Can confirm that any license owner SHOULD love that 390 engine. I have a Z1000 and sometimes rue the fact I can't use that engine anywhere on the roads (legally and/ or safely). I love it, I do. But my friend has a 390 Duke and it is so much fun to ride. You can literally kick its head in everywhere and it will not care, and just comply. Such an easy going bike

Thanks for the memories RJ, I used to live not far from there, loved that road

RJ is the most graceful ride I’ve ever seen tbh been watching Moto vloggers for years and idk what it is but RJ is just actually enjoyable to watch ride

Agreed. Its obviously because he's been riding for years but his anticipation of the movement of traffic and his decision making and smoothness is unreal. If anyone else tried to drive like him i think they'd crash. RJ knows when to go and when to wait. I dont have that kind of skill so i honestly dont know how he does it. More practice i suppose!

Oh I love that one cylinder bark! It really suits the Husky 401 as well, lovely noise.

It is gorgeous ! The 701 should look like this, it has an amazing design.

Best bike I've ever had. SO much fun and very versatile 🏍 Super easy to work on too if you wanna make it more dirt-ready!

Hey RJ!!!! From the states here.... love your videos. Beautiful country side. One day I’ll get over there

I can't wait for the 701 Svartpilen, that will be a ripper!

very valid comments RJ regarding dealer trust and practicality of getting servicing/warranty done

It's a beautiful bike. I think the normal bars would be more comfortable than the Vitpilen, too. Can't wait for the 701.

Really nice til you view directly from the rear. 70s Puch Maxi and rear number plate dragging on the floor springs to mind

Man that thing sounds good. Definatley picking one up

Simple and all explanations we all need ❤

Nice bike RJ! Regards from Brazil!

Sounds Beautiful!

ive been waiting for this, been eyeing one up myself

I don’t want to buy that bike but I have to say that your lecture on buying a commuter motorcycle was great!

I had the pleasure as well to test ride the 401´s. Neat little bikes, nothing to really complain about. As an A2 holder I really like seeing this stuff popping up

I'd love to see you have another ride on an MV. But I completely understand where you're coming from since a lot of the bikes can sometimes have reliability issues. (maybe the latest line up is better)

its such a fun bike to ride especially if you live in an area with winding b roads - seriously sorted little bike

Beautiful bike.

Oooh shit, I really hope you can get an MV Agusta😍 That is my absolute favorite motorcycle, i just love the white Mv agusta f3 675 3 cylinder motorcycle so much. I hope too see u ride an mv one day

Really nice review!

Love that bike

Great advice! I hear the same type of thing with guitar reviews. Expert says this, expert says that, just go down to your local store and find something that makes you feel good. Too much brand snobbery these days...

Hi, pl try doing a review of BMW 310gs.. thanks

Nice bike, good video.

Very sharp bike, I like the looks better than the larger Vitpilen. When I recently saw these in person (though I didn't sit on them) the plastic of the gauge looked cheap to me.

Beautiful

Can you film more on Svartpilen 401? It seems like a really good bike. Thanks!

I used to ride past that windmill everyday going Leighton Buzzard to Denham :D great video, good to see you out in the country farting up a storm!

performance wise looks like it's a Ton of Fun, whereas as looks go, I've yet to see one in person to be convinced. so far a Fantic caballero 500 is the number one for me in terms of styling, scrambler and street Tracker.

Well said RJ! You’re the first motorcycle reviewer i’ve heard stress the importance of dealer support. It has been such an important factor for me in deciding what bike to get. I initially really wanted a Yamaha and i have no doubt they make amazing motorcycles but was left far from impressed with how their dealership was run in my country. Whereas i had not even initially considered KTM here but instantly fell in love with them, their service and their motorcycles after a visit. It is such an overlooked factor!

I agree with you about trusting a dealership near to you I’d like to buy a KTM but the nearest dealer to me is 70 miles away so it’s not going to happen.

