    2025 KTM 390 Supermoto, $5499

    Weighs about the same as the 690 SM and about the same as the 401s. I can't say that I'm not compelled by this bike. The roads here are ideal for it. The price is amazing.

    Motorcycle.com Tests 2024 401s

    I live in the vicinity of Malibu. There are tons of tight, twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica mountains. One of the best is Yerba Buena. It comes down to Pacific Coast Highway, PCH, at the Los Angeles/Ventura county line. The landmark is Neptune's Net a motorcycle hangout. There's...

    Svartpilen 401 2024 mirrors

    I had a the same problem with my Honda CB300R. The vibration dampers inside the bars were impossible to remove and I wanted to use bar end mirrors. So, I merely got new bars! I wanted a lower bar anyway. I'm using the stock mirrors on my Vit with CNCd mirror extenders, hardly noticeable...

    Motorcycle.com Tests 2024 401s

    The local dealer doesn't even have them on the sales floor, although another dealer, not far away, does.

    Motorcycle.com Tests 2024 401s

    Just posted one day ago. These are my local roads in the Santa Monica Mountains. I've yet to see a 2024 here in SoCal, weird!

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    I guess I am a wide person because I couldn't see anything but my shoulders, 6ft 185lbs. I used CNCd extenders with the original mirrors, problem solved. They're hardly noticeable and preserve the look.

    The vid explains that Bajaj and/or Red Bull could step in.

    We could be riding orphan bikes.

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    I kept the goofy round mirrors on my Vitpilen for that very reason. I did get some mirror extenders though, so that I could see something besides my shoulders.

    track bike build log - Vitpilen 401, 2017-2023 R1 shock swap

    You should disconnect the FuelX, ride it, and then reconnect it just so you don't take for granted the difference that it makes.

    track bike build log - Vitpilen 401, 2017-2023 R1 shock swap

    Great work! I have a '22 Vit too, bought new. Get a FuelX! I've managed to make the stock shock more than tolerable with the preload and rebound adjusters.

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    The quick shifter is not perfect but it works. I rarely use it for the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts unless I'm really revving it out where it works better. But, it works great for the rest of the upshifts. At least, on my bike, the downshifts are perfect in all gears. I see it as valuable and usable...

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    Yes, a 401 is a way better value. No suspension adjustment and no quick shifter on the Triumph.

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    I would look ridiculous on the Speed 400. I think the photography of the Triumph is very carefully done to hide it's size.

    I saw a Triumph Speed 400

    I finally saw a Triumph Speed 400 for the first time. It's funny that I hadn't seen one before now. I live in SoCal where you see EVERYTHING. I've yet to see one at the local dealer who is also a Husqvarna dealer. AWFUL! Don't let the YouTube vids fool you. It's DINKY. A 401 dwarfs it. I...
