Been waiting for this comparo. Thank you MotoDeal!!
This is the right review I am looking for, straight to the point ☝️
Another great and fair Comparo, both bikes are awesome.
I liked the criteria of the comparison. Good job, Jinno!
Great information as always, Keep it up!
Thankyou moto for another retro review ❤️❤️
thanks for the comparison review it helped my decision in the near future more power Motodeal
i have to say u are one of the best motorcycle reviewer, if not the best.
hopefully u will grow in the future.
one criticism: I wish u would do more drive-by, without commenting.
let the viewers enjoy the raw sound of the motorcycle.
I have the xsr 155. I almost pick up the svart due to its features and unique look but due to the maintainance cost and the notorious reliability of ktm engines due to its tuning. I did get my current bike
Very comprehensive comparison ! Thanks
more content like these please love it
Perfect content at the perfect time
Svart for an easy win! I always go for "Value for money" with just a little difference in price between these two bikes. I personally own a Svart 200 putting some 3K km in its odometer and haven't encountered any issue(s) yet. One thing i can always be sure of is that the stock Husqvarna Svartpilen 200 always stands out from the pack even if it's surrounded by fully modified yamaha xsr 155s.
hi how are the maintenance and service cost? Is it very high?
Got the Svartpilen 200 as my very first bike just about a month ago. I am not disappointed and I have been riding it just as ECQ started days after I got it, presently I am at 1300kms already. Loving every bit of the bike especially the braking, the throttle responsiveness, the weight, the height (5'10 here that's why I am flat-footed despite the 835mm seat height), definitely the go-to bike for beginners if you're tall that is. :D
The first 1,000kms will have a limiter to 7500rpm and it would feel a little bit underwhelming around 500-999kms so you want to get her odo up to 1000 as fast as you can. Clock in at 1001kms and the limiter automatically goes up at 9500rpm and you will feel as if your bike has broken out of the cage.
- You also want to shift gears as often times as possible during the break-in period. Makes it easier for you to find Neutral.
- Immediately buy a radiator guard. (KTM branches usually have this for Php 1,200/ Php 1,400 (for the svart 401 version. It's compatible with the 200. Covers more area.)
Update review naman po sa bike ninyo Sir, salamat
I own both. And I'd take the Svartpilen any day. Watch my in-depth review comparison in my channel
great review.
Just got my Husky and it's a really beautiful bike, especially in person
I would prefer my dream bike! Rather than the reason of aftersales service parts availability trouble. Thanks for the review!
Great comparo 👍
Couldn't agree more with this review. 👍👍👍💯
I started my motorcycle riding journey with YAMAHA XSR155, it worked pretty well for me , I practiced my skill with it for 4 months before upgraded to bigger CC
Trident is dope bro!
Good choice...
Hey brother, you are doing amazing videos , can you please do a compare video between the Cf moto 800NK vs CF moto 700CLX sport please
Its all good and great but the downside is there are less next to no service centers available for these kind of bikes in the country unlike yamaha and honda. So maybe moto vlogger ought to include this in their next vloggs not just the bikes but the service after sales as well all around the country
If the Husqvarna 200 and XSR 155 were available in India, I would've picked Yamaha XSR 155.
But unfortunately we have FZX in India 😐
yes... stupid yamaha is planning to dump us...
A low range of TVS XL 100
Boycott fzx then Yamaha will understand what people want
@@stampai2305 you have failed. im seeing lots on the street. boycott itseems.
@@hariharanc3306 cuz Indian marketers and customers are dumb af
I've been really inlove with the Svartpilen 200 😍 been saving money for it 🙏😇
I would murder for a 400-500cc Yamaha XSR.
What about 700 cc? At least they have the XSR line in the Philippines. Here in Mexico they are not available.
@@enriquecolin28 700cc isn't that far away from already existing 800cc. Weight would be the main reason and also costs. A scrambler should be low, light and nimble and also should not cost 12k € for an air cooled machine.
@@0Turbox, there is a Yamaha XSR700, that's what i meant.
@@enriquecolin28 yes, there is. But the XSR 155 is really just an XSR by skin. That 155 thumper can be beat by a lot of scooters here in PH. Also expensive for its class. A 400cc XSR would slot in nicely and the 700 then the 900. Just more good options, not that 155 cc crap.
for me maintenance is really the big factor in choosing a bike.
If it's not my first bike or if I have a spare one, I'd go with the Husqy. If it's my first bike though, definitely will go with the reliability of a Yamaha.
thanks
At my age right now, I will always go for comfort. If you're comfortable in riding, safety and reflexes are boosted. Just saying. I'll go for XSR.
Could you also review the xsr 700 / 900 please ?
