Hello, I'm 5'8 145lbs and really wanting n debating on buy a 401 Vitpilen. Are they quick off the line at a red light? I basically only 5 miles one way to work and zip around Downtown Los Angeles. Previous bikes were Drz400 Suoermoto and Honda Grom. What do you think?

I had the 401 and loved it for my first motorcycle... If I could have kept it and had 2, I would have... But I sold it and immediately got its bigger brother in the Vitpilen 701. It's awesome!

i got the svartpilen 401 and just love this thing but like almost everybody else who owned a husky the seat height is my biggest problem. I can only tiptoe it which takes away my self-confidence especially considering me being a new rider and the svart 401 being my very first bike. still a great and recommendable bike

Well….I have a Svartpilen 401 that I really like. The seating position is great, I can understand that at your height it is somewhat challenging. On thing I find with mine is not so much the seat height but the width down the tank that results in a reduction of the reach to the ground…

I got a 2020 Vit 701 for my first bike and am also off of A1A in Cocoa Beach. I absolutely love the bike! It's been a blast learning to ride on this bike and would highly recommend them. The bike gets tons of attention wherever I go. So far my longest journey has been ripping around town for about 4 hours and I still felt comfortable at the end of the ride. Seat height isn't an issue for me since I'm on the taller side at 6'1" I installed the Leo Vince decat pipe with the LV10 slip on and paired with the Coober ECU. She looks good, she sounds good, and she rides good. Couldn't be more in love with it.

Wow! I have truly enjoyed your videos. In fact, they are in part why I ended up buying the '21 Svartpilen. I liked the more upright stance and the re-design of the newer model, and they are still pretty affordable. I just had to wait a while for mine, like 4 moths, due to manufacturer issues with production and shipping. But after viewing the vid with your many good points, I can understand why you made the move. Sounds like you went with something much more powerful and beefy. Thanks for all the great videos. Looks like we're neighbors. I recognize A1A in all of your rides. Lol. I'm in Ft Lauderdale.

The other thing is the super aggressive position you take while riding, which makes the bike uncomfortable for long rides.

Went from inline 4s to this, it's a struggle getting used to the harsh clunkyness of the single but it's even worse than the 2 stroke singles I grew up with. Can't tell if my quickshifters working as it's way worse than just clutchless shifting a super sport and I'm not used to having to rev so early. But I still love it, I got the svart as needed something light and slightly off-road able.

@hob976 Жыл бұрын
@@duncle1253 None of the stall issues. Actually, it's hard to think of any issues that wouldn't make me buy it again in a heartbeat. But I'll tell you all the issues I can think of. It's a single cylinder so it has a rumble to it. Mix that with the knobbier tires and you get even more rumble. But it LOOKS like a bike that should rumble. And it still rides pretty smooth. The gas tank size gets old pretty fast. My work commute is about an hour both ways ( through mountains ) and I top it off every day to stay out of trouble. I've had a close call. But in my truck that drive is $25 ( everyday ) and on the Svartpilen it's $6 bucks! And more fun. The bike is so light it almost feels like I can pick it up. Which is nice when you have to maneuver it in your garage. It's super easy to walk it around and I can pick up the back to swing it around. But when you're on a throughway with tractor trailers, you get blown around pretty good. Despite what people have said, this bike isn't brimming with power. It delivers what you think 370 cc's would deliver. That's a small enough engine that your weight ( I'm 200 lb ) feels like it matters. With my girl on it with me, I avoid highways. It doesn't really want to go 75 mph with 2 people on it ( just my experience ). I should add that I haven't switched the pipe or eliminated the catalytic converter er anything. It's stock. I'm good with the power it's got... Don't buy this bike for power... But for "around town" and short drives, and tight areas, this bike feels like you have crazy advantage. It's really narrow and maneuverable. And you just f**king look cool... Put some handle end mirrors on it and this bike looks like it's from another time. Either 30 years ago or 30 years in the future... one of 'em. Dude, when I walk by this bike in my garage, I almost smile at it ( every time ). It's so cool just sitting there waiting for me. I see why people get fanatical about the Svartpilen 401.
