Added a 2024 to the garage last week. Still in break in but it a total hoot to ride! They upgraded everything, except appearance, I think the older models looked cooler but I think the new models are more capable all-around bikes. It looks like your friend has opened up the bike's potential with mods. Fun stuff!
Owner of the bike, the coober USA sticker is for an aftermarket air box lid that you can ad after putting on the FuelX. That red light is the Rev limiter. From what I've read the Rev limiter is programmed to go off at lower RPMs the first 600 miles of break in period. That fuel X really woke up the bike low end torque wise (seat of the pants Dyno) it's easier to lug the engine at low RPM anyway.
Coober USA does make a performance air box, they also make a performance ECU that was developed with KTM to ensure there is no damage to the engine and does not void warranties, it also cost twice as much as the FuelX.
Huge discount on the 23 for sure. I just got mine with a 5 year warranty, tire and wheel warranty, both of which are $0 deductible for what the original out the door price without that stuff would be on a 24. I’m so excited. I can’t ride until I get insurance on it (agent was closed on Saturday).
It feels lighter and much revier. Little less low in torque but plenty of top end power. I think the bear and Himalayan would do much better on longer rides while this bike would be a great play bike. Loads of fun to ride for sure
The muffler is just a $105 eBay slip on, but I love it. The only other mode on the bike is "supermoto" mode, and all it really does is disable the rear wheel ABS.
These are manufactured in India for Baja motors. $ 5700.00 and supposedly the production has ceased. Looks smooth and 44HP is Big. Wheelie Fuzzy...Wahoo!
In NZ 🇳🇿 national speed limit is only 100kmh so bikes like these are more than adequate & cruise at 120kmh all day. Be a great country explorer bike & bolt a 3L bike fuel tank on it.

I just got my Svartpilen. I could not be happier. It is such a fun little machine!
That bike is a blast to ride. Begs to have its throttle twisted. Wahoo!
I just got the Vitpilen 401 and pick it up on Tuesday. I’m so excited.
Congratulations! You are going to love it...Keep that front wheel under control...lol!

These bikes are an absolute hoot to ride. Spirited for sure. Congratulations! Wahoo!
@ Thanks Fuzzy! I wanted a fun lil bike for everyday, all weather conditions and I think this will fit the bill.
Have a great day!

Bike is a hoot to run. Plenty of power and loads of fun!

Buying mine next week. Can’t wait for spring.
You're going to love it :-)
Whenever anyone asks why I'm still not itching to trade up... I'll refer them to this video ;)
And absolutely fabulous and fun machine. You're lucky if you own one
Sexy bike. I can still see a few 23s available, and of course there are the new 24s.... I don't know which is the smarter buy.
Thinking this one was a left over, big discount over the new with same warranty. Great fun. Wahoo!

How does this compare to the bear 650 and the Himalayan 450?

Too much fun!
Love my svartpilen
Great bike!
Did the city receive a government grant for stop signs? I lost count.
Stop signs optional!
Grew up in this town. Today we have twice the stop signs and half the people...and the only stoplight in the county. Wahoo!
To keep boomers from doing wheelies, they measured the distance it requires to do a wheelie and put a Stop sign in between, brilliant if you ask me :D
Small fuel tank that’s a bummer! What’s the mileage and top cruising speed ?
Didn't ride it long enough to get fuel mileage and the bike was to new to do a top speed run. Loads of fun to ride. Wahoo!
+- 200 km per tank (converted to miles). I got one in 2021; such a fun little machine - I crossed the Peruvian Andes (on/off road with no issues).
I own one and its incredible i can see myself owning it indefinitely
Truly a fun machine! 🙂
Does the wind shield make a difference?
I only rode the bike around town. Not sure how it would work on the faster roads.
Is that 2024 ?
I think the owner said it was last years model. Absolute hoot of a motorcycle. Wahoo!
no. the new model have a tft and better engine 399cc not 373cc..
I has the 701 version of the Svartpilen. Should have kept it. It was everything the 401 is…only more!
Would love to take a spin on that!
The light is telling you that you are going past engine break- in RPM.
You are correct. Owner filled me in on this after the ride. Wahoo!
Someone at my work has one of these. They look like cool bikes. Maybe I should ask him if I can have a ride
Do it!
Did you ever ride a KTM Duke 390 before?
No, would love to ride one. Am told it's similar to the 401. Loads of fun. Wahoo!
These are manufactured in India for Baja motors. $ 5700.00 and supposedly the production has ceased.
Looks smooth and 44HP is Big. Wheelie Fuzzy...Wahoo!
It's a wheelie machine!
Production ceased to make way for the new model
Early models were made in Austria
Exciting bike to ride, but looks wise, not my thing!
You are right, this bike has a...special look? Wahoo!
Nice bike, but ill keep my classic 350....lol
I love my Classic 350. Every time I ride it life gets better. Wahoo!
I like the look & looks heaps better than the Vitpilion.
Only weighs about 160kg don't they & very peppy & a gravel road muncher.
I was a paper boy & had a Raleigh 2speed Torpedo step back the best paperboy bike.

Quadruple WAHOO bike.
Love it!
You are right, It will do 120kph all day
❤❤❤❤❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩💐💐💐
Wahoo 😁
Wahoo 🎉
What a dull landscape.
Wahoo
