I'm getting my Svartpilen this week and I'm so pumped! It will be the first Husqvarna bike in my local area as per the dealership.

Regards from the Philippines!

Good Bike, with special characteristic said Pierer. Of course We know, it's clearly visible on the control screen "ABS Can Failure", that's the character. Oil Leaks, Clutch Leaks, and any leaks problem it's character from KTM's Engine. I hope Yamaha make Vitpilen it maybe have better quality, and more durable like MT series.

Not so sure Bajaj could make the Vitpilen quality any worse, what with the leaking clutch slave diluting the engine oil with clutch fluid, and the leaking plastic fuel tanks with no fix in sight. Austrian quality anyone?

too weak this single-cylinder. it breaks your ears moreover. This bike deserves a 900 or 1000 cc twin.

[denilsoncruz]

Husqvarna you are making it a flop stop wasting this good chassis and engine to vanity and style please for God's sake stop acting like a spoilt rich child . You are not a premium bike the word premium is washed out and lost its value .

Come on Husqvarna bring the bike with dark gold alloys wheel from the duke and also bring the Aero (in black with green accents or black and gold accent color) version with alloy wheels, do not bring spoke tube type wheel to India which is ridiculous ..

Only bring the new rerouted exhaust system, with drive by wire .

The dash board could have been the Duke version with white and black color square display instead of the round version .

If you are going to price a higher rate be informed that the bike is not worth more than the new Duke as the Duke is a lot more well specked out bike ( and no body can spell the name of the bike it's too long and a mouthful) . Please don't call it a premium just because it is a Husqvarna ( Kawasaki has milked out the word premium and no body will buy their bikes as it never was a premium product and nor is the Husqvarna ) .

These are the things your bike falls short off and because of this it will fail badly and instantly like the nuclear power car .

No digital color display from the 2019 Duke (you could use the full square display of the old Duke with different graphics display layout style with Bluetooth and multifunction screen ) .

The Seat length is too short not long enough to carry a passenger, bench seat type is ok needs 3-5 inches more length .

Spoke wheel with tube type tire is a huge let down and dangerous please don't use it please don't force the customer to make the rim into a tubeless type by taping it or other stupid ways and who the hell wants to clean spokes and check tension on each spoke every month .

The bike has a very small 9 liter tank ( the tank is under plastic cover and hidden which is excellent don't change the hidden aspect just make it bigger 17 liter max 320 km range )and even after being small it is only a few kgs lighter than the 13.5 liter Duke. Better range is any day more important than looking cool .

Front and rear springs are progressive springs which is not good as the ride is saggy, slow and soggy ( huge sag of 40+ mm sag front ) and is harsh please put linear springs for front and rear . I do understand putting a 3 way adjustable damper is not possible as the price will shoot up it's ok we can live without it .

Engine is the same output of duke so nobody will even care as Royal ( pain in the ass ) Enfield has made something decent with a desirable engine sound for the first time and so for this bike will fail unless you tune it for 50 hp and 4 kgm of torque .

Needs Cruse control if you have installed drive by wire . If it is cable type even after 2019 update well that's bad and shameful.

The version of bike that you are supposed to sell is a super Duke gt type bike ( 401 GT) with a fixed headlight and good wind protection cowl and adjustable windscreen and long travel suspension with a relaxed riding position a bike that can do it all, the user has to put a duel sport 17 inch front and rear tyre for world tour and light offroading .

The second bike is an Aero version with all the above upgrades linear springs, Cruse control, bigger 13 or 17 liter tank with 320 km 3 hour range plastic tank (no steel tank) for keeping the weight low, dash board display as the old Duke only with white and black lighting and different graphics layout .

Handle bar like the RC 390 with a one and a half inch bar lift higher than the triple tree.

Longer (by 4 inches )bench seat without any step . Longer so that the rider won't get castrated by crushing hos balls as the passenger has to sit very close in the current version. Motorcycle riders are not anorexic we are thicc boi's and thiccc girls please make it longer .

And for God's sake don't sell a fast road bike with spoke tube type rims I don't want to die because of easily avoidable puncture on the road . Don't make this bike a vanity fashion statement bike please don't waste a good product like that .

The price of this bike should not exceed the current Duke 390 it will be an instant flop if it is more expensive in it's current state.

The engine being a single cylinder is not going to make it great as RE 650 gt is out.

The alleged 490 cc parallel twin with a different crank configuration of 315 or 45 degree crank like the Husqvarna nuda 900 is most welcome with 58 bhp and 5.5 kgm torque . Or something even more amazing than the 490 twin is

A hybrid petrol electric engine where the bike is electric drive producing 50 hp 7 .5 kgm torque with no gears, clutch and a sweet fuel range of 50 km/ liter will be the best bike engine ever top speed of 210 kmph would be amazing . No requirement of a new 490 cc or greater engine is needed . If you make this hybrid electric you will Dominate .

But I know Husqvarna you have made this bike a vanity project which is a shame . I have been waiting for 3 years for the aero and no show .And you are going to kill the bike by calling it a premium product when it is clearly not .

Making it minimalist and more difficult to maintain and vanity bike is no grounds for premium price. Whatever you do don't over price it more than the duke no body in India will buy or even if someone does they will regret . Please don't kill your self with dumb ideas as now .
