Husqvarna is for those people..who want to enjoy ktm without the Chapri tag 😂

[@iamstrell]

In other words 😂

[@kimicki]

Husqvarna is anti chhapri bike 🚳

[@OlafThorbjorn]

So so true 😂

[@nichithcn7119]

🤓

[@user-mp8sx1gy2m]

Wait until they start modifying it

[@nachidalvi]

I loved the duke 390 and I get why the design is the way it is, but I personally like more subtle looking bikes. This solves that issue quite beautifully. It’s basically still a mad duke underneath that minimal design.

[@probesport]

I may have missed it if you said already, but did you add the crash bars or were they on there factory? If you added, which ones did you use?

[@alvaroalicata8239]

Do you feel the difference between setting the suspension as softest and as hardest possible? Will it work for a soft offroad?

[@jnana1985]

Waiting for your Aprillia 457 ride review!!

[@prajwalshah8249]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[@jatinbamane8825]

Waiting for Spied Retro Aprilia 457!🤞

[@hotshot0409]

damn nice video, Now waiting for a Review on Vitpilen and Aprillia rs 457..

[@balabhargavkavuluri6153]

What's the equipment and software used for filming the video?

[@MedicOnAMotorcycle]

Was it somewhere near the Pavana lake? It looks like Pavana lake in the intro part.

[@shameempk007]

Waiting for Vitpilen 250 2024 Review.

[@atharvadixit756]

Scrambler 400x vs this, which should I choose, for city and highway(rarely offroad) which should I choose??

[@sportstourerpratz8148]

What is accurate power number 43 or 46?? Some websites shows 43 thats why asking???

[@AdamBlumenfelder]

Does anybody know where you can buy these black crash bars from that are shown in the video? In germany I cannot find them.

[@kaushikgj1181]

Pls do 1 on Vitpilen as well!

[@tejasgangarde]

Somehow wire wheels paired with Pirelli scorpion strs made husqy look way more better and heavy/bulkier. For sure.

[@aspect359]

What to choose between the rc 390 and this one im 5'8 btw

[@shubh.kumar.01]

Eagerly waiting for the street triple 765, 2024 in your hands 🙂

[@gagachang.]

In all probability expecting the Vitpilen 401 to be more menacing than the svartpilen. Any idea when you might get your hands on it for a review?

[@tal2471983]

Sorry if this is a total noob question I noticed that you don't use the clutch when accelerating and shifting gears.. am I missing something?

[@sk5130]

Has the distance between seat and handlebar increased than earlier version.

[@Wizards546]

Can you please do a video on Husqvarna Vitepilen 250 as well?

[@asterix908]

I think the 401 is more scrambler than most road motorcycles. the suspension and brakes are much better than motorcycles in this class. suspension travel of 120mm is standard with Hondas and others in this class. Honda CB, Yamaha XSR all have roughly 120mm suspension. The new Honda scrambler is little better in this regard with almost 150mm suspension travel, but the svarts already have 150mm front and rear. Its more pleasant on bumps on the road.

[@aryankale5179]

Strell do make a review on the latest apache rtr 160 4v

[@josephabraham9081]

Bro can we swap out the top triple clamp of this new 2024 svartpilen with the older generation vitpilen clip on style triple clamp? Because the new 2024 vitpilen comes with handlebars, instead of the OG clip on.

[@rocka07]

You can do anything with your bike. But they changed it to be more comfortable.

[@NastyMonke]

Amazing video! Try making cinematic videos like FortNine sometimes ❤

[@iamstrell]

Thank you 😊

[@monke1172]

I like your videos as is

[@RaMpArT02]

Banger review of a beautiful bike! Did Husqverna give any indication if they'll be bringing their counterparts (Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 401) to India at a later date?

[@rocka07]

it will depends on the sales of these 2 for sure

[@bilalansari348]

401 seriously looks so much better than the 250.. I wish they had a little bit more ground clearance but it would result in increased seat height.. I think there should be a simpler variant of this motorcycle too decreasing the overall cost..

[@1324193a]

You are the only reviewer talking more about Vibrations ..... YES I TOO FEEL I HAS WIERD HIGH VIBRATIONS .... but Duke390 was never like that ... Not sure if its because of the wheels/Tyre or whatever this has really bad vibrations !!! and the engine feels very rough unlike the new Duke390 !!!

[@ChapriHaiTu]

is it good for beginners

[@siddharthsharma8940]

Which is the white helmet that the rider is wearing?

[@naveen3408]

Is it good for touring??

[@manirathinampalani9627]

Hey! Can you do a touring review of this bike please?

[@panshulverma4292]

will you do more videos on duke 390

[@bisweswarpatra6256]

Background song intro feels like watching 'hary dutt real estate’s youtube videos

[@ChinmayKashid]

One of the biggest con of Duke 390 for me was it was cramped for my height(6 feet) this one is roomier and more accommodating so definately looks positive

[@Drbiking5171]

Please do a review on husky 250

[@stephanematis]

Wish the new airbox had not filled the hole where the old Duke and earliest 401's could route their exhaust. So we cannot mod this generation with older exhaust pipe path to gain back ground clearance. This is where Euro 5 gets in the way of a better bike package, or perhaps this is the pragmatic outcome of KTM engineering finding no alternative to the low exhaust pipe option.

[@shameempk007]

What do you think of exchanging my svartpilen 250 to the new vitpilen 250?

[@iamstrell]

You will love it for the power, stability, and the new console.

[@always_kavish]

Hi @iamstrell, Will it be a good choice to buy , by selling honda highness 350? Btw like your work 👍🏼

[@iamstrell]

It's a good buy in terms of power. But you will heavily miss the refinement of the CB350

[@always_kavish]

@@iamstrell Thank you. Any suggestions for honda nx 500!

