At first I really didn't like the face-lift from the precious gen but looking at it up close its really grown on me. I think it's still one of the best looking bikes on the market. Love that sort of naked cyberpunk look.

The Svart should have a 19" front.
With the option of tubeless rims.

Bought this bike two weeks ago and im so excited when i get my licence to actually drive it😱😂🔥💯🔥💯🔥( its my first bike)

[Dushyant]

Why don't companies provide tubeless spoked wheels as standard?

[michaelsmith]

I have the previous model and I think all the improvements are great. Here is a couple more I noticed, the mirrors are now wide enough to see past your shoulders. The previous mirrors were very narrowly mounted. You can check and top up the coolant without having to remove the right side cover which you have to on mine.

SOOO glad I hunted down a 2022 - 23 version. I considered waiting a little longer but the previous bike looks so much better ( to me ). If you dig this one, though, the Svartpilen is a blast!

[mrTerminato]

Bought one of these a fortnight ago, very nice feeling. It rides on rough roads without noticing bumps and patches. The acceleration is brisk, and the seating position is comfortable.
One question: how to connect navigation? I never got it.

Picking up new Svart 401 next Monday as my first bike :) Bro, thanks for showing that quad lock phone mount, wasn't sure what to buy and now you made my choice :D Looks great in landscape mode on svart, like some fancy 2 layer car infotainment :D Just ordered handlebar mount pro, anti vibration mount and usb wireless charging mount for my Samsung, 178€ in total with discount. Used your code and also mentioned you in survey after purchase :)

Love the low pipe, more practical for luggage. Would like a tubeless option.

[patricksandeberg]

That is the best value for the tech and features you get!🤙🏾

[ashokyadavindia]

The design of the bike is very simple and sober. Its weight is also less, which makes this bike perfect for adventure rides.

Hi Bob, just had my first service on this bike and loving it. Came from an 800GS and very little difference in performance up to 90mph. The lightness is a revelation as is the handling on twisty B roads. I have also done several forest trails (loose gravel) in the dry and it skipped across that surface as well as my GS. I picked mine up for £4995 and cannot believe what a bargain it is. I rode the triumph 400x the same day but this was better in every area and was £600 cheaper!

[Kranberry]

Eventhough I feel like the Svart and Vit don't look as good as the previous, but I'm obsessed.

[tag]

Can't wait for the comparison video.

[ragerider]

Nice vid. Prefer the Vitpilen personally but both are pretty cool, fun bikes for a reasonable price. I think the Vitpilen would also look great with a retro headlight racer fairing.

[yesJLY]

Great preview, as usual. Very much looking forward to your full comparison and assessment with the Speed 400 (my 2 main current options)

[stevendegoodmojosmet]

I like how you say ' Di'iisc' :) great bike Bob, greatings from Belgium.

[manuelabreu]

I like it at it is, and yes, different, more road oriented tires will be better. But I am already considering as my next light bike. Surely very good for the twisties

[georgekrpan]

Put some Slime in the tubes or get a tubeless conversion kit. To me this is the best bike and the best value in the segment, best looking too.

[HowToGetMoreMetal]

It will definitely go almost anywhere. I have taken one to the top of the rockys on some tough trails. Gota go slow but it will go.
