I love Huskies. They take KTM's amazing bikes and make them not hideous. Husky's styling is so good looking. I just wish they had some 1301 Svartpilens and Nordens on offer.
Yammie, you are at least 75% of the reason I picked up my 401. I swear you must be responsible for the the soul reason it took my 3 months of looking to find one in stock and purchase sight unseen. I appreciate you for introducing me to these beautiful things!!!!
I started watching Yammie around 3 years ago and finally i am old enough to drive middle class bikes (up to 35kw), I can't wait until i get my license and get to be able to (legally) drive a bike. I am so excited, your videos definitely pulled me trough those years of waiting
@@kruiseorbruise No issues at all, Just maintained it as per the scheduled service intervals, with the regular oil changes etc, The only things that I changed were the chain sprockets at 18k Kilometres interval and the tyres at 22k Kilometres.
Vitpilen 701 owner here....i missed the exhaust note of my old bikes so i went motorcycle shopping recently. Sorry but nothing beats my 701 vit in terms of specs, for the price. - fully adjustable suspension - hydraulic clutch - quickshifter and autoblipper - flickable like a bicycle - 0-60mph in 3.2secs (stock) Every time i stop for gas, strangers come and ask about it. Never happened with my ducati monster 1100 evo with custom paint job and clear clutch cover or with my (cad) 8,000$ worth of mods fz-09..so yea can't beat the specs nor the fun for the price, i have zero regrets and i'm keeping it.
got my vitpilen 401 about a month ago and i couldnt be happier. its light, its nimble and i just cannot stop looking at it. rides like a dream. im in love.
I have a Husqvarna Nuda 900r and it is an amazing bike. I really hope they revive it and make a new one because it's definitely one of the best looking bikes ever made. Maybe revive it with a KTM 890 motor or something 😍
Yammie you're right about expecting a check from husky bc you're the reason i bought svartpilen 401 😂 I believe many ppl bought bc of you and I thank you! I've been riding for almost 15 years and this is the most fun and good looking bike I've ever had. Aggressive enough to entertain, talented enough to go off road, can cruise on highway with luggage and passenger. I mean it's just great. I have never ridden off road before I bought this bike and the first time I jumped on it to make off road I was so comfortable I even started doing slides jumps in 10 mins. overall I love the brand and my next bike will be a vitpilen 901 when they make one.
The main benefit of most of Husqvarna's (with a Swedish pronunciation) lineup for mass scale city bikes, is that they simply offer the most desirable package for the money within international license restrictions (35kw / 48hp). KTM with the platform already delivers great performance for the segment, and Husqvarna matches a style and material selection that actually makes the pricetag make sense. Seeing them finally move into the higher end segment with the KTM 890 platform is great.
I’d honestly love to see like a husqvarna named bike or rocket. Something like the Ktm 890 would be sweet. I just want it for the yellow blue and white color combo lol. Idk why but it looks so damn good haha
Just want to thankyou for all your great content. Im due for some major surgery this week and its pushed me to make the decision to finally get a bike. And thanks to you I'll definitely be getting a Huskie 401, beautiful looking machine.
The name Husqvarna is the name of the town in Sweden where the company originated. The name translates to house-mill . (hus-kvarna). The logo has the symbol to the swedish three crowns, since the was a royal arms factory in the beginning
It was the kingdom's armory factory so it has everything to do with the crown, the symbol of the kingdom. The symbol of the crown looks like a gunsight @@Peter-ff1tp
I want a Husqvarna. I think they are beautiful. I am trying to save money for years but every time something comes up and I have to go into my motorcycle pot
for the 701 pilen there was the exhaust from Bad Winners or Competition Werks. And the 901 will never have the same rigidity of chassis or the same lightness / agility