It's a really good bike and I was thrilled of its launch in India but I still cannot change to a Husqvarna because potholes are plenty and a tourer like BMW GS is best.

very nice

It does look good. And a little more practical than the Svitpilen. Can't wait for the 701 Vartpilen - that's likely to be pick of the bunch vs vart 701 and duke 690 and a little more useful vs these 401s/390s. Pricey? Does that matter if you're happier with any of these rather than an even more expensive but much bigger value-for-money bike?

Absolutely would be my perfect road bike.

Ninja 400 next please RJ

Appreciate the content as always. Would you recommend this bike for a beginner? Seems like a good alternative to the 390 Duke whose styling is a little too aggressive imo

This pretty much is a Duke with a different style

I love the bike first sight love ,, flagship store is just behind the home , only missing element is money....

I am glad you read my comment on the Duke 390 video RJ and that you agree with my thought process as well. I would love a KTM 390 or Husqvarna vitepilen / svartpilen but the nearest KTM dealer is 2 hours away, and there are two Yamaha dealers within 20 minutes of me. Would I want the Duke 390 or Husqvarna over a Yamaha mt 03 or the new XSR300 coming this year, damn right I would.. but I can't ride 2 hours every time I need a service or something breaks. Great video as always RJ:)

@royaljordanian You work in london mate! Get an MV from the Capital House dealership like i did 😋

I feel you about MV Augusta. Their dealership network is terrible. The closest MV dealer to me is almost 60 miles away, in a "remote" area. It sucks because they have neat bikes (when they work 😉😉).

That is lovely......

Nice Bro

im on an a2 license and im really stuck for what bike to get with the best power range

I do love this bike tho... That sound really awesome, and it's a beauty of art.. But unfortunately husqvarna didn't reached South East Asia Market for their bikes

@RoyalJordanian what exhaust would you suggest if you were to replace the stock?

Quick question on the dealer thing, RJ: who do you take the Nuda to for servicing? KTM or BMW?

Cool. This USAmerican just by chance drove through that Plough Roundabout monstrosity in Hemel Hempstead last month. Being a non-native UK driver, it's like the worst thing POSSIBLE to come across. But, I "plough"-ed through like a CHAMP! Fortunately, all I needed to to was take "two lefts", which meant, practically deflecting off the surface of the hexagonal roundabout from hell. (trademarked ME!) :)

Nice motorbike !!!!

I'd like to see the 390/401 bikes in a comparison test with the older 400cc bikes like the CB400F. I think at this power level it's more about how the bike feels and makes you feel.

Your roads are better than ours. Try that speed over the tank traps here.

RJ, thinking of buying the the Vitpilen 401 for everyday use. What do you think of this bike and will you be doing a review?

What's the fuel consumption on the 401? Also, are there any 0-60 times posted anywhere?

so how did riding the svartpilen 401 make you feel?

Can we see a video of vitpilen 401 maybe?

Dealer Support is one of the first things I looked at when purchasing a second bike. Now I basically walk in there and im treated like royalty. Its great! Honda, for anyone who's interested.

I agree with the dealer support comments - our nearest dealer in Inverness for ANY bike is over 100 miles away..... So I ride a bandit :-(

This exhaust was modified right? When he walks around the bike it looks like it is the stock origin one but it sounds much better than the original one

OH this bike Is cute 😍😍

Interesting tank bag rack. Not sure how I feel about that aesthetically, but it's different and unusual (right in line with Husqvarna character). I expect it would work awesome with a tank bag. Front bikini fender looks cool. Bike could be a good commuter but knowing Husqy pricing, though, ...I dunno =/

Yep. That‘s gonna be my A2 bike. Plenty of power, sounds great, looks great and all of this at a fair price (around 4000€ used with low mileage)

@@IssaG0ld Exactly my thoughts. I got one 3 months ago, did 5000km on it and had a blast. But I found out that it isn´t really suitable for my kind of riding. I like to do longer distance trips and it really isn´t comfortable after an hour or two so I sold it for something for comfortable. Whenever I´m in the position to afford two bikes, the Svart will be my first choice every time!

Have you seen these are only £3999 now? Apparently they just aren’t selling...