Maintenance has been highlighted so much on this review. Makes me really paranoid haha! I was so ready to sacrifice maintenance bcoz svart got me into manual motorcycles. And i really want to have one. But people are telling me that it’ll just give headaches…uurrggh! Is it really that bad???
thanks for the english
Is the xsr would be ok for guys with 5'6" - 5'7" height?
I'm xsr fan but I do agree with you
Ill go for svartpilen 200 instead xsr155 specially for the price range difference you got 200cc and high torque vs vva and other advantage features of svartpilen
Yamaha XSR 155 is my first bike
We need these in America. Specially that Yamaha
Two years on from this review, and I am looking at a Svart 200 or a CFMOTO 300CLX. Still not, quite, made up my mind.
For me I prefer the xsr 155, modern classic look man thats gonna be there for I think 50 years or so
Svart! 😍
Can I change my XSR 155 Speedo from Kilometers to MPH? If so how please?
Why no abs at Philippines at xrs?
Pwede po mag ask about sa bigbike?
For power, looks and style Svarrtpilen for me!!!
nahhhh, I'm still on the Husky😍
What is your height ?
I'd take the Husqy any day
No doubt svart wins this comfaro, no hate i also love svart, 2 of them is in my list that time but i prefer retro looking bike despite of lack of safety features and some modern tech , xsr for me and had it for almost a year now and i dont exp any problem at all
XSR 155 🤟
A question about the Husky.
Any heating problem tulad ng mga KTMs?
none. im using 401 variant.
@@TheNisaamL Di siya tulad ng Duke na parang may lilipad na eroplano kung nasa stoplight?
@@kamagoong nope.
@@kamagoong nagwawild.🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
got a 401 and I love it ,but Yamaha is a more reliable bike .
We don't have these in CANADA 😭🇨🇦
If i have the money, husqy for me
Still Yamaha xsr win for me
Sana yamhaa. Standard na ang ABS
XSR 155
But I beg for moreeee😂😂
how about pms
Husky here bro
Service costs - yep, the XSR will win all day long. Bear in mind on performance that Svartpilen is in a much higher level of tune (single cylinder 300cc power from a 200cc bike illustrates it). So, overall ownership of the little Yamaha is going to be cheaper (and from what we hear, more reliable).
Why Yamaha no ABS??... all these smaller bikes are basically aimed at new/newer riders, ABS is a must for new riders grabbing a fistful of brake in a panic, experienced riders not so much, but new riders? It's one thing that will avoid an accident, especially here, where until very recently rider training has been non-existent.
So what do you suggest for beginner riders to get? The Svart or the XSR?
@@amon8977 Honestly its a personal choice., what do you like the look of better and go from there. Yamaha you’re getting a nice bike, great power for a 155 and virtually guaranteed reliability. Svartpilen is more unique, more power but will be more expensive to maintain. If it was me I’d be calling up each dealer and asking what the service intervals and costs are. Then for the Svartpilen also looking at forums about KTM Duke 200 reliability or any issues (same engine). BUT, buying a bike is always going to be a very personal choice 👍🏻
@@JustForFun-zh7cy I see. Thanks for your insight! I was torn between these two. And I always believe that there is no perfect machine so I need to weigh the pros and cons of each.
Maganda specs ng Husqvarna, pero in real life araw-araw riding, Yamaha's proven reliability and parts availability is hard to beat.
Ktm din ang husq
Problem I see is parts availability. Should be a lot easier to get parts for Yamaha. The husky is useless if it breaks and no parts are available.
Im a diehard yamaha fan but the bikes, when brought here, is over priced! A mess, I’d pick husq all day long
The XSR is expensive for what you are getting. Pamporma lang. If Yamaha did an XSR 400 that would have been better. This is a win for the KTM/Husq easy
Helmet comparo naman sunod
XSR is the best
Man, I really regret getting a vespa instead of the svart. If anyone wants to trade theirs for an LX150 hit me up!
Vespas has their charm.
@@enriquecolin28 No doubt about that. I just prefer a manual bike.
xrr 155
Svart for the win...performance and safety...fuel efficient despite having the bigger engine displacement.
Couldve gone more in depth..
Im short for the svart..sayang
I’d choose husky any time of the day
🤣🤣🤣
Comparison like apple vs banana
YAMAHA better 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽❣❣❣❣💋💋💋❤❤❤
Yamaha bit over price
Sir jinno. Akin nalang yang helmet. Salamat
I got 48km/l on my xsr155 though 🙂
I think this is a mismatch, I suggest comparing Yamaha XSR 155 vs Honda CB150R Exmotion
di ba wala naman sa pinas nyan.
with the price of the husky today, XSR wins as the bang for the buck...
sir ano brand yn? kapatid po ng ktm🤪
In India they have a 250 not a 200. Downgraded pinas.
