The 401 is a great bike period. It's also a fantastic value for the price. I had occasional issues with the quick shifter until I learned that you must keep the throttle very steady when shifting and now it works perfect. If that doesn't work have the dealership program the shift shaft sensor, it's listed to be done when serviced.

@jerrys3275 Год назад

Your enthusiastic videos on the Svart 401 convinced me to buy one. Got it 2 months ago and I absoulutely love it! Im an open minded older dude (61) who wanted something quick and nimble to go along with my Kong sized VTX1800 and the 401 fits the bill perfectly. It reminds me of my old buell xb9, but runs much cooler.....is lighter and more nimble and has many more great features. (also a steal at $5600) The 401 is not only a perfect beginner bike, but its also a great second bike for older more experienced riders. More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

I will be getting my first bike very soon, and boy have i looked at sooo many "best beginner bikes" such as the Mt03, Svartpilen 401, Crf and Ninja 400.

I've owned a svart 401 for a year as of this month, first bike. It's a great first bike, it really let me get better as a rider and learn what types of riding I like, but at this point, it really shows it's limitations of the smaller engine. If you're okay with upgrading after a year or only ride in the city, perfect motorcycle, but I personally wish I tried to start on a 650 class bike.

@user-jt6nw6wm5q 2 года назад

"upgrading after a year" after the first year you still won't be able to take this bike to its limits. the whole idea of having to "move up" is just wrong. and also these 650cc bikes do have more torque but are also much heavier. I ride a Fireblade and trust me, these light less powerful bikes are so much more fun on the street.

@YouTenaza 2 года назад

@@user-jt6nw6wm5q yeah, the grass is always greener in the other side. I started with an sv650, great times, still have it and still love the bike. But i'm sure that if i started with a lighter bike my skills and my confidence riding would have been A LOT easier to obtain. The only thing that a bigger displacement bike offers on road really is overtaking power and a bit of highway confort.

@jamesmontero2604 2 года назад

I understand what you are both saying, but I find myself putting a lot more miles on the highway and that 400cc single just isn't enjoyable for that.

@MortimerJones99 2 года назад

I bought a svart 401 because of your old video and have clocked over 3k miles. It has been a great first bike, super easy to handle, and very fun to ride. However you get what you pay for, the premium features aren't just free. It feels cheaply built. Starting with 2020 model year they are produced in India and I think it shows. Aftermarket support is weak, the gas tank is super small and the fuel level gauge is always wrong. Overall, still a great beginner bike. I've taken it camping up some forest service roads, but I'm definitely ready for something bigger.

@ghostx697 2 года назад

@IvanMt77 2 года назад

I had the chance to rent a Svartpilen 401 a few months ago here in Tokyo (also thanks to "that 650K video") and I can say that I had a blast (even Yammie shared the Instagram story where I mentioned him stating that naked bikes are better lol). The engine has enough power to cruise on highways (specially since in Japan the max speed is 100Kph -62mph- and 120 -74.5- only when overtaking), the breaks and suspensions are top. The only flaws I could find is that the seat is too stiff (which is fixable), since it's a single cyl engine it vibrates quite a lot (duh) and finding neutral was a real pain in the a$$. I had to try easily like an average 5-6 times every red light to find it, so sometimes I just gave in and kept grabbing the clutch lol. Apart of that is an excellent motorcycle. If I didn't buy one it's because here cost like 6400$ MSRP and for the type of ride that I want to do a Ninja 400 fits me better (and I will change it for an MT07 or 09 in a year or so). But living in the US? This is a no-brainer. I'm 5'8" (173cm) tall and I could almost flat foot it. Light as a feather, easy to handle and with a pleasant punch in the lower revs. Simply perfect for commuting and aesthetically stunning. I rode with a friend in a Vitpilen 401 and we catched all the attention from the pedestrians. In fact, in one of the red lights that I couldn't find neutral I went a bit berserker because I almost stalled the bike and rev'd it out and accidentally got out of there in one wheel lol. Just get the bike, dudes, it's TONS of fun! xD

Writing as a scooter dude, this is 401 is a weekly temptation to step into manual transmission riding. It has to be much better than the 5yr old Grom that I learned on at the MFT course. One of the few things that have saved me from getting this is that no dealership anywhere reasonably near El Paso stocks the 401. Still, it is beautiful and all I need for urban riding.

@thebulgarianguy8461 2 года назад

Also a scooter rider here. Bought a new duke390 in 2020 (same as the 401) but never had the heart to sell my maxi scoot. Not sure if the 401 is also built in India like the ktm, but the quality was definitely lacking. Even though it never failed, I couldn’t get over the cheap feeling of everything. A year later got a new z900rs cafe. A lot better built than the ktm but again I couldn’t let go of my scoot. Another year passed and I’ve realized that I’ll always be a scooter guy 😂.

Was going to be riding a 401 this weekend from Twisted road (only one of 4 bikes available in this huge city), but couldn't because the boyfriend broke parts (including the headlight) while playing with it. Hopefully will try again once it's fixed.

I bought a vitpilen recently and I love it so much ,

@Synic08 2 года назад

That husqvarna looks sooo good.... i prefer the older tank that didnt say 401, and had “husqvarna” there, but still, so sick looking.

