Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 Ride Review & Massive Price Drop

Husqvarna's Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 401 offer arguably some of the most exotic options in the beginner, learner or A2 markets, not that that should constrain anyone interested on a full license, but premium pricing has also meant these bikes were probably out of reach for the regular rider.

Now we've seen a massive price drop, with the Svartpilen 401 available here in Australia for $7,495 Ride-Away (previously $11,590) putting these bikes in direct competition with the likes of the MT-03, Z400 and the rest of the category.

My local motorcycle dealer MotoHUB in Castle Hill, Sydney were kind enough to let me take the Svartpilen 401 out for the morning, for a test ride and to see just what was on offer from Husqvarna and I came away highly impressed, with a high level of specification mated to incredible attention to detail and eye catching styling.

Spoked wheels, RbW, shapely bodywork, great brakes, the Svartpilen is an exceptional LAMS machine and it's easy to see why pricing was so premium, but not it's within reach of a much larger group of riders and well worth a look in, especially if you don't want to be on the same machine as everyone else.

MotoHUB in Castle Hill Sydney have the Husqvarna range and lent me the bike, so if you're interested check them out, with the Svartpilen 701 and Vitpiilen 701 both also available at great pricing right now.