But they don't have the 401
@@ambroski9207 they're releasing it in a year. Doesn't matter. The rest of the world has the 401. The rest of the world also has a 250 engine.
Most countries have the 125 and 200.I think it's more of market share strategy rather than a downgrade
xsr style is like a pair levis and chuck taylor the husq is like a pair of valentino jeans and shaq attack reebok...nuff said.
Can't decide between the two of them, ill just buy both...
That would be the most idiotic thing to do. With that money just buy a 500cc and up
just say it jino…! mahal maintenance ng husky same with KTM… hahahaha
Hahaha! Balita ko nga hintayan pa daw sa spare parts pag may nasira
over prize yamaha, 155cc at 160+k , scam
And a year after your comment, the XSR155 is now P175k without any upgrades from the previous releases. I prefer the XSR’s classic looks but it’s really worth asking what makes it worth that much, when for just P4000 more you can get Suzuki’s Gixxer 250 that has more power from the 95cc difference and double-channel ABS.
I'm actually trying to decide between raider 150 and husky 200 ... I've owned a raider and it's most bang for buck I've seen yet.
Pang tricyle lng yang XSR 155
😂😂😂
I disagree with the fuel consumption.
I have an XSR155 and in the first 100km, I even registered an average of 60km/L. That gradually decreased to 52km/L now with 7000km odometer due to engine idling.
Scientifically, higher cc generally means higher fuel consumption because cc is volume displacement which determines the amount of fuel-air mixture combusted in the cylinder. Common sense nalang pare, saan kukunin ng husq ang more power niya, hocus pocus? It's from burning more fuel. Parehas namang stoichiometric ang combustion niyan kaya nga BS6 ang emission level ng XSR155.
So please, I petition you make another test regarding that. Natrigger ako sa false information at hindi dahil natalo si XSR sa puntong yan haha.
I don't think it's fair to say that they are making false claims.Those numbers are based on their real world test and would always depend on a lot of variables not just total displacement and one variable that would always be constant would be the power to weight ratio of both bikes.The Svartpilen 200 has a PWR of 129.25 vs the XSR155's PWR of 105.97 which is almost a 25% difference.Higher PWR means less power is needed to get the bike moving less power = less throttle = less gasoline which explains why the Svartpilen has better fuel economy.You getting an average of 60km/L on the XSR is quite impressive and I think you'll have better results with the Svartpilen if ever you get the chance to test it.
Get off your high horse and rethink your statement. You are leaving out things like difference in types of fuels injectors, ECU mapping, gearing which can lead to better fuel economy even if the other is of higher cc. Your experience is only one data point and you haven't even tried the Husq yet. May stoichiometric ka pang nalalaman.
How'd you arrive with the PWR? Seems to me that you used maximum power/weight. You don't need maximum power to get the motorbike running. That's a good point of comparison but I'm not convinced. Show me the graph of the power to weight ratio and I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be constant along the ride. I think these people tested the bikes on very different conditions which is a very poor way of conducting comparisons. This is why I'm asking them to redo their test. And yes, I stand by my saying that their achieved fuel economy for XSR155 is misinformation.
@Jay G
Bro, have you ever heard of competition? You're arguing like as if magkaibang magkaiba yung mga transmission mechanism nung dalawang motor.
Yes, there would be differences but do you have concrete evidence na it affects the fuel economy by that much considering that Yamaha is the more prestigious manufacturer?
And don't ever try to shame someone for their knowledge. Stoichiometric combustion, kung di mo alam, i-google mo nalang.
There's a reason why Yamaha themselves would rate the bike at 48.58kmpL and they put their name at stake for their claim. They're a team of engineers with lawyers.
Now, who would you rather believe? Manufacturers o yung mga vloggers?
@@kramking6600 Usual Fanboy attitude.No point arguing with someone as closed minded as you.Maybe do your own test and prove them wrong instead of calling them out for alleged misinformation without any proof.
Yamaha is yamaha haha oo madami points c husq pero reliability? Dun pa lang tapos na kasi usapan !! Aanhin mo more points if mas tatagal c yamaha kesa k husq tama? 😝
Motodeal " is ABS absolutely necessary, no, honestly it's not" your are a joke, if you don't value your life or your family then your are right.
If you value your life and your family, you’ll drive defensively, smartly, carefully, and without going beyond the proper speed limits. I’ve been driving motorcycles for more than 25 years and the only accident I got was getting sideswiped by a taxi from behind. Like Jinno said, which you conveniently omitted, “it’s nice to have” especially if the bike should have it given its expensive price, but not an absolute necessity. If you know traffic rules, road conditions, and speed limits, that is.
