I think that’s because I got it wrong for two years, and this being the internet, everyone told me I was wrong 🤣. Twice. So I finally remembered. Now I just need to work on my Rieju 🤣
I was hoping for an update for the VItpilen/Swartpilen 401 since the Duke390 got updated. But maybe it is better, since I like them this was (like the 2022/23 Duke better to, then the 2024 model) But they could update the dash at least :)
We shall see. I guess Pierer Mobility are trying to balance all things across KTM, GasGas and Husky, so a new 901, probably means a new 890, and a new 401 means a new 390?
With all of the 450 and 500 lightweight ADV bikes coming out of China, this may be the year that KTM regrets scrapping their 490 ADV bike plans. It's as if they shotgunned all around what we really wanted without managing to hit it.
Yup. Though with CFMoto taking a (I think..) 2 stake in KTM, on top of a 10+ year partnership, perhaps the CFMoto 450 twin was too close to the 490 twin so they canned it?
I love the look of the 901 Expedition.
It does look good. Better than an 890 adventure I think.
You're doing a great job 👍!
I appreciate that
I was hoping they'd bring the svart/vit 701's back. Maybe next year.
That would be great. We shall see.
Husqvarna ❤
Yup.
Love their line up
They have a great line up and do feel different to KTM.
701 enduro is my dreambike
They are excellent. If it's your dream, I'm sure you'll get one eventually.
Very nice! Def would love to get on a Norden.
Thanks!
That 701sm...jaw dropping.
Brilliantly executed, that's the difference between Italians and Austrians (KTM 690 sm)design wise .
Yup, despite being similar bikes, they both have their own following for that very reason.
Pronounces Husqvarna correctly too. Very rare. Hoosk-varna.

I think a few were waiting for that. Looks like it might be a while longer.
Me too. I've been counting down the days until EICMA to find out if the Svartpilen 401 has a better color display, etc. 😢
Ditto! However it makes my 2020 Svarty 401 still look new for a Husky lol and I LOVE my bike. 901 Svarty coming!!!
I was actually expecting they would release the 901 and the new 401 this year but they didn't, It would probably be next year, i suppose.

Svartpilen = Black arrow is for some offroad
Thanks.
No E-Pilen: sadness.
Maybe next time.

Someone finally told KTM that orange is horrid. Well done.
🤣
That's how you paint a bike if you really want to sell it, not that awful grey and yellow colour of the standard norden.
Yup, it looks great with that deep blue.