[@gauravsharma893]

How does the pure riding feel of Svartpilen 401 compare to that of Honda CB300R? I know they r 60k apart in pricing and different CCs, but the they both get the Power to weight ratio right. Also they both r great street/roadster bikes! Please suggest from your purely personal & subjective experience with the 2 bikes. Keep doing the great job that you do. Thank you.

[@pratikmahajan1318]

@Strell please address the above question. which one of the two is more fun and reliable? are new 399 engines and electronics niggle free?

[@Odiduper]

Bro shotgun 650 Malayalam review cheyyuvo

[@subhabrataghosh1874]

The speed 400 and Duke 390 don't have the same engine. Honestly both of them feel so different even with a short test ride

[@rocka07]

Everyone is complaining about the tail, the easiest part to change. They made it like that so the mud wont go in the rider or pilions back since mud guard wasnt enough last time 😂😂😂

[@madwithmechinezz6878]

Hi machaa❤

[@ahmedmda9138]

401 or cb300r?

[@MadM0nkey]

Are these true tube tyres or tubeless with tube ?

[@iamstrell]

Tube tyres

[@ALLINONE-kk7px]

Very honest review

[@Cla55icG00se]

Why does it have tubed tires? Whats the logic? Does it have any benefits compared tubeless ones for this bike?

[@MAX-xw8xq]

Spokes can take more abuse than the alloy wheels. Bent wheels can be repaired. Less cost to price the bike below 390

[@arunta33]

Is it good for small touring with wife ?

[@weewee5398]

Do trident 660 next

[@youtubeuser73]

does this bike look small like husqvarna 250s ? 250s are really small they look like toy bikes.

[@sarvalakshanyukta]

Can anyone tell me how is it for a rider whose height is 5.5 to 5.6

[@aswanthsoman]

[@vijayakumars5367]

Bruh is it possible to do touring comfortably with pillion with necessary modifications?

[@iamstrell]

Yes it's a comfortable bike for highway tours

[@_blurrrrr_]

was thinking to get my first motorcycle, which is better Himalayan or this?

[@sportstourerpratz8148]

Himalayn is heavy this is best or 250 duke is more safe if you are not experienced rider

What to choose between Triumph Scrambler 400 and Husqvarna svartpilien 401 ?

[@iamstrell]

I will choose the Scrambler 400 because it's a more all rounder motorcycle. Svartpilen is mainly city riding.

[@whatreally9]

​@@iamstrellif you factor in the adjustable suspension then you are dead wrong. Makes a huge difference

[@a.kwheels1064]

We need hero mavric 440 review

[@pradeepbhojwani8139]

No tubeless. What’s gonna happen when the tyre punctures at 130 kmph. 😢

[@mohankrishna3521]

Can we opt for alloy wheels?

[@iamstrell]

There is no option. But Duke rims can be fitted.

[@aditya.s.]

@@iamstrellold Husqy Alloys can also be fitted. Same size and dimensions.

[@pravinmurthy]

Yes, the Vitpilen 250 alloys easily fits into this..

[@mohankrishna3521]

@@pravinmurthy like can we ask them to fit alloy instead of spoke wheels while buying

[@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajREtvs]

​@@aditya.s.it is not possible. Old one had brake disc on the left. New one have it on the right. Do you make your own drills to fit the disc ?

[@deepanshgoswami3630]

One thing I don't like about this, they took half of the frame from Duke. Last one was completely different

[@myselfyuvi]

Correction at 3:03 Speed 400 and Duke 390 engines are totally different!! ✌️

[@iamstrell]

Infact KTM agreed this 😄

Hi bro, I am using cb 350 rs Planning to buy Husqvarna 401 . is this better option?

[@santprakash128]

Just a feedback, it would be better if you talk a little slowly.

[@pistonhead05]

Power is different in duke 390 and this one, it creates only 42.5bhp but duke makes 45bhp

[@karthikchamz]

I knew you’re a mallu with your pronunciation!

That isn't a tubeless tyre?

[@iamstrell]

Nope. Tube tyre

[@siddharth4406]

2020 svartpilen 250 owner. This newer version looks ugly af. The engine, the display and the fuel tank are the only positives.

[@iRishabh91]

Wait. Speed 400 has a different engine I believe. You said it uses the same engine as 390. Correct me if I am wrong

[@iamstrell]

Even KTM agrees it 😁

[@iRishabh91]

@@iamstrell but how come? Speed must be having longer stroke and maybe an undersquared cylinder setup unlike KTMs which sit on the opposite end

[@metaversewr8827]

Im sorry but the duke is duke, I'd chooss it over this anyday, simple, better looks, better handling, ridiculously good features, raw power feel, light, nimble and highly maneuverable it's just too good, just got one this month 🥳

Waw...how original, you are like nr.2000486 ,praising Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 on KZbin.... And you are one of those who sleeps with crash helmet on ,how original and how mysterious ...😍 Husqvarna have mad e a right choice for promotions of the bike on your channel. This would be a reason ,why I would never ever buy same thing from Husqvarna.. Than you..💗

[@royalroy93]

Number plate ruined the front look.

[@yobrokyaseen]

Is it worth buying over Duke 390?

[@thirtytwodey]

Heck no.

[@iamstrell]

Make sense for someone who rides frequently with Duke over bad roads.

[@chandansoren.4046]

It's almost 20k cheaper though make sense ​@@thirtytwodey

[@goofy5607]

Other than the tubed tyres I prefer this over the 390, so if they come out with a tubeless version of this I’d say yes..but go to the showroom, test ride and only then decide

[@ROHANBEHERA-os6ty]

With that 20k add vitpilien alloys and then add 10k opolo h1 or 18k Michelin road 5 then it is...a perfect beast...😄😄
