Now that I've owned and sold a 2018 Gen 1 Vitpilen, a 2020 Duke 390NG and a 2020 Gen 2 Svartpilen, I can say with assurance the Austria made ones are clearly a better buy for craftmanship, finish and yes, performance..

Curious as well..

If you haven't noticed then that's your answer.. :)

Arent you losing some back pressre though?

Different engine block? 399cc?

Yep:

Yeah that damn undersling exhaust..

Yeah that's like 10hp, too much of a diff. Maybe the break-in wasnt done properly on that 2nd gen Svart. Went to see that Gen 1 for sale: 😳😎

Had a Colombian rider tell me Husqy put limiters on their 401 in Col. Now that I think about it, the Svart I got (with 5500 km) in Costa Rica was alot less peppy then my 2020 Duke 390 or the 2018 Vitpilen I owned. Anyone heard such a thing as limiters?? Maybe the 2nd gen Pilen's are a bit tamer? 🤔

Which 701..?

Right.. So kinda like NOS (new old stock) 😀 May have found a sweet deal, I like Gen 1 alot more..

Yeah could be, but I used the VIN, not the plate number: https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check-lookup/VBKUNJ40XMA200126?__cf_chl_tk=bfzL6DvornaCAZlPtjMuJak5yd0asuBrRss8uY52nng-1684956123-0-gaNycGzNDLs

So found this beautiful 401 not too far from where I am in Colombia. Here's the strange thing, its selling as a 2021 model (with only 45 km) but clearly has the look and specs of the '18/19 edition. What gives? 🤔 I looked up the VIN online (generic site) and on the Colombia national registry...

Thats so cool..!

Mine had a small gap that let spray come thru and hit my back (Sold it since), yours should be good..

Whats nice here if you effectively have a rain fender with this design..

How does it sound?

Bike is now SOLD.
