I just rode a 401 Svartpilen. They are on offer for £3999 right now
How much are they usually ?

Dies the 701 have the second balancer shaft like the latest 701 SM ?
I’m assuming it will but makes a big difference as much smoother .
Yeah, the (big) Husky singles all had itt ~ Husky seem to be KTM's test bed ie they adopt the new shit, prove it, then KTM adopt it.

The 2016 model 701's didn't have it, 2017 onwards.

Back end looks odd . Sounds great on standard can though .
Ok ok, I know this is the Svartpilen not the Vitpilen !!
It’s fugly
It’s hideous, what’s that ugly black triangular bit of plastic filling the gap under the seat? And it’s not a proper cafe racer either.
Why do you have to compartmentalise every thing ?
I’ve never heard these bikes being called cafe racers .
It’s certainly weird styling but should go like stink as it’s as light as fuck, the 701 is a great motor and it’s even got a quick shifter .
It certainly wouldn’t be your thing if you like the Thruxton.
I wasn’t compartmentalising, someone else called it a cafe racer, it ain’t - if someone called you a girl would you just go along with it?
Have to say I like that. Stands out from the crowd, and based on the review above, it looks to be fun to ride too. Nice to see a few off-kilter looking bikes making it to production - some of the mainstream stuff is going the way of generic saloon cars - bland and anonymous.
