    401 owner here , something to add. The Apollo tramplr xr's on them eat muddy terrains like a champ , but cornering can't be done as COMFORTABLY as the 390 .
    Clocked 2900kms and haven't regretted a single moment , twist the throttle and it puts a smile on your face everytime , some people mistake it for a slow bike ( Dont ask how I know that ) .

      @@oneinthebillion6724 they are completely different motorcycles , in my experience scrambler gives you that commanding position ( tall seating ) but svartpilen has a slightly committed position and is really accessible to shorter riders . I had much more fun with the svart even during test rides , but your taste may vary . Test drive as much as possible and conclude

      @@oneinthebillion6724 If you're confused between the two, you're not sure what you want. It's a very clear diff between both of the motorbikes. Svart is much sportier, handles much differently. The scrambler gives you a higher stance, but is a much more gentler bike. Svart can be called a gentler duke390, the scrambler is significantly gentler than the svart.

    I purchased the 401 two months ago and have already clocked over 4,000 kilometers. I'm absolutely thrilled with this beast of a bike! One of the main reasons I chose it was because of my height - it's a perfect fit. Additionally, I prefer the 401's sleek design over the more flashy aesthetic of the Duke 390. It's been a great ride so far! I just changed the tyres to W rated road tyres from eurogrip and now it feels like a whole new bike that loves to attack corners.

    Just stumbled upon this video and I love it ! Nice to see someone make actually good points while reviewing these awesome 2 machines. Hooked and Subscribed to the channel !...........I would pick the Svartpilen 401 any day, the pros out weigh the cons for me and hopefully plan to buy it at the end of next year. 🍀

    Great comparison. The hole on the chassis or swingarm is for suspension support but not for foot pegs position change. The hole is only on one side as the rear shock is side mounted.

    I have a bs3 rc 390 for over 8yrs now.
    Was looking for something newer in the category
    Why is ktm not launching a new rc 390 with the lc4 engine? I was looking for a new bike and if that was available I’d have bought it but they lost a customer. Bought a speed 400 and can’t wait to buy more motorcycles from triumph. Already own a trident and also a svartpilen 250 which imo looks so much better than the new 401

    • @shreyass2447
      @shreyass2447 2 місяці тому +2

      If you have control over your need for going quickly, I would suggest the 401. It is quite lightweight and has enough power and character that you will not get bored for a long time on our roads. Expecting you have a bit of riding experience on machines that have at least 10 or more HP. If not, then 250 is the way to go. I myself switched from an aprilia sr 160 to an rs 457, and do not find it any more difficult to ride.

    • @shivakumaran9937
      @shivakumaran9937 2 місяці тому +2

      The 401 is an excellent choice, especially for beginners! It offers impressive performance in lower revs and stunning acceleration. However, be mindful of the throttle, as this bike can quickly reach triple-digit speeds - always ride responsibly!
