I learned to wheelie on my 2018 svartpilen 401. Since then I had a wr250x, fz07, fj09, triumph scram 900... just bought a 2023 svartpilen 401. 20 years of riding and I just love this bike!
@koolkevbo Nice! How does the Svart compare to the WR250X and FZ07? I've had both of those and loved them for different reasons. About to buy a Svart as it kinda seems like a mix of those two bikes.
@@SamsSleds While I agree with everything you said that depends on where you come from and what the intended use is. I even like that she sounds like a 125ccm (it's not a good sound). The sound, weight, and size all fit perfectly to a 44hp 125ccm bike :D
@SamsSleds I was curious about the price difference between the previous version and the new model [in my country, the previous version which is about 2,000km mileage model(3,600 euro) and the new model(6,200euro) are about half the price], and I asked if the change enough to buy the new model was attractive. Because I'm thinking about buying this bike right now.
@@bayly1977 it’s really not that loud, I go to university every morning and none of my neighbours said anything. Other exhausts are way louder and if you keep the cat it‘s always a normal and good sound.
The 2024 surely is better! (omg bigger gaz tank) But I'll lose a bunch of money that I need to restore my KZ1300 lol. Also I won't buy the same motorcycle twice.. there is so many to try XD
Hola! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾, alguien podria explicar como seria el procedimiento para realizar el check del aceite?? No entiendo como se mide con el motor caliente. Mis motos anteriores se median con motor frio
@@SamsSleds then is the 701 more than one cylinder? I personally love multiple cylinder sound, the reason I have got myself a triple cylinder Trident 660
401 if you plan on changing someday, if you can't thrust yourself for beeing responsible, if your budget is smaller. 701 if you are responsible, if you plan on keeping it, higher budget (even tho used are pretty cheap so..). Beginner bike is a spectrum XD
I became relatively responsible with all these years and mistakes behind😊 Dreaming of FTR1200, but it’s too way powerful to start with. All moto-friends say definitely 701, arguing that 401 will get boring in 2-4 weeks. I have a lot of bicycle/scooter/car with a manual experience😂
My experience is that it’s way more dangerous to have a powerful bike when experienced. Then you have balls to actually use the power, which is dangerous😅
Simple.. I don't pretend I do XD ..I guess you where looking for a review on YT and fall here. But don't worry you'll find! I have great snowmobile video if you feel like exploring new content!

Nice! I feel like it's a "good for everyone" bike. Basic, well rounded, Hard to hate!

It's a small and handsome bike, really fun to ride.
A man and his motorcycle. Simple times!
I would say the 701 is the best motorcycle ever. The 401 is a bit small and underpowered for the highway but still a ton of fun.
The power is not overwelming for sure. Since it's naked I like to go slowish anyway on long trip. Check my range test video XD
Perfect vibe of the video)
P.S. Mighty Car Mods 4reva!
I have loved mine 🙏 but sometimes feel like it could have some more cc. But then again would not be fun on gravel roads with a bigger bike. 😅
Amen! Im out for a 240km no gazpump road right now! Stay tune to find out if I make it 🤣
@@SamsSleds good luck 🤣
Almost perfect.
Almost! Would benefit from a bigger tank, a softer seat and a better sound!

@@lifepolicy so like a small "sleeper" bike? Punch higher than it sound? I do appreciate the small size too. For a 5'8" it feel like we are "one" XD
@@SamsSleds yes kind of a sleeper
Sam what gloves are those ? thank you !!! enjoying your video :)
Icon 1000 Axys. A nice classic look but modern tech! 5000km with them and still new. Can't rly add much info XD
@@SamsSleds thank you very much Sam !! excelent !!
Which one do you choose between 24 new generation and cheaper used and old generations?
Wow that's a good one! I think the 24 have enought upgrade to be worth it.. if you plan on keeping it! I won't buy new unless.

@@김신-l3j The biggest difference is the bigger gaz tank (look my test video) and the screen. 4 or 5 more hp won't realy matter.
really dope raw vid
I can recommend the LeoVince LV 10, makes the bike even better 👍
Thanks! Would love to. But I'm putting all my money in building a Z1300 1982 and my rising morgage!😅
@@SamsSleds that’s also a good way to spend your money👍 here in Europe the LV10 costs like 250€, it’s not that expensive for a good exhaust
Nah I just ditched my lv-10 on it. Too loud
@@bayly1977 Ho rly? I would love a better sound but I love hitting full throttle in town and nobody care.. so stock it will stay I guess XD

C'est où ce mur au bout de la route? Quel route? Merci pour le video.

Trading it in for the 2024?
The 2024 surely is better! (omg bigger gaz tank) But I'll lose a bunch of money that I need to restore my KZ1300 lol. Also I won't buy the same motorcycle twice.. there is so many to try XD
@SamsSleds Yeah, I understand. I have a 22 Vitpilen with handlebars. I would consider a Svartpilen 901 but that's not coming soon as far as I know.
@@thatguyforsure7819 Yeah I'll love the Norden! Maybe next year you'll see the Svart 901 come out..!
Hola! Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾, alguien podria explicar como seria el procedimiento para realizar el check del aceite?? No entiendo como se mide con el motor caliente. Mis motos anteriores se median con motor frio
El aceite debe estar caliente para que se recoja bien en el fondo. Debe estar en el centro de la ventana. ''Traducción de Google'' XD
@@SamsSleds muchas gracias ✌️✌️
This bike was love until i realised my legs are built like doraemon and i cant ride this one😢
Yeah it's kinda tall. But so Light. It help XD
is it single cylinder or multiple?
Single but it rev to 11 000 Rpm. Maybe a little more.
@@SamsSleds then is the 701 more than one cylinder? I personally love multiple cylinder sound, the reason I have got myself a triple cylinder Trident 660
@@Sourabhsudhir007 nope still single. Until they use the 790 or 890 from ktm it will stay single.
@@SamsSleds The new 901 will use the inline twin from the 890.
@@Win7ermu7e buying adventure I would for sure take the Norden. Are you saying the svart and vit will upgrade too??
So in the end guys: 401 or 701 for beginner?

@@SamsSleds thanks!

How can you Review with out making any explanation and comparison
