Conclusion - what sticks
Motorcycling is fun - this also applies if you are traveling with a Husqvarna Svartpilen 125. Of course, you won't set acceleration records with 15 hp, but due to the adult chassis and the streetfigher-like seating position, you have a lot of fun with the husky on the country road. On the other hand, we prefer to forget the motorway very quickly, but it is simply not fast enough.The test bike was kindly provided by Heller & Soltau from St. Michaelisdonn. There she stands as a demonstrator and waits for a lot of test drivers. Go for it, it's really fun!
