They are all like 5 to 6k in Colorado used lol

@@Partnerthedog well they’re 5 to 6k in Texas brands new also that’s the base model

@@oscarguijosa7881 even in Texas you have to pay taxes. After all the fees, every 401 costs 6,000 brand new, for the base model. They are 5k before tax. Everyone wants 5000 to 5200 for them used In Colorado some are 5500. But msrp is only 4,999

Hows the cost of maintenance? Lot to maintain or just normal stuff?

Mehari Fikre thanks!

KB3AOL M thanks! I really didn’t mean to go with Swedish flag colors specifically. It just ended up that way haha.

you are missing out unless you ride it.

Holy shit IDK, maybe just the simplicity, but it's the best looking thing I've ever seen.

Because it's blue. I couldn't find a blue one and realized this one must be wrapped, it's really ugly in it's default metalic silver form imo... I find it interesting that people call the Duke 390 ugly over this? I think they both are quirky as hell looking and it's either way.

Ye my backroads are like 90% potholes

Right on!

No wrist neck pain?

@@stanL9 it depends on your height i guess If you're a taller guy then buy a svartpilen

@Stan stark I guess my arse is not that soft ... seems fine but I am getting it rebuilt soon .. the foam is dying and it is getting harder.

@Stan stark I have been riding since 1979 - I have ridden on a wooden plank for 6 hours... must have leather backside by now.... Anyway - small tank so you get off every 150km to put gas in the tank. I can not stress enough - the ride is worth it. Short twitchy and grunty - with Cat delete and LV-10 fattening out the midrange makes it a tight road monster - and New Zealand is full of tight roads, one lane bridges and a full range of weather. I am, however talking to a mate who owns a clever upholstery company about reshaping and re-foaming the seat. Just ride one....

@@shuttzi9878 If your short should you buy the duke instead?

Wish they launch 401 /701 too..❤️❤️

Fire Dog, where are you? I just purchased one for my son last week. One of the better dealer experiences I’ve had and I’ve purchased many new luxury cars from brands whose dealers specialize in “buying experience”.

I’m in west Texas. I was just looking though. I really don’t “need” another bike right now.

Fire Dog, let me know if you do though and I’ll give you all the pricing info I was able to get and what I was able to negotiate.

Go with the 390! Way more comfortable overall and I loved the looks personally.

Just change to Svartplien handlebars and she is a whole other beast. Needs the air box and ecu mods along with that exhaust to really sound and go.

@@MrRourk Or just get a svartpilen. Basically the exact same bike but way more comfortable. I've hit 100 on my wife's before with the stock exhaust and I'm around 190lb.

That's awesome Alex! I was sad that he sold her, I hope you are enjoying it.

Attention Deficit I most definitely am how could you not!

They are sweet! Not a fan of the riding position though

The 701 isn’t much heavier but pretty much double the power. It feels bigger too. People have carved canyons, tore up tracks and cruised city streets on this bike. To me, it’s a great “do-it-all” option.

@@shankdrummer06 I've got a 2020 Vitpilen 401. I much prefer the 401. You can flick it around so easily.

It also makes a couple less ponies than the Ktm, the tunes are slightly different. Ktm is all about “ready to race” so of course the Duke is gonna have the more agressive tune. Husky is a sweet looking bike for sure though.

@@revmatchproductions They make the exact same hp and torque.

Jason Turner check out his last video on the KTM. The specs are identical so I didn’t want to rehash his last video. Short and sweet. 😎

@@shankdrummer06 Makes sense! I did see that one. Nice bike CB! How's your back after you ride that for awhile?

Jason Turner I think you get used to it. Like riding a sport bike. I rode all day Columbus Day and while I was fatigued, my back wasn’t hurting. Just tired from a full day of riding!

@@shankdrummer06 nice! If I'm ever riding down that way I'll look you up! I'm up in the Akron area. Ride safe bro!

They make awesome systems for the $. I'd love to hear that thing rip in person.

If you have a soft fat backside it may be a bit hard - my firm tail is very happy on the vitpilen.

