@@Michelsen3K I am even happier, it gives a lot of security when laying down the motorcycle even with 110-150 tires. good decision to my consideration. I like the exhaust of the 2018 model better, also the previous models have better quality in certain things.
@@djcanin1 thanks for your reply david. meanwhile i bought one! and i love it! it's a beautiful motorcycle. i am sure i'll have some fun when winter is over :)
@@Schaaf I ride dirtbikes on my freetime but I also want to start riding motorcycles daily to and from work. Do you think Vitpilen 401 is a good starter bike?
@@Freddan9700 yes absolutely. But make sure to try something with similar power but with a different seating position too. The Vitpilen has you leaned forwards a lot. Since you're comign from dirtbikes you maybe feel more at home with upright bikes. Like a Z400 or CB300R
@@Schaaf Yeah I just think other similar bikes sound very boring av bad. Vitpilen in my opinion sounds badass and thats why i like it so much, its a great sounding "small" bike. I ride a KTM 250f which has 44hp so there´s pretty much no difference in power so im not worried about that. And also i think that Vitpilen looks stunningly amazing.
Geniale Straßenführung, bis auf den Belag. Wir haben hier im Odenwald und Spessart auch nette Strecken. Kann es kaum abwarten, bis es mal wieder etwas besseres Wetter gibt.
I don't know if it's new, but I really like the Google-Maps link in the description to get a better picture of the environment you're riding in. Thanks!
I've owned one for a year now, it's a really divisive bike, some love it, others hate it, but it's really a little bomb on the road, light and really nimble. I will admit that the sound is really unflattering it's true But given the circumstances, expensive fuel, frequent speed checks, a larger cylinder bike becomes difficult to envisage I'd rather go fast with a small bike than slow with a big one I would like to try a 701 one day to see if the power difference is worth the investment! As always great driving and fantastic landscapes
Compared to the little Honda ... The displacement is similar. But the pc26 engine still has noticeably more willpower in it. Even in its late twenties. The suspension and quality may be great, but I still dont get the idea of putting a single into a decent road bike. It’s not the power. Not the wide powerband. Not the sound. Not the comfort. Not the economy. Then what the hell is it? (Having never ridden one) Maybe I’m just a little too down-to-earth ... I’m not the one for abstract arts.
well, the CB500 has more than a 100ccs more. Which is a lot in the "small" class. Plus the Vitpilen does great when ridden hard, as long as the road is not completely fucked up. But yes indeed, other than that, the main reason to buy it is looks
Hi Schaaf! Your videos are awesome!! Congratulations for what you've achieved! I've seen you tried both, the Vitpilen 401 and the Yamaha XSR700. Any recommendations in which one to take? I would like to buy one of those and I have trouble to decide! Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Agustin
Hey mate very awesome video thankyou. I've been on the fence on which learner bike I should buy it's a showdown between a duke 390 and a 401 but I think I'll lean towards the 401 after this. Curious what camera and mounting set up are you using? Sorry if it's been asked
Schön ist sie ja die Vitpilen bzw. liegt Schönheit im Auge des Betrachters. Ich könnte sie mir aber maximal als Stadtbike bzw. für wirklich kurze Strecken vorstellen, ohne das ich sie jetzt gefahren bin. Danke fürs zeigen. Ride safe.
Ich habe die Svartpilen und muss sagen die größte Stärke der 401er Huskys sind Kurvenreiche Landstraßen, ab 120 wird es dann schon relativ zäh und als Stadtbike eher weil sie ein echter Hingucker ist ;) Finde das Getriebe/Motor sind um im Stadtverkehr mitzuschwimmen nicht optimal, vor allem muss der Motor richtig warm sein damit er sich gut anfühlt und gut klingt. Ich bin dennoch sehr zufrieden obwohl ich hauptsächlich in der Stadt fahre :)
Ich spiel ja jetzt schon länger mit dem Gedanken mir eine im Sommer für den daily cummute zur arbeit und ab und zu nen kleinen ausflug am wochenende zu holen ... designtechnisch find ich sie wirklich bombe, auch hab ich erst den A2 schein ... was mich noch abhält ist der preis, den ich eigentlich recht happig finde Aber wie immer sehr nettes video mister schaaf ^^
Nice ride. No modification on the bike ? Brand new equipment ?

