This is a 1 year review of my 2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 with 13K miles. Part 1 - General Thoughts - Purchase Price - Maintenance Costs Motorcycle purchased and serviced from here www.townccc.com/
Awesome. A few questions - have you ever taken it off-road (light offroad), how does it hold up? What's the top speed and can it comfortably go 70-80mph?
How many hours you do deliveries each time you're out? I'm looking to purchase a 401 and do some food deliveries but I've been hearing a lot of issues with these.
It depends on if I get good orders. Last year was really good so I did a lot. Sometimes 8 hrs to even 10 hrs at a time. Nowadays it's not that good so only a few hours at a time.
@@genxjya I had about 5 close calls yesterday riding from San Luis Obispo to Eureka California yesterday. I don't know what was up with all the hostile drivers on a Wednesday. The worst one was a tourist in one of those rented RV's actively trying to run vehicles off the road.
@michaelrieser9928 Ninja 650 is heavier and faster but surprisingly much easier to ride. Probably the lower seat height and more stable design. Vanilla but the ninja is definitely not boring to ride. Svart was definitely unique and got lots of compliments especially the way I set it up. There is a nice highway near me where I rode the svart regularly around 85 mph but above that it got a bit scary (maxed out at 101mph). With the ninja going 95 - 105 mph feels so easy like riding a bicycle (max so far 125 mph).
Purchase price - $6000 Tax and Reg - $500 Insurance $400 I sold it to a nice guy yesterday for $3500. When I get the new bike, I'll be riding even more.
4 gallon tank would be awesome 😂. I also get 100 miles to the tank.
Hi! Nice video. Can you tell me about the accessories? Bar end mirrors and the wind shield look real nice. Thanks
What would you like to know? They were purchased from a European website. It's in the description of Part 2.

Never been off road. Changed tires to street style. Up to 90 is easy. Max speed I got was 104.
@@genxjya thanks! sad to see I missed out on the bike, but better luck next time.

I relly like this video.
beautifully shot.
This car in Taiwan costs 10,000 US dollars! Because of the unreasonable tax system.
70% tax......
Tax is 70%??? Wow that's crazy.
13,+++ respectable mileage in a year. 👍
Ya, I was also surprised. Thank God I had a lighter bike cause there were a few close calls.

@pinkiewerewolf I wish I can ride in California someday.
@@genxjya Come out someday. We do have some amazing roads and off-road trails to ride.
is that the OEM flyscreen?
Yes its the oem "smoked" flyscreen. I put a H decal on inside. All the product links are in the description.
How much did the dealer offer you for the trade in?
Only $2500 since it had 14k miles. You are better off selling on Craigslist.
Triumph Speed Triple. Mission Impossible!
Same actor different movie.
Kawasaki GPZ? Top Gun!
@lawrenceong8501 Yes. A Ninja but obviously not a gpz since it's not made anymore.
@@genxjyalet me know how a ninja rides vs this, I hear these are pretty fun, sometimes Japanese bikes can be a little vanilla riding wise.

You're getting a Triump Scrambler?
Hmmm... Try a different direction. Greatest motorcycle movie scene EVER? Same manufacturer and style...
@@genxjya well if it isn't Steve McQueen on T-scrambler in "great escape" then maybe it's the Harley Choppers in "easy rider"?
@sizkovacs2216 I'm slightly too young for those movies. Think 80's...
@@genxjyaI’m thinking Kawasaki Ninja from Top Gun. My dream bike 😂
@@gtoramirez Yes... Wish they still made it...
