I'm 1.83 and vs the Duke 390 when I sat on this one I felt a special connection instantly. It felt custom made for my body and personality. I like the Duke, but I'm not an orange person and the looks loo, kind of cheap. Sadly, there none here in the US.

Love This movie,You are doing great job. I have my own 401 ,and its just great bike ,fun,fun fun. Thank You💐

Nice small city. So quiet and beautiful....thanks for the bike test...

Bike looks amazing, price is unreal. Think I’ll have to get this one as I’ve found I love smaller bikes that you can just have fun on! The Scrambler style is exactly my taste as well, bar end mirrors and it’s perfect from the get go.

Hi from Turkey. I have a svart for a few months for now. I really like it so far. Light, powerful and beautiful. Which i don't like is the seat is very stiff, it doesn't let you ride for hours without coccyx pain. Secondly gastank is small so you need to fill it more often. The last thing is mirrors designed for checking your elbows :)

Hi, greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾. I've the Svart 401 for about 4 months now, really loving it. I use it as my daily ride, to & from work with school runs. Performs great in urban areas where I do most of my riding, great handling & the quickshifter makes my daily commute that much more bearable . I had a chance to test the Duke 390 on some twisty roads, IMHO the main difference is the seat on the Duke which is better for spirited riding in the twisties. I feel much more secure hanging off of it than the Svart. But I am getting into my middle ages, the looks & colors of the Duke is kinda hard to work with. The Svart looks much more polished & refined, it's a head turner wherever I ride.

Yes I love my 401. Very monuvarable, light weight, powerful for the size. You cant go wrong with it in my opinion.

What seat is that? Is it the ergo set?

I watched a trailer in which one of the husqvarna's color was blue/white and i thought it looked sick. Is there an option to get it with the 401?

Hi which camre you was using

Finally, a chance to hear the correct pronunciation... They should just call it SV! Always good work on these vids.

I want a Trident 660 because of the looks alone, but my experience is 0 (I had a Beta Trial 125 2 stroke for competition), never rode on the road anything above a 50cc scooter. The Vitpilen is so nice, but everyone says the Svart is better. I love how she's enamoured of the bike. Such a nice girl.

This review was going okay until I saw the Buell. I miss my Buell... You should test ride one someday! But back to the review I really like the Vitpilen. I was tempted to buy one but I ended up with an R9T due to mostly being a commuter with the crazy San Francisco Bay Area traffic. I may own one someday! And that's a cool cafe, I would love to visit at someday.

R9T is amazing! I’d choose it over Vitpilen also. Mostly for versatility and character. Also you literally go around the world in it. Vitpilen is more for fun. But bloody fun it is.

20:48 He forgot to mention tank rack and two seats on the Svartpilen, so you can put additional small rack instead of a back seat.

Looks wise It’s polarising ☺️ and find that it’s a bit too small for me, it needs an extra 50mm longer cockpit and a better seat as I find it too be not comfortable after an hours ride.
