How do you like that Svartpilen?
The videos i see on them look nice.
They got me looking at the KTM's too.
Im not sure if i wanna just grab the 390 to start fu#king around easy style or go big and grab the 890.
Ima wait and take my time before i get the bike but im looking at sh1t and thinking.
The Ducati Scramblers are dope too but the heat from the air cooled motors is a concern.
My bro just grabbed the top dog electric Zero bike - sh1ts bonkers.
And then he put a deposit down on the 200hp 200mph ev Damon that's supposed to drop next year.

Yeah I was looking at EV bikes when I first started shopping around but the current ranges that you get out of them make them more of a really cool fun toy than anything else. It's just gonna take a while but EV is the future of all motor vehicles imo.
That Damon might be one of the few that actually gives you enough distance to use it as a weekend rider. The rest are mostly urban commuters level.
Really excited for Honda's line to come out because they have the resources to drop some serious hardware when it comes to EV so we'll see.
As for the svartpilen, I love it man, it's such a fun bike and you get comments all the time because it's not something you see every day and has such a great style. The only major different between that and the Duke is the style. I think the dashboard is better on the KTMs, and there might be some differences in the suspension, but all in all the svartpilen and duke are the same bike so its all about the fit and style.
I got the 401, says it tops out at 100 but I've only had enough room to take it to 80 so far lol
Honestly I'd say see if your local KTM dealer is doing test rides and try both out and see which one you like better. Both are going to be fun, obviously the smaller bike is going to be more nimble while the bigger one is going to be more powerful so it's all about what you're looking for.