@@madpete6438 At the end of the day, that's all that matters. Before I got took out by a cager, I had a FZ-09. Most fun bike I ever had, even with the seating slanting into the tank. All that matters is your like your whip.

Ayyyeee 😁

Nathan, I'm in the same boat. Gonna get a svartpilen this week and I'm having to go to another state to get it. I'm in Georgia, gonna head over to Alabama, or possibly Florida to pick it up. Worth the Ride IMO.

Nice fact!!👍🏻

Yep I forgot to mention that.

This one is Blue arrow ❤️

Phil Razzi I bought bars for it. Just need to put them on.

Qhat steering dampner

We all have our own taste! I prefer the Duke as well👍🏻

Wingdwolf 56 no way man, no crap given here! Like Tanner said, we all have our own tastes. If we all liked the same thing, we’d all be riding GSXR’s haha.

Thruxtonbill The saying back in the day was “chocolate and vanilla” but my dad always said strawberry cuz he said “ Never follow the crowd!”

Yeah there are different tastes... I like the ergonomy of ktms and the lightweight. But the look is not acceptable for me.

I understand we're all entitled to our own opinions but just know that you are wrong taking is better looking than a husky

I took the existing metal bracket that came with the bike, drilled out the slots a little wider and attached the plate to it. See my IG for pics. @cbus401

exactly

Well the look of the vitpilen is for sure nicer for me but there are aftermarket handlebar conversions available...

BUT The svartpilen has lower gearing so not as awesome on the open road - very good around town and in traffic. BTW I have a Vitpilen and my son has a Svartpilen (his girl friend has a Duke 390) - I think we can comment from a position of deep knowledge !

wuquo the duke is way too ‘aggressive’ looking for its own good haha, the svart is better looking in every way lol. I’m biased of course because I ride a 401

Is the Vitpilen really as uncomfortable as they say

They make fantastic products, machining looks top notch. Can't beat it for the value.

It’s wrapped!

@@AdventureDaily is it a custom wrap or did you have someone do it? Elaborate, that shit is SICK!!!!

Cody & Brooke Hanson nope. Not one. Those issues are mostly found in the 701’s.

Yes we are. 👍

@@shankdrummer06 nice man! I'm Worthington Sawmill area.

Jan Alamares, it is a separate bracket that comes in a pouch with other pieces/parts that you receive when you purchase it.

AYOUSTIN yep it just replaces the factory exhaust. Cat is still on there. It comes with a DB killer too if it’s too loud with your cat delete. Definitely a good-sounding system.

I ended up changing the bars and it made the Vit a lot more comfy. Seat is still hard, but I’d still say the Duke sits upright more.

He mentioned it was a wrap at the beginning of the video 1:32

@@raizerwolf9041 ah yes I totally missed it. Thank you

His lights are working though, why would they be broken

Stock brake light. Amazon turn signals.

Those are stock clip-ons. But I did change to higher bars later.

funny videos it’s a wrap. The color is Gloss Light Blue from Avery Dennison.

@Josh Shank thanks bro, and wbu husqvarna logo yellow one.

A piece that came with the bike. Just kind of made it work.

Well Josh A-Stars sweater lol thanks

hec feliciano it’s the Alpine Stars Milestone 2 jacket. I love it. It’s wind proof too.

It’s from a local guy that I know.

I just had a friend custom print them.

I used a bracket that came with the bike and made my own.

Coffman’s Exhaust

Seems like a good deal!

From what I have witnessed, yes!

Yeah at 6’7 I wouldn’t buy one.

THey mentioned that it's a wrap

It’s wrapped

Go with the Coffman's exhaust!

Three pieces

It should say on their website, if not send them an email!

Did you get an ECU upgrade, or change sprockets?

@@nurzrachit7133 nope

Guess you just got one with a bit more kick!! Man, the more I see the svartpilen the more I like it! Honestly, I had kinda given up on New bikes because I don't like the way many of them look, but the Husqvarna svartpilen 401 is totally unique and attractive.

Fastest I was able to get this one was 111mph.
