Cycle Canada has ridden the Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 in the Var region of France. Turning away from the single-cylinder 701, it carries the 799cc LC8c twin inherited from the KTM 790 Duke. DOHC with four valves, it makes 105 horsepower at 9,250 rpm and 64.0 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm, with twin balancer shafts producing smooth torque.

This is what I have been waiting for. The previous 701 was a single, but the 801 carries the 799cc LC8c twin handed down from the KTM 790 Duke. 105 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, and with twin balancer shafts too. Against the old model the character is a different animal. Just gazing at the spec sheet, this is what I find irresistible.
