds in the first gear. For me big cc bikes are for cruising, touring with a pillion or when talking about sports bikes for the track. On the road I prefer light bikes with good suspension and enough power to have fun.

@danshapiro2715 5 лет назад

I actually just traded in my FZ-07 for a Vitpilen 401 and couldn't be happier. As a city rider (San Francisco) this thing is an absolute blast on city streets and for day trips up and down the coast. Don't let the smaller displacement fool you, this small bike is zippy and has more than enough power.

@jvlivtriple 6 лет назад

Many years ago I owned a Triumph Daytona 500. In those days it was a "mid-sized" motorcycle. The size and weight was very close to the 401. I rode that bike all over Europe and up and down the east coast of the US. I wonder if it is time to downsize. I like these bikes.

@flat6fever680 5 лет назад

@whalesong999 6 лет назад

New rider? The 401. It's light and has nearly the horsepower of 650cc bikes back when they were the top of the line. Plenty of scoot and better quality. It will likely have better resale value, used.

First off, I appreciate Jay bringing bike awareness to more people. That typed, two nitpicks: One, you drive cars, pilot boats and ride bikes. Second, the bike with the longest continuous production is the Royal Enfield, which also happens to be evolving very quickly - and (relatively) recently opened a new facility in Britain - both for engineering and production. I just watched another video on the new Husqvarnas and I'm really interested in these. I like the two reps from the company in this video. Thanks for producing this video!

@barryolaith 6 лет назад

We all know these Husqvarna 'bikes are about as Swedish as the Vienna Boy's Choir, and prior to that were made by MV Agusta, before being bought by BMW. However, in each case Husky always improved the donor bike / engine considerably, often making more power and sporting classy design and components. The Nuda is a prime example, as is their current range of off-road competition bikes. I've got a Husky in the garage and it's definitely got something. As long as they keep doing that I don't mind who the parent company is.

@larrychew1 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful review. I saw a 701 the other day and found it beautifully designed. You got to see it in the metal. I’m 74 and was a beginner rider on my sister’s 400 Yamaha when I was in my 40’s and this has gotten me thinking about the 401. Yes, they hit the mark for those design oriented folks. There’s a lot of subtle details in the design of these bikes. For example, the front turn indicator lenses look like faceted crystals.

As Jay has enough to buy whatever bike he wants, not to mention decades of experiece riding & working on them, his interest in any bike always seems to me to be genuine & his opinion on any particular bike is allways well informed. His endorsement has to be earned through making a unique or quality product that meets some pretty high as well as practicle standards.

I rented a 701 enduro in colorado and it was amazing. It power wheelied very easily (a bit less on pikes peak as air was getting thinner...). Was awesome in the trails, great on the road. People forget the importance of power to weight ratios. With that said I think their 701 should be at least 2k cheaper if they want to sell a bit of volume.

+Not So Happy Camper He does that to signal to the camera car... I think he got tired of explaining that in his videos a couple years back.

Constantine P Nice tip. I'd missed him saying that and noticed a lot of "expired blinkers" in many of his vids. I'll lay off the judgement now because that totally makes sense. Good man.

Design is very nice. Only thing I would do different is dual headlamps. For some reason I think that looks really good on this style bike

@Gonzy1122 6 лет назад

Gotta say they are beautiful, unique machines with a very nice grunty sound.

Jay... had you not ever heard the term "naked bike"? Basically, skeleton framed without body work(fairings, etc.)

@courtneyricks500 5 лет назад

Thank you Jay. I saw these at my local dealer and wondered how a single cyclinder would ride.

Been looking for a decent review on the 701 so thanks.The bike looks really nice and I think the UK price is quite competitive for a niche bike.I think the 701 will attract older riders like myself who want something a little bit different than a lot of the generic designs out there. Currently ride a Gsx-s750 and am very much considering swapping it for the 701.

My dad raced supercross on a Husqie in the 70s. They are owned by KTM nowadays. Not exactly a small company.

wewd Hell even before ktm they weren't small. Their lawn equipment is sold at most places. It's like saying Levi or Kraft are small companies. This video was about annoying.

Vitpilen and Svartpilen would, in english, be the White Arrow and the Black Arrow. By the way, before they began manufacturing vehicles, the companies of Husqvarna and neighbour town Jönköping started out as a weapons forge in 1628, for the 30-years war.

i've never really looked at husqvarna as an option for a new bike but i'm coming around to it now. i have to admit these do look pretty sharp. and i LOVE how light they are!

I have the 701 Supermoto; freaking awesome bike. Wasn't sure I'd be that impressed coming from a Yamaha MT-10, but it's so much damn fun.

I started with light bikes and in time moved up to heavy bikes. My wife got into riding and started with a light bike. I have ridden hers a bit and now realize all the fun I have been missing for way too many years! My next bike will be a light bike. Bigger isn't always better.

William Wintemberg yea man - under 350 wet especially with an exhaust change

I'm just getting back into bikes after about a 5 year leave (lived in a big city). Went to look at a monster but was blown away by these. They look so cool! Yea it's a KTM Duke frame and engine but Husky reworked it all and it's an entirely new bike.

I have a 2020 of this bike, I remember watching this almost 2 years ago and thinking, nah, never. But when I saw it and got a chance to ride it, loved it. Thanks to Jay or I never would have even considered this bike. Jay, you need an open face helmet! That one doesn't even cover your chin bro! ;)