Couldn’t be happier with my Vitpilen 250. Threw a performance air filter, iridium spark plugs and she rides like a dream. Plenty of power with just a flick. Being a cafe racer it’s surely uncomfortable but the fun and the road presence makes up for that 💙💙💙
Not so much with the dirtbike lineup tho since 2023 new gen, although the pricing isn't as different but still no real added value unless you want linkage in an enduro spec (but then just save and get GG)
As an American with a Swedish wife she keeps telling me how to say Husqvarna correctly. She says "There is no 'a' after the 'q'. It's pronounced Hoosk-varna." She took me to the town of Huskvarna, Sweden where they have an awesome museum! Great brand with a long and storied history which your video does a very good job of telling. Congrats! 😁
Unfortunately, I had to deal with a lemon Svartpilen 401. A nightmare to deal with. I tapped out after a year spent at the dealer instead of using the actual bike. A shame because my old Husky chainsaw bought in the 80s by my Grandpa will just not die.
As a lifetime Husky owner, I'd like to say this video was really well made. I really enjoyed the back story to the company. All the facts were really well presented. I'm looking forward to the Vit 901, i thought my 2020 701 was the last.
The Svartpilen made it to my last 2 on the list of my beginner bikes. I decided on the Triumph Trident 660 because I fancied that engine and its noise. My dream starter bike would have had the looks of the Svart with the engine of the Triumph.
the svartpilen engine is infinitely more fun, and with a real exhaust line the sound is addictive. (the 3 cylinder too, but the basic chassis of the trident doesn't make me want to, I prefer the street 660 that one of my friends has)
The Svartpilen 401 is a great looking beginner bike! I was so excited to go buy one but realized it is NOT for tall riders lol The bump on the tank gets in the way of my legs and wasn’t comfortable to ride. Looked cool though!
Yea to me as 190 it's not just fitting on the bike, it's also that the bike just feels physically small. The 890 Svart / Vitpilen that are being tested rn look to be very promising alternatives though!
Huskies and KTM have major stake of Bajaj so these three companies share almost same components like Bajaj 's Dominar 250 and 400 ,KTM Duke 250 and 390 and Huskies both bikes have exact same engine ,and various other parts
I am about to buy the Norden 901 Expedition, what a great bike to ride and look at, its low weight makes it handle really well. thanks for the video yammienoob Nice as always
ktm always made bicycles but the motorcycle and bike devisions split into two different company in the 90s when ktm was bankrupt. ktm bicycles is not going anywhere.
Riden r1s fireblades gsxr1000s and have an mt10sp at the mo.but my 401 svartpilen makes me smile more than all of them. Im 48 but when im on that im back on a bmx in the early 80s and the road is my track.
Husqvarna has been a long time favorite of mine along with KTM., (obviously KTM because that's what I ride in both quad and supermoto). Their dual sport bikes have been so tempting my wallet is smoking.
Fantastic learner bikes ... I bought a Vitpilen when returning to riding after several decades. So light & easy to handle ... and a lot better looking than their KTM cousins. Might buy a Svartpilen to go with my Triumph Thruxton R for some low-risk skill upgrading plus the occasional dirt track adventure.
Failed to mention the Vitpilen 901 which will use the ktm 890 and the rumoured Nuda 901. The nuda 900 was a beautiful bike still kicking myself for not buying one when I had the chance. ( parts are impossible to find)
given the quality of the engine/chassis. I would say quite the opposite. that he does the best so that nothing has changed on it except the exhaust line and the map (for affordable prices, there is the second-hand market)
What has been keeping me from buying a husky is their QC. They look great and the spec sheet is impressive but they still have a good amount of issues which has consistently put me off from buying one
It's just the typical KTM issues. The 701 is rock solid with the 690 engine. If anything is going to hold you back it's the total lack of local dealers if you do have any issues.
