I just re-read the press information, and it specifically says "A new speed limiter function on Svartpilen/Vitpilen 125 and Svartpilen/Vitpilen 401 → option to restrict maximum speed to use it as a cruise control functionality". It's a bit unclear to me - are they suggesting to set a limit and then just keep the throttle wide open to approximate cruise control? Or does it have cruise control? Just contacted their UK team to clarify but I'll pin this for others to see in the meantime 👍

I think it is just a limiter on you bike's maximum speed when you use your throttle (not like cruise control where you dont have to touch the throttle), that is what is there on duke 390 2024 same thing here.

😂😂 tvs rtr 310 have cornering cruise control

@@motobobthe same option is available on 24' D390 as well. It works as you mentioned, by setting a max limit and keeping the throttle wide open.

@@motobob I don't think ANY manufacturer would attempt to convey "cruise control" to a customer base with such crazy terminology. At least not that I've seen yet, and I've been all over manufacturers' sites of just about every single brand on the planet. I have see this "speed limiting" function as a feature on other brands, but it's not cruise control. You still have to grip the throttle tube and twist/hold. It just won't allow the engine to pull the bike past a given preset speed... like a pit limiter.

Exactly I have the preivous gen and this doesnt compare

But some peaple call navi 😂

​I prefer this one

Couldn't agree more dude

Kiska means "whose" in Hindi

@@Vikrum_ Exactly, but this doesn't refer to that. Kiska is an international product design company based in Anif, Salzburg in Austria

@@subhagnikpatgiri1919 kya, bhai, merko pata hai, kyun? But thank you, I guess. 🙃

For a KTM from Austria. Soooo Swedish…

it looks uglier; Was a designer bike now is one more. By the way I put 29000km with the clip ons always on the black top between 110 - 140km/h with some 155km/h accelerations. No problem at all but I ride old Triumph too (and wrench its) Now as a ·new· bike I ride a Triumph thruxton r with clip ons and fairing. I use the bikes as transportation

I have the previous gen Vitpilen. The clip-ons are not uncomfortable. If you don't like clip-ons don't buy them. Other people do that's why they're offered.

I own the Vitpilen 701 and think the clip-ons are what makes it unique, now it's even closer to being a Duke. To me it looks like the 401 lost some of its Cafe Racer aesthetics, which the clip-ons were a big part of. Hopefully the 901 won't disappoint.

You guys are in the minority. Thats why Husqvarna have dropped them, same reason Triumph dropped the Thruxton.

Right, and that's why Husky are going to sell them by the maases, because they made it a generic 400cc like all the rest of the segment and are dominant in this market. BTW also owned a V401 1st gen, gosh I loved that bike. I guess all those bells and whistles are what makes a bike's soul these days

That would be an easy fix if u really want that

They always try to find ways to make bike cheaper. Thats the reason for the sad changes in the design.

They have a 901 coming?

Not until we have the 390 Adventure

hi, can you comment on wintery roads?

how great would you say the mt07 is compared to a svart?

@@yungmurkz9229 I’ve never rode a svart so I can’t compare anything other than just the specs of the bikes and sitting on a svart at the dealership. If you are just going to ride on the street then the mt07 will be faster and perform way better in general in every way. It is also more expensive than both the vit and svart so you are paying extra money for that extra performance. If you are just riding on the street I would not buy a bike like the Svart that comes with knobbies from the factory. If you want to do any off-road/ gravel riding I would not buy a mt07. In my opinion those are 2 completely different bikes for 2 completely different purposes. My 2022 Yamaha Mt07 is a great street bike for sure though. I have a 2017 Honda Crf250L dual sport on knobbies for the dirt and gravel.

yeah, now there's not much difference between svart and vit

I wonder if the new tank design will be compatible with clip-ons.

I hope so, i have a 2021 vitpilen, plan to get the svart and fit the clip ons

157 mm.. More than enough

I also bought a 2023 vitpilen and I’m happy with my purchase because I got a really good deal as it was just after Thanksgiving and there was a $1000 rebate plus they waived the “freight” and other dealer fees. However, it is a little bit bitter sweet as I did know they would have a TFT display, I didn’t know it would have turn by turn navigation and music synced with your phone… I also kind of like the new look it’s a little cleaner and looks a little more premium and refined. But that’s obviously subjective. Anyway no matter how you slice it, it’s a good bike to learn on that looks unique.

I just bought a 2023 svart and had a lot of the same thoughts as both of you. Bummer about the TFT and the fuel tank (and seat height since I had mine lowered 🥲), but on the whole I do like the design of the outgoing model better

@@zerosandones701 you had your seat lowered, how? The seat height was one of the things on the new version that I was happy I got the older one because I’m 6’ 1” and I’m already kind of big on the thing. I think they lowered it by something like .7 of an inch? Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it probably is substantial when you sit on it.

@@teddysurf OEM lowering kit, lowers it 1" via the suspension. Got it installed at the dealer but def feels like a big improvement over sitting on the display model. I'm 5'6" so it's nice for stopping on uneven surfaces etc

@@zerosandones701 oh, I didn’t even know they had an OEM lowering kit that lowers the suspension. So is the ground clearance on your bike awful? I know it’s a vitpilen and it doesn’t go off road, but the clearance was already kind of low because they moved the exhaust and then put on a skid plate.