Yay for the design, Nay for the price! I know, I know, one should not have the blunt ignorance to blindly say "Nay" to _any_ bike, but still, I can't get my mind off of the fact that it is a very well designed yet --in the end-- an Indian made Duke. It all boils down to the preference of how much one would like to pay extra for a good design and a couple of tuning here and there.. And, I _myself_ have a Duke 390, so, go figure that.
big fan of your videos and respect to you Schaaf from Georgia! How do you record video sound? I saw video recorder link in description but i wonder where do you mount it. It’s amazing almost in every test ride👍
Silky smooth mate. You look proper quick, but relaxed at the same time. I like Husqy's direction; if it gets more people riding, I'm all in. How is it over distance?
Predlitz - Turrach? Habs direkt am Tunnel erkannt :) Ich wohne nicht weit weg und spiele mit dem Gedanken den Motorradführerschein zu machen und mir anschließend eine Vitpilen zu kaufen :)
Riding position is way different ( seat and handlebar)... The tires are also very different. Although the engine and chassis are the same, the vitpilen is almost a cafe racer and the svartpilen is almost a scrambler...
ich finde die Kleine ja noch recht toll :D Und der Sound für ne 390er ist ja auch voll in Ordnung! Nicht, dass das ein Kaufargument wäre aber rein aus Interesse: Säuft die viel bei dem Fahrstil? Grüsse und wiedermal geiles Video!
Real talk: Why would anyone get this over the ninja400 or Z400 as an A2 bike? The KTM 390 engine also has a long history of nasty failures, which I doubt have all been dealt with. The kawasaki 400 range seems to have everything improved over the KTM390 range, power, reliability, suspension, brakes, price(?), comfort, touring capability, maintenance intervals.
@@LigerZero1985 I think your comment didn't make too much sense because obviously bikes with ~700cc and lots more horses would do this stretch of road in a different (more relaxed) manner. Of course a 400cc engine only making 44bhp has to work hard here.

Apart from the rough surface actually really enjoyed the wide winding road and scenery!
good!
Thanks for the video, I recently bought a 401 Vitpilen, for me it's amazing. I love all of you works. keep uploading your videos.
Glad you like them!

Wenn ich mir das Video so anschaue bekomme ich gleich wieder so Lust auf Sommer und meine kleine Vit 🙂
Bald! ;)
Thanks for sharing, have you ridden the Duke 390? Very interested to see a ride review of that one, by you..
nope
I ride 390 17 ver.

it's always there ;)
Did you replace the speedometer with your coffee mug?
ahahahaha nice one
Complete adrenaline rush

It’s a big YAY from me! Awesome video to both watch and listen! 👍😎
Thanks

@kopasznyaku - I think singles are fun because you can wring them out without braking land speed records and they're light, torquey and cheap.

I would like to buy one of those and I have trouble to decide! Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Agustin
Nope, no recommendation. I don't even know what your plans are. How can I make a recommendation? Bad modern motorcycles don't exist.

The duke 390 and 401 have the same engine so it’s very much down to your preferred styling and rider comfort.
These road surfaces make Louisiana seem like paradise

yes, rev matching
Can't seem to find where u filmed this written any where. Would u mind telling me pls? Tks and keep up the fab work :-)

If u test a bike could u show some clips of the bike itself like a little showcase ? Woulde make ur test vids even better
I do that when I review bikes. RAW videos are no review videos.
Could you do this Kind of Video on a Harley? Would be a nice one with this Quality
It couldnt get round the bends
I would love to. And I'll try my very best to get my ass on a fat Cruiser/Chopper next season. I got love for all the bikes

if you can get me one

wäre mir nicht aufgefallen, hoher Verbrauch
aber schon deutlich weniger als grössere Maschinen? Danke!
Hab ne Duke 690 un die braucht bei gelegentlich ähnlicher Fahrweise auch nur max 4,5l Ich denke die 401er wird eher noch n bisschen weniger brauchen.
geil :) Danke fürs Feedback!
@@justgotafilthyname ja, definitiv weniger als große Maschinen
Sorry for that question i just saw your video about motorcycle sound recording 😀
glad you saw it! Thanks mate!

nope, I rode and reviewed that one for work: th-cam.com/video/K1O29-uNR6c/w-d-xo.html

Definitely not

Hast du mit der 401 schon mal Fußrasten geschliffen?

Schaaf's vids. want to se them all !
enjoy ;)
The ER5 is a better bike than the CB500.

Waiting for husqvarna nuda

sounds like an angry, hard working engine but the speed is relax, chilling speed
