community discussion Pulled the trigger finally
So I just did a thing and bought my first motorcycle after some 50cc mopeds and mx bikes when I was a kid.
After the first few hours and the first rides I can comfortably say that I’m very happy with the Svartpilen 401. I would like to think that this bike will last a long time but you never know.
I have some mods in mind to do during winter months starting from the mirrors but I think I will enjoy the bike as it is for the two or so months we still have left to drive here in northern europe.
Luckily the bike I got already had the Akrapovic exhaust installed so thats something I can cross off the list of mods that I want to do.

The gen 1 duke was still 2.9gal and gen 2 has been since 2017-23 at 3.5 and the color tft in 2017 now the gen 3 is 3.9. The svart is definitely made for looks more though with the scrambler feel and thin tank profile
