There is a lot of black soot coming out around the connection between the muffler and link pipe. Is this normal? There is no internal seal, right? Just slip fitment?

No turbo. MKI GLI with an ABA swap. It is like a 4 door Miata as far as power and handling.

My bike hobby is secondary to my car hobby. I would like to get a R NineT in a few years. I'm out of room for cars but I can fit more bikes.

I think the only way to properly review these is to drop the bike and see if they offer any protection or if you are better off with TRex bars if you want to be sure your bike will be safe after a drop.

It is sad how Facebook was the death of forums. That plus the Photobucket purge made a lot of knowledge and resources on the internet disappear.

I enjoy how the owners manual outlines every cleaning product that Motorex paid them to list.. err.. I mean that is recommended.

The dealers had more 401s in stock than 701s. It seemed each dealer had at least 6 of each 401s to sell each year.

Wow. Thay is way more than I expected as there are like 75 dealers in the country and it seemed they only got 3-6 of each 701

Yes, still available.

I asked one question, will I look this goofy on a 701 and that has not been the question that has been argued. I didn't ask "how can I look smaller on my 401?" Or "what do you think of my riding gear?" I don't get why I post on a forum when people lack reading comprehension. Smh

I'm sure there is a reasonable middle ground between a 401 and a Goldwing Cafe Racer

Yeah, getting an open face helmet for the look will certainly make me shorter. It will probably increase the chance of decapitation in an accident, should shave a good 10-12 inches off me. I didn't realize liking and owning a cafe style bike was a lifestyle choice that required me to have more...

This is the first time I have seen what I look like on the bike, so I was just kind of shocked by the camera footage. I should try seeing myself from a more flattering angle.

Eh, I don't need to cosplay to ride my motorcycle. 2 piece black riding suit with CE2 armor gives me good protection and isn't some outlandish power rangers looking gear like a lot of it. No logos, no weird designs, just a black vented leather jacket and black 750D textile pants. I think it is a...

If I didn't care how it looked I would have saved money and bought a 390 Duke.

When I was shopping for my first motorcycle I looked at the 401s, Triumph Street Cup / Street Twin, Moto Guzzi V7, and Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. After sitting on all of them, the Vitpilen 401 felt the best. It never felt small as I can't even flat foot it at 6' tall. Ergos feel good...

How many people never use the clutch to upshift on bikes that don't have the quickshifter? It is so easy with this trans. The only think I don't like is the transmission doesnt give much positive engagement so I'm sometimes not sure if I grabbed the gear.

Still available

Anyone have an idea of how many Vit/Svart 401s and 701 that Husqvarna produces? Just based off how many bikes I have seen at dealers and how many dealers are in the USA, these are my guesses of bikes in the USA: Vitpilen 701: ~200 Svartpilen 701: ~150 Vitpilen 401 (Austrian built): ~500...

Met up with some friends for coffee last weekend
