The 2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 roadster is one of four ’Pilens in Husky’s lineup. It’s powered by the 799cc parallel-Twin from the KTM 790 Duke that makes a claimed 105 hp and 64.2 lb-ft of torque. For $10,499, the Vitpilen 801 comes with features like conveniently adjustable WP Apex suspension, J.Juan brakes, ride modes, lean-sensitive TC and ABS, and a TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity. Our test bike was fitted with the optional Dynamic Pack that includes Dynamic ride mode, on-the-fly rear-wheel slip adjuster, anti-wheelie control, and motor slip regulation.
We tested the new Vitpilen in the canyons of San Diego County, California, and enjoyed the bike’s handling, crisp throttle response, and additional features. It sits right in the sweet spot in terms of size, power, and performance, and its unique styling helps it to stand out in the segment.

I’d be careful buying anything right now with a KTM engine. Unless they’re gonna give it to you for half price and you’re able to get parts from somewhere, stay far away as you can until KTM proves solvent.