my 690 has 66000 km and no mechanical problems... until some electrical problems. But at the "time" (Adventure 1190 electronics) the relatively independent sound system, I can unplug the meter or even see the throttle body that it will still start.
You're prounincing the "u" too quickly. They way you say it we would spell Hussqvarna. But only one "s" so make the "u" longer. The "q" is indeed a k-sound like you say it. But then you go up on the "v" when you should go down instead. Haha, nice video!
@@nickmcalpin10 hmmm. Im from Sweden and "Hu" in Husqvarna is not prounanced like "who" in english. But I also see what your saying, not completely off.
You have a responsibility to us, squids, who bought a Husqy because of your videos about it. Please make a video with regards to modding, accessories and/or maintenance of Svartpilen and Vitpilen. Please! I can't find a good video on youtube about these stuffs. Hoping you consider it. TIA
I have the Svartpilen 701. Its buzzy with that big single cylinder. Not a bike I would take on any long trips. I've rode it 37 miles to a mountain I like to hike and by the time I got there my hands were tingling and going numb. It's an absolute blast to ride short distances though.
Get bar risers. I have the enduro R so maybe the cushy suspension cushioned the vibration, but i rode 5 hours in a single go without getting tired or going numb. At 80+ pretty much the whole way
@@FilthyGoyim It's not too bad through the seat but the bars at higher rev ranges are buzzy and the mirrors are useless. I'll probably end up getting different grips and possibly some bar risers if needed
I can recommend trigger guards with silentbloc. but I think you exaggerated 😅 the 2017 701s are true Goldwings among single cylinders and most twins (I did a 1300km roadtrip in 3 days with my last year, there is the video on the channel if you want to see... how I rode 😆)
Be careful and spend a LOT of time going over the basics over and over again in an empty parking lot/wherever you can practice. The 660 isnt crazy but its no joke either.
They say its a decent and well specced bike with a good electronic safety net but no one here knows you to be able to advise you well. You could be a natural on 2 wheels, someone who should never swing their foot over... or anywhere in between Always depends on the individual and their previous experience etc. My 1st road bike is a MT09 which would be too much for a lot of people but having experience on smaller trail bikes and MX's I was already well versed with the basics on how to ride. Probably better going for a few lessons and hearing your instructors feedback and opinions on what kind of bike would suit your ability level as opposed to reccomending something too much for you which could put you in hospital or end you. Good luck on your journey. 😀
I got my husky sv401 after your watching your video granted i got the 2024model (in india only vitpilen 250 and svartpilen 401 is sold so) ..but hey I've been hearing rumours about a new bigger bike...man love them nimble machines
Husqvarna is quasi proof that an item is not the sum of it's parts... much like lego it's how you put them together that makes something good or bad... I am interested in the 390 as a first bike but I think I might stick with a Honda.
And that's because they ....KTM and huskys are part of bajaj and they shared between all three of the the components that is a real powerhouse for bike development but also they usually share their issues like making milkshake but that's common in the low end bajaj, KTM and huskys. That order
Ha ha ha, those names, those names! After you made it through those names with some breath in your lungs I have accepted your pronunciation of Hus****na good job by the way👍👍👍👍
I love Huskies. They take KTM's amazing bikes and make them not hideous. Husky's styling is so good looking. I just wish they had some 1301 Svartpilens and Nordens on offer.
Svart 901 coming at least, but won't be surprised if a husky super duke happens eventually
KTMs look handsome
@BIGBigBoiNICKI think the orange and very sharp angled fairings make them look like toy hot wheels bikes.
1301 Svartpilen would be like a XSR1000. Another bike that should exist imo.
@@Chevsilverado and a lot of people like that - I understand that swag, but I prefer more neutral tones of Husqvarna! each to his own!

