why I personally bought a Husqvarna Vitpilen 401

[@ljekatt]

Nice looking bike! As a Swede it is fun to see you on Swedish stuff so here’s a bit of trivia for you. Husqvarna is a Swedish town and could translate to (Hus=house kvarn=mill). Vit is the color white and pilen translate to the arrow, vitpilen = the white arrow. Svartpilen = the black arrow.

There’s something to be said for leveling up and stepping away from old stuff that’s always broken. Congrats on your new whip.

[@shawnwakeman6324]

Tell your friend with the Sweet Molly Hatchet artwork on his sportster gas tank your fans say hi! Cool bike. Thank you for the mini Vlog.

[@DerHackbart]

Congrats on the new ride! Loving the aesthetics on it and feeling your thoughts about modern 400s. Ride safe!

[@Husqpr0]

where you get seat cowl can you send me a link

[@davedelarosa319]

I've been a long time admirer of Husky/KTM, and have a bad itch for a Svart, but I just can't convince myself to pull the trigger. However, thanks for the requested vlog, and many happy miles to you on your new newness.

[@johnbaca8692]

Older bikes are definitely my faves, but you made the right choice!!! I was looking at Svartpilens because I'm a speed junkie. I'm now raising my grand kids, so I think I'm getting too old to be motorcycling in modern day San Diego county.

im a guy who likes to ride motorcycles, but isn't really into motorcycles. i have a couple vintage bikes that i really love, but my god you just can't trust em. i bought a vit 401 in 2020, i wasn't sure. was a great price, loved the look, love a thumper....but was worried about a moto costing so little being a good performer. thought i might sell it after a year or two, but i really love it. sometimes i feel silly as a man in my forties on a small displacement bike, sometimes i don't care. has not been without problems, but nothing too major or disappointing. hope you continue to enjoy yours

1:35 $4,000 Canadian to US $2,942.10 today's rate! 🤘

[@johnnydoe66]

Congrats on the new ride!

[@corrado9076]

Heard in the vid you was your focused on off-road riding vids, just to let you know I enjoyed the road content as well 😊sweet bike btw!

[@GrantGridley]

seeing the old shed is wild. I bet so many memories in that shed.

[@BruceChastain]

I can dig it for sure.

[@timleborgne]

Awesome bike and great riding shots! Have fun man (and be safe;)!

[@alexanderm7270]

The Vit401 was my first bike, just last year. Stolen. That said, nobody asks me about my 650, but EVERYONE asked me about my 401. Would I exchange my 650? no.... Would I like a 401 forever? yes. Its a lightweight dream. So much fun.

[@tomatostakefabrik9429]

Congratulations! Sweet bike!

[@AbeAlSaleh]

I have never been more tempted to get back into motorcycles...

[@alexxela754]

I couldn’t stand the temptation. I just bought a 2023 Vitpilen 401. Just awesome.

[@davegillett4036]

I had this bike as my desktop background for a long time.

[@zu_1455]

Fantastic. Can't wait for the studded tires vid :P

[@DmitryKoupriyanov]

Genuinely thought you'll take the bike on the ramp at some point in the video.

[@recreationventuring]

Stoked for you! Now you just need a rack to take your bike to the bike park.

[@MW-ud8zp]

Very cool machine. I'm not into motorcycles at all but it looks great!

[@antonioybarra9723]

You make great videos,, I enjoy all your videos,, thanks buddy

[@qualm43]

The caballero 500 scrambler is the best looking bike currently being made.

[@itsmahreeoh]

yooooo congraaaats! just got mine like 2 weeks ago (Svartpilen). and debating if i should switch to the clip on handlebars, i really like that look but everyone's saying how uncomfortable that is .... all of my (pedal) bikes are pretty slammed (agressive) like yours, do you find the vitpilen uncomofrtable? also i've just ordered an exhaust for it that (imo) goest best with the bike - fresco ff shorty. hopefully gets delivered before i put it in storage for the year lol

[@SiopaoSauc3]

Just hit over 2 months with my Svart. Your Vit looks like one of the earlier made in Austria ones before they did iron some of the kinks out. But at least you got the exhaust routing through the frame and not under the engine like in the current generation ones where the ground clearance is really bad, especially for a scrambler styled bike

[@thuggooch1776]

Nice bike! My dream bike right now is the Yamaha TW200. I'm not gonna lie though for a pavement pounder this thing looks legit.

[@Patife_PT]

Nice bike, congrats! I own the Svartpilen and i like it a lot. I could be wrong but i think they have the foot pegs on the exact same place.

[@Spindatt]

only way for us to know for sure is each purchase the opposite bike haha

[@Patife_PT]

Do it! 😅

[@neelsahay5227]

The Vitpilen is a sweet bike, but that old XS400 is beautiful.

[@paulstanese5361]

Plz do more motorcycle vlogs

[@MikeyTiger37]

Nice! Now get that BMX rack welded on there 😂

[@pratikpramanik7782]

Can you put bicycle panniers on motorcycles?

[@justahunk]

My motor on my G310 GS exploded so I was looking at Nordens from Husq

[@clint2627]

I’m not a motorcycle guy but it looks super cool

[@aaronbehindbars]

$4k Maple Bucks = $3k US That's not a bad deal. These are such cool, modern, and cleanly styled bike. Didn't Husky discontinue the 701 Svart/Vit?

[@SiopaoSauc3]

Yes 701s are discontinues. Possible 2024 updates to the 401 and a launch of Svart/Vit 901 based on the Norden/KTM890 platform.

[@marvinflocke2093]

hi, what mirrors do you use? looks great

[@glennpettersson9002]

No carb loading required 👍

[@montgomery3605]

You are right about the two differences, but…but an essential truth is that you can also buy the KTM Duke 390. The reason I went KTM was that the Duke has a completely upright sitting posture with a seat height lower than the Svartpilen. I was contemplating getting a Vitpilen and switching out the handlebars, but why? When the KTM already had exactly what I wanted. I do prefer the neutral colors of the pilens, but my Duke is mainly black, except for the wheels and frame in KTM orange. You can’t win them all!

[@tillman5529]

Good. Though I am a little bit envious now :)

[@lincolnadair9141]

I’m here for motovlog Spindatt

[@NoeAVillarreal]

That’s a nice ride 👌🏻

[@MisterSal9895]

Nice bike I finally got myself a motorcycle as well. I can't go back to purchasing carbureted bikes after owning a fuel injected bike.

[@TheBassman396]

Nice bike

[@EricVuTran]

How long into riding does your wrist and neck start to hurt?

[@Spindatt]

Almost immediately after leaving the garage on it

[@dblakedickson]

No “FRIENDS 👏” intro? 😢 But seriously, seems like a sick bike!

[@JohnnyPowRides]

Love it

[@arturogutierrez3]

How tall are you? I'm 1.82 and believe it might be to small for me

[@boatbikemike8571]

That is a cool bike

[@skinheads]

Single seater so I'm guessing Angela isn't invited for a ride? 😆

[@SiopaoSauc3]

That's a removable shell over the pillion seat.

[@sim_dude]

make me want to get a motorbike again

[@pumpkinpieguy498]

👍💯👌

[@planepower8523]

its still a "bicycle" right? 2 wheels, handlebars, a saddle.... It just happens that it is "powered". Still applicable content!

[@oftankoftan]

YOU DIDN'T SAY "👏 FRIENDS!"
