Old Fart here. Heck, the Svartpilen 401 has more suspension travel than the enduro's I rode in the 1970's. (That's dual sports for you young people). It also has a LOT more power. The Honda and Yamaha 500's had less than 30 hp!

No offense but thats kind of a stupid question...just think about it! someone with no experience vs an over 600lb bike vs a 'Beginner' with a small cc sport bike that weighs under 400lbs...its just physics. thus why small cc bikes are considered beginner bikes as you can learn with no experience without yeeting yourself into nonexistence. Its not just for beginners but its definitely more conducive to learning on a small cc bike.

I still think between the Vit and the Svart that someone at KTM made a mistake on the design approvals for both bikes. The exhaust routing for both seems backwards. The svartpilen has a more direct underslung header pipe while the Vitpilen has a tidy exhaust that coils around the engine. Why does me vit need that ground clearance?

I own a duke. what do you think about putting some tyres like the svartpilen ones, not for 100% off-roading. but for some trips when maybe there are some gravel or dirt roads and then go back to the street tyres. i´m really happy with it so far, but i´m still a little far from owning two bikes at the same time. and since the duke and the svartpilen shares so much. maybe is a good setup for some little adventures.

I know this video is a little older now, but you can buy the exhaust systems from earlier svartpilen/vitpilen bikes to increase ground clearance. The 2018 model and prior had exhausts that routed up and around the side of the engine, giving better ground clearance, since there haven't been any major changes to the frame design older exhausts fit like the new ones.

But 3 months in and I've discovered how versatile this bike is. I go into jungle and gravel trails with my friends in their Adv 390, toured on highway along with some Dominars and Duke 390s and go on city rides almost everyday. It does everything pretty well. Truly a Jack of all trades, master of none (since its my 1st bike, I prefered something that's not a master of one).