same here, i just got myself one two days ago. now all i need is to practice how not to end up hitting trees. :D

It's a shame they stopped making them. The 401 is a bit limited, but the 701 is perfect imo. Better in looks, speed and size.
Another vit 701 owner, love it for all of these same reason
I bought a brand new 23 Svartpilen this past Saturday because of your videos. It's my first bike and I love it!
got my vitpilen 401 about a month ago and i couldnt be happier. its light, its nimble and i just cannot stop looking at it. rides like a dream. im in love.
Good job explaining the history of Husqvarna. Bra genomgång av Husqvarna`s historia 👍
Håller med.
Inte ofta man hittar svennar här i kommentarerna

I just got a 2023 Vitpilen 401 today. The features and price are unbeatable.
I bought the Vit last year and had the dealer swap the Svart bars on for me. I moved to Europe and brought it with me. Awesome riding!
Love Huskys! They have always been a brand that have had a unique look, style and quality.
I have a highly modified Husqvarna Svartpilen 701, and I’m lovin’ it
You single-handedly inspired me to hunt down and purchase a Svartpilen 401 as a first bike and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks DaddyNoob
I want a Husqvarna. I think they are beautiful. I am trying to save money for years but every time something comes up and I have to go into my motorcycle pot
The fact the company has been around some way or another, since the 1600s is absolutely beautiful!
Sold me on Svartpilen 100% - and thanks for that
I can't wait for the Vit/Svartpilen 901. The Vit/Svartpilen 701 were so beautiful (despite my dislike of the exhaust note)
for the 701 pilen there was the exhaust from Bad Winners or Competition Werks.
And the 901 will never have the same rigidity of chassis or the same lightness / agility

I can officially say that the 701 supermoto is the new bike of my dreams.
The Svartpilen 401 is a great looking beginner bike! I was so excited to go buy one but realized it is NOT for tall riders lol

The U is (almost) pronounced as in “clues” in Swedish for those wondering.

*CORRECTION* The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 🏍️ in North America comes with the same Spoked Wheels as The Svartpilen 😮. NOT CAST WHEELS like in India.
Yup, there is a Gas Gas bike on he GP grid, I would love to see a Husky as well but in the black/grey/silver shades of the Svart/Vitpilin . . .
Still waiting on that great looking E-Pilen.
months too, to ride in style in Switzerland without the risk of suffering the death penalty, that would be good 😅
(I have a 690 stage 2 full tube)
waiting for the Arrow 901 and the E Arrow ( electric bike from them) now in 2023

The Bajaj which owns majority in ktm n husqui have always been doing this swaping ktm engines and pretty much focusing on KTM alone
You're prounincing the "u" too quickly. They way you say it we would spell Hussqvarna. But only one "s" so make the "u" longer.
The "q" is indeed a k-sound like you say it. But then you go up on the "v" when you should go down instead.

(I did a 1300km roadtrip in 3 days with my last year, there is the video on the channel if you want to see... how I rode 😆)
LOVE my 2020 svart 401
Like, even if it is just a style difference, that alone makes me prefer it to the garish, flashy colors on KTM bikes.
I love the svart! 😅 my friend has the 650 and I'll ride it any time he let's me 😂
Would be cool to see a 701 review
whats everyone thoughts on a 30yr old first time rider getting a tuono 660 for his first bike?
Be careful and spend a LOT of time going over the basics over and over again in an empty parking lot/wherever you can practice. The 660 isnt crazy but its no joke either.
They say its a decent and well specced bike with a good electronic safety net but no one here knows you to be able to advise you well. You could be a natural on 2 wheels, someone who should never swing their foot over... or anywhere in between
Always depends on the individual and their previous experience etc.
My 1st road bike is a MT09 which would be too much for a lot of people but having experience on smaller trail bikes and MX's I was already well versed with the basics on how to ride.
Probably better going for a few lessons and hearing your instructors feedback and opinions on what kind of bike would suit your ability level as opposed to reccomending something too much for you which could put you in hospital or end you.
Good luck on your journey. 😀
You'll love it
I got my husky sv401 after your watching your video granted i got the 2024model (in india only vitpilen 250 and svartpilen 401 is sold so)
..but hey I've been hearing rumours about a new bigger bike...man love them nimble machines
I love my Vitpilen!
Husqvarna is quasi proof that an item is not the sum of it's parts... much like lego it's how you put them together that makes something good or bad... I am interested in the 390 as a first bike but I think I might stick with a Honda.
caught that "executive" dig.
And that's because they ....KTM and huskys are part of bajaj and they shared between all three of the the components that is a real powerhouse for bike development but also they usually share their issues like making milkshake but that's common in the low end bajaj, KTM and huskys. That order
Good job and good video 👍
Husky the og Ktm trying to be on their level
Really cool desing
Ha ha ha, those names, those names! After you made it through those names with some breath in your lungs I have accepted your pronunciation of Hus****na good job by the way👍👍👍👍
FFS!!! Huuus-kvarna, man! ..not that hard.. Love the channel...and the Swedes...❤
