Great video dude, I'll get mine next week - been watching many vids and had two test rides. Coming from a four cylinder GSR 600 I (still) immediately fell in love with the big single. It needs you to pay attention to the revs but gives you sooo much back! QS, the power to weight ratio and obviously the looks are just like icing on the cake :)

Your are spot on about riding it in town, wish I knew this before buying mine because I do most of my riding in town. (I live in a large town in the UK) So after 20 minutes it is a nightmare because it is mostly in the low rev range I get wicked vibrations at the bars and my right hand starts to go numb which is not fun. Do I like the bike Yes, would I recommend the bike No. I am deafly not a fan of the Svartpilen’s looks so would not consider that one. If they made the Vitpilen with straight bars I think this then could have been a very good all round bike?
@scandimc5 жыл бұрын
od1r 73 thx! You can buy some aftermarket bars for it. But it looks a lot cooler with clip ons🤙
@od1r735 жыл бұрын
Scandi MC I could but knowing my luck things like the wiring and brake and clutch hoses would not reach, then there is the ball ache of getting and swapping the top yoke. There are a few concept drawings on line (Pinterest) with straight bars which look pretty cool also. I am hoping they will make a 801 out of the KTM 790 which being a twin should be better at low revs. Anyway safe riding Chap.

Great review ! This engine has a big oil consumption for a lot of people (on the 690 SMC R and 701 Supermoto). What about you ? Did you have to put some oil in the engine between your rides ?

There have been issues with the plastic tsnk getting a leak apparently. Ive had no issues at all with mine. I dont run ethanol and only use petrol. Other than that no problems at all. Best bike Ive ever had. Very well designed. Fantastic balance. I sometimes dont put my feet down at a stop sign and it corners like its on rails. Also best braking Ive ever experienced on a road bike. Check the Vitpilen Forum on the net.

Hello!! What differences does vitpilen have compared to duke 690? that is to say, the duke has several modes of driving between them the sport, the vitpilen is how to carry the duke in sport or in conford mode? From what I see in the data sheets the vitpilen has 75cv and the duke 73cv, those 2 extra horses are noticeable? Or do you only notice at top speed? Thanks and regards!!
@scandimc5 жыл бұрын
Payasoguai00078 the vitpilen has quickshifter, a more aggressive seating position. The vitpilen doesnt have riding modes. You wont notice the power difference and the vitpilen is 10kg heavier than the duke.
