Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 (2018 onwards)
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 is one of the best looking bikes you can ride on an A2 licence, however it needs to be restricted.
It offers excellent riding capabilities, very good handling and long service intervals, which makes it an ideal bike for beginners.
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 is definitely not the cheapest A2 motorbike out there and it only has a single-cylinder engine, so it might not be for everyone.
But, you can ride it restricted for a couple of years and de-restrict it later for its full performance of 74 hp.
If you would like to ride a similar bike with a smaller engine, then the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 or Vitpilen 401 are the bikes you are looking for.
