Didn’t even hear them mention the QuickShift. That’s a killer feature that comes standard on these bikes now and is especially great for beginners. No worries about rev matching or hitting your shifts just so. Just roll on and bang through the gears. It’s an epic bike.

for my fellow shorties, I'm 5'6 and i recently bought a '21 svartpilen and i don't struggle at all with the tall seat height.

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!

April 2022; Most certainly, I am enjoying everyone efforts. Thank you. I want to help others with this little bit: I am a 70 y/o lifer-biker...bought my first Husky brand new for $1700.00 Canadian in Toronto., 9,485 years ago. I have pictures. I believe it was called a 400, deep-burgundy tank with huge chrome circles on either side of tank. As we road through the years our leathers would rub against tank enlarging the chrome circles. Am I mechanically inclined? No. My buddy Dave Craghill use to always say to me, when I had any trouble on the trails...."Richard, start with simple." He had me up and running in minutes. I can only imagine what fantastic bikes they build today. I would buy one in an instant! Continued success to everyone! Stay hydrated out there.

[@davidzavala337]

After weeks of researching beginner bikes I finally found one that fits my style. I'm not into Supersport looks or touring, but wao, is a bit rugged with those tires and I can go on my hybrid dort roads, since I'll do mostly freeway, but there's a shortcut at work that is all dirt and I could save 4 miles and 6 minutes by going that route. I just wish the speedometer was bigger.

Love the fact that you do a specific break-down on ergonomics with different riders. I'm 5'8 and I've just ordered mine ;-)

[@adamrichmond6348]

I did also find that helpful, as someone 6'5" there are a lot of 5'4" riders that say the ergos are great!... and they might be, but that scares me as much as it intrigues me. At least we got to see a fellow big guy on there for a hot min.

Updates to this video ….Svartpilen 401 cost $6400 out the door from the dealership not $5600. There is aftermarket parts available for this motorcycle from sprockets to exhaust, and ECU’s, intakes, turn signals, frame protection, rotors, handlebars, etc.

Just finished the MSF course yesterday and gearing up to get one of these from a dealer in the Dallas area. As of today there are 7 available from the 2 dealers up there. I was "corrected" by the rider rider coach because I was only puting the left foot down and only using 2 fingers for the brake. Both coaches were strictly Harley riders. Why can't instructors be more like Papa Yam?!?!

[@johnhenderson1760]

I'm mostly a motorcycle newbie researching a first bike for general purpose (running errands, commuting, recreational riding), but know I need an upright (no sport bikes) position for comfort. I keep coming back to the Svartpilen 401. Despite my lack of previous knowledge, I was encouraged that you guys came up with the same comparison list as the spreadsheet I have, although I compared to the $5499 390 Duke instead of the 390 Adventure ($6199). I also had the Suzuki GW250 ($4099) and Honda CB300R ($4949) on my list initially, as they were in a similar price range, but dismissed them as they were significantly less powerful than the others. Jumping to the next larger size for those two manufacturers came at a couple thousand dollar premium ($7000-$9000+).

[@NariTheMan]

I've had my Svartpilen since Jan 4, 2020, and love it. I'll be getting a bigger bike but I'll keep this one too. Great bike to cruise around town

[@automobiili_xd6236]

Happy to get on the road with the 125cc A1-compliant version. Even though I am 5'5, the bike still fits me, and I don't feel like it is too tall for me.

[@dr.bherrin]

Keep it for a year? I have 26 years riding experience, my fleet has 8 bikes across all types and power, and this is my go-to bike since I bought it. The styling got me interested, the performance has keep me attached. I put my MT10 up on the lift because this is the one I want to ride the most. Buy it to learn, but you won't need to upgrade once you do. This is an all-around bike that will be fun for years, even once you're an old veteran.

[@KrishnenduKes]

Kinda agree. 38 years in motorcycling here!

[@timparkhouse9925]

@@ANDY1985UK2011 it's fine on the motorways - I've done a couple of hours of fast riding at a time. It can handle it but it's clearly not going to be nearly as comfortable and smooth as a bigger bike... which is in turn not going to be nearly so fun or nimble. It's all a compromise after all but I think the Svart 401 offers a lot of flexibility for not much sacrifice.

