I actually stopped in at the only local Husqvarna dealer near me on Friday (they listed two S401's on their website) but no Svarts or Vits to be found. They said it would be February before they could get one. 
I'm a little surprised these are so hard to find, they only had Husky dirt bikes available (along with the other brands they sell).
There was a used 2020 one about 45mins away so I went to see it in person. They actually had it next to a duke 390 which was nice to see how the seating and rider triangle is different. Very nice upright seating position and so narrow compared to my R Nine t. It really is a sharp looking bike, so much better than it's competition.
The thing is the dealer has it listed for $200 more than a new 2021 model. I'm sure they would come down a little but I've been to this dealer before when I was looking at the R Nine t and I don't think they budge much. Its a HD, Ducati, BMW dealer near DC. I might go and test ride it although I feel a tad bad since there is no way I'm buying a used model for similar money to new. I did get to see the chamber delete in person though since the previous owner had made that mod.
I originally was going to get a Honda Monkey as a second bike as I just wanted something small and light to tool around on and have fun. While I like the look I just couldn't get past the price of $4,200 for 9hp even if it's only 230lbs. So I started looking at the Duke 200 which I have one local to me and could get for under $4,000 and that led me to the Svart and Duke 390. The Svart is cheaper and I love the looks so I've kinda settled on it if I can find one that isn't 50-100 miles away.
