I pulled the trigger on the Lite.

Medium mountains where I live too, in the vicinity of Malibu, Southern California. It's cycling and motorcycling paradise.

Muchas gracias!

Going to pull the trigger, which one do you think I should get? The cost difference isn't much.

Congratulations on your new '24 Svart!

I wonder why paddle shaped grips like they have for bicycles aren't offered for motorcycles. Also, I know there are some lock on grips for motorcycles but you'd think they'd all be lock on, so much easier.

Bravo! I'm in SoCal too, 10 minutes from the Rock Store in Malibu. That's why I favor small, light bikes.

I had aftermarket levers on my previous bike because the stock levers were not adjustable and were fugly. The stock levers were extruded, not CNC'd like the aftermarket levers. When I got my '22 Vit I noticed right away that I liked the feel of it's extruded levers better than CNC'd levers. I...

Yes, for sure, we have curves here. I feel blessed to live here. And then there's the weather. I wanted one too back in 2018 and I went down to see one. Unfortunately the price was $6399 plus $1500 freight from Austria. I bought a 2019 Honda CB300R instead. They'd just reached the dealers...

The rents are ridiculously high in SoCal. You paid $3400 less than I paid out the door for my '22 Vit. What do you think of the Vit so far?

I checked CycleTrader this morning. The closest dealer, 18 miles away, lists new '23 Vits for $4788. Another, 40 miles away, lists them for $3999. And another, 60 miles away, $3899. The closest dealer with Svarts, 121 miles away, lists them at $4999.

Congratulations! I have a 2022 Vit 401. I paid $7600 out the door in Oct. 2022. No matter, I love it.

E3500 a pop, wow, a spectacular deal. Not the latest and greatest but still a great bike. I saw 801s for $10.900 and 2024 401s for $5900 on CycleTrader here in the US. Brand new 2023 401s are super cheap.

What are you waiting for?

I recently jacked up the preload on my shock to 10. It definitely changed the handling, for the better. It steepened the front end geometry. If I want more I can slide the triple clamps down the fork legs. I do some mountain biking, but I'm mostly a roadie. I just got an Intense 951 XC MTB...

Here ya' go, the video that I watched. You be the judge.

I saw a comparison of the 801 and 790. It said the 790 had steeper geometry and was more nimble and the 801 was more stable but still handles well. If handling were the only consideration I might choose the 790, it's way cheaper, but it's looks can't compare.

The new exhaust sounds great, better than stock. Hope it's not too loud.

"Going from the 401 to the 801 is like trading in a moped for a motorcycle 😆" Ouch! I still love my 401. Do you notice the weight?

So funny that you should bump into another 801. I once had a rare bike. Not long after I got it, I came up behind another one. The funny thing was that I never saw another one the entire time that I owned it. It was an Aprilia Scarabeo 500. Incredible looking but terrible to ride. I got...