I bought a Svartpilen 401 and I'm very happy with it BUT I still think the best beginner bike is the 390 Duke. The Duke is cheaper, lighter, has a lower seat height, is better in corners, has more ground clearance, currently has more accessories (original and alternative Chinese), and equips the full color TFT display with KTM My Ride (pretty awesome in the 2020 model). I only bought the Husky because of the style and the light offroad capabilities of the Pirellis... and because I already had the Duke

[@henryrubenbass]

I Tried a used 2018 model and I'm metric 1,78 meter tall or short 😊 but I want a tall bike like a dual sport and this bike gave me that feel. Ton of fun and it gave me sense of riding an old school scrambler and even a dual sport, because of the seat and the handlebars and ofcourse the sound. It has the looks of something you could find in a barn from the 40's or 50's or if you put spikes on the body it would look strait out of a Mad Max movie. I am a returning rider and haven't been riding for many years but this bike felt as easy as riding a mountain bike. It felt great for cruising or commuting and dirt roads maybe not real dirt tracks. The suspension is super nice, excactly what I would like in a bike. I haven't tried a Duke 390 but peolpe say it's hard and set up for race, while the Svartpilen is set up for city riding with pot holes. I am not into that low seat hight is good for beginnners because, that means you have less overview of the traffic ahead. Just learn to have one foot down:) SO YES best beginner bike, but is it a bike that I would like to have for 5 years? Maybe I would go for SV 650 :) or do as many the MT07 the popular vote😉

A good friend of mine got tired of paying through the nose for his beloved KTM Adventure and swapped it for a 401. It's been over 6 months now and he's still over the moon with it.

[@FrenchyRider574]

Would you recommend this one or the duke 390 ?

[@jorgebarbera]

I've had both. The Duke is a smarter and even superior buy IMHO for a lot of reasons I already posted, but the Svartpilen has that scrambler look if you are into it and the dual purpose Pirellis. If you can reach the seat, the Husky also has more comfotable/less aggresive ergonomics

[@kerianhalcon3557]

I love the 401's they are little rocket-ships, deceptively fast, so light, and flickable!

[@CasparHakonsen]

Owned this bike for 4 weeks. Could not stand the display, small capasity fuel tank, VIBRATION on low-medium revs. This is my personal opinion, so I am eager get my hands on the XSR700 early spring next year. Love the videos tho. Thanks.

Reliability is a big problem with KTM. High compression motors = overheating = electric failure

[@anthony-barber]

Great bike, but seat height is a big issue for shorter people. That were the 2020 Honda Rebel 500 shines, low seat height, and same hp at 45 Hp. The Rebel is a great bike and fun.

[@sonofnone116]

I got an old shadow 750 instead of the svart because seat height. I'm 5'6 and i just couldnt make it work as a first timer. Now, a season later, i could totally do it and be a lot less sketched out. It's down to this and a T-Dub 🤣

I was legit heated when you recommended a DRZ 400 over the Svart 401 for that guy on the Yamcast who was looking for a small bike to be a commuter and once and a while hit the trails. Like common, this bike is sooooo much better every day than a pig DRZ.

[@princejames287]

Bros, im new to your videos. But damn son, finally someone does a ergonomics comparison to the motorcycle. 13:03 . I mean the most important thing to me is how the bike looks on a person based on there height. And NOBODY i have seen does an actual ergonomic real life comparison and rider explaining how the bike feels on them for there height. Dudes, i basically never follow anyone on youtube, because im not a follower in general. But you guys deserve a subscribe because FINALLY someone puts ergo side view of motorcycle and rider with height and how it feels for them on the bike. Genius, finally someone with brains did something in a motorcycle video that should of been just common sense and a part of bike videos from the beginning of youtube videos. Please always do this to every new bike. And have the the same 3 dudes do the ergos. Because there basically key to putting these ergo comparisons to the next level. Nobody else has a small, medium and large essentially riders to do the perfect ergos . Always do ergos on bikes like u did in this video please. ✌️🙌

Want it but feel like it'd look too small on me. The 701 is a big step up in price too. Choice for me is between these 2 and RE Continental GT 650

[@Soshi12005]

Funny enough, it’s 7k Aud and cheaper than almost all of its competitors from Yamaha Honda or Kawasaki

[@s0nicfreek]

Comparing to what line? In it's class, the Husky is one of the most expensive. 390 duke is less than 6 grand Cb500f is less than 7 Yammer hammer has their Mt-03 for 5ish But when it boils down to it, the way Husky took the 390 platform and transformed it into such a razer sharp ride and elegant bike. It's worth the premium imo. Also it might be different in the US but here it's about 7 too. Not being combative just generally curious what class of bikes were you comparing it to?

[@Soshi12005]

@@s0nicfreek I’m comparing it to 2020 models and their rideaway price in the Aus market. I am comparing it to its competitors - bikes in the 300-400cc street bike class such as MT03, R3, Ninja 400, Z400, D390, RC390, CB300R, CB500f. I believe only the KTM bikes are cheaper - by $150 at my local dealer