@awsometownnuked 2 года назад

I bought the vitpilen401 three days ago because of your video

@kevineinheuser8643 2 года назад

My girlfriend bought a Husky this past fall, because of you guys 🤙

@Vakator-29 Год назад

I might get it because 1. I can buy cash, 2. All the similarly powered bikes sound the same so might aswell get something I can do more with, and 3. This is something I can always use even after upgrading down the line.

Your headset sounds super clear. What brand/model are you using? Side note, I've got a 2021 401 and LOVE it.

A good friend of mine just got a husky svart 401 (in the UK) and its so cute!! Such a great bike, really glad he got one over some more pedestrian choices in the same price bracket as its a joke that just puts a smile on your face. It's also still pretty rare to see them in the UK... with his husky and my 70s style bonneville SE we are doomed to old old chat at bike night 😂

I actually bought this bike last year bc of your video I never knew it existed till then

@mattbritton8201 2 года назад

Hey , great video as always.... quick question... what camera do you use for you vlogs? I have a sub standard camera and the sound is absolutely rubbish.... thanks

@sayajin9604 2 года назад

I like this bike was looking at them but managed to pick up a 2011 moto guzzi v7 classic for my first bike and I'm in love

@FreeTimeAdventures 2 года назад

I honestly would like to see a KTM 390 Adventure in a comparison like this as an almost middle ground between these two.

@leatherneck69 2 года назад

true, the main down side in my opinion is the price jump with KTM vs the Husky

@red92diaz 2 года назад

Been looking into getting a Svart here in Illinois. Kinda hard to find them around here. The ones I found are getting taxed! Priced at $6k

@matthewkeoni 2 года назад

I bought the Svarty because of that video. I love it.

@VS666 2 года назад

I just bought a husqvarna 701 sm...love the brand I do have my gripes with the 373 ktm engine though in my adv390 it vibrates the hell out of the handlebars and yeah the quickshifter on both bikes can be finicky at full throttle

@metalmoto3275 2 года назад

They need to build a dual sport frame around that 401 engine and destroy the dual sport market competition

For those of you thinking about selling your Svartpilen, don’t! Selling is one of my biggest regrets in motorcycles. I got one in 2019 before they were cool. They weren’t selling bikes and I got mine in San Diego for $3,300 new, so like $5K out the door. I made the mistake of riding 20 hours in 2 days round trip from Sacramento to oregon. The thumper was so harsh on my throttle hand I seriously could not feel my arm and hand for days it was so painful. I was so upset that I sold the bike, and now regret it! It’s meant for around town, and it was so good and looked so cool, I would get compliments all the time.

@brianh8801 2 года назад

Aloha Yammie, the Husky was one of the bikes I was considering to get back into biking until I started reading about the electrical & neutral issues. The videos I've watched were older, so I'm trying to find out if those issues/concerns have been resolved. Thanks & Take Care

2 года назад

Haven't been fixed. Same engine as the Duke 390, same electrical issues. Look up KTM = Keine Tausand Meters

@brianh8801 2 года назад

@ Thanks so much for the feedback. Not what I wanted to hear but needed to know! Take Care 🤙🏾

@sindthekid 2 года назад

not reliable

@airamdelvillar 2 года назад

beenneyeing this bike as well and still saving some money to get one.. but the longer it takes, the more issues ive been reading about it.. they say that the engine itself is reliable but the electronics sucks

@scottd1256 2 года назад

Why not step up to the next level CRF…which I think is the CRF450(?). Are the 300 and 450 bikes so different the 450 wouldn’t make a good beginner bike? I’m also concerned, especially for a beginner bike, about the reliability issues with the 401 that seem to be everywhere you look amongst the reviews. For me, poor reliability would be a deal breaker.

@vrboxo 2 года назад

Okay, I'm writing this prior to watching the Final Thoughts portion of the video. You took the 401 offroad and said that it "can do it," but it was "squirrely" and didn't "glide right over" obstacles as well. What you did NOT mention is that the 401 comes with knobby tires, which your test model does not have, nor did you attempt to adjust the suspension to determine whether the ride COULD be smoother offroad. Part of why one opts for the 401 is how much stock adjustability is present in the bike to begin with. Not taking advantage of what the bike offers is like running a race while doing high knees: Sure you "can do it," but to what end? I'm going to watch the Final Thoughts now, but if neither of these things are addressed, then the comparison was definitely unfair.

@johnlethlean8980 2 года назад

Love your vids down here in Oz. Can you recommend some street tyres for my Svart 701?

@azuraflame1 2 года назад

Just another drop in the bucket of yeah I bought my duke 390 because of this channel. I know it’s not quite the svart but close enough right XS

As a 16 year old living in the UK, i am super excited to be getting a motorbike at 17, but i was just wondering if you would do some more 125cc reviews as that’s all i can ride😅

@Gofr5 2 года назад

401 is very nice. Wonderful machine. It's a shame they dropped the bigger 701s here. Nice bikes. I probably would've bought one over my 701 SM if it was still available, though I do still like my sumo.
