The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto; King of the track. This is a Vlog of my track day at Thunderhill raceway west this past weekend. Brought my 701 out to play against some sport bikers and other folks.
I had a great time at the track as usual. Subscribe for more!

Video length 7:01
Excellent
Coincidence? I think not
I came to write the same 😡
A toy hauler. That's what I've been missing in my life.
I think the guy was on the right path with the trailer.
@Rusty Climber I see you can buy waffled/corrugated plastic now. Be a good way to keep the weight off the walls and ceiling
Agree!
Superb! Story, riding, filming, narration, editing, everything... Although the vid was only 7:01 long, it was so well-done and packed with fun, it felt like a 20 minute video, except I got 16:59 of my life back for free! First-time viewer here, but I'm already hooked! Thanks for your diligent and spirited efforts! And yes, you made me want one.
Thank you!
I second this ! Great post. As a novice (4 times this year but more to come!) track day rider - this summarizes the experience. It is your perspective but still captures the essence for all and provides guidance . Great riding too! Smooth!
At 1 of my recent track days a guy was riding his 701, and he had a ball. Was on the short South Circuit at Sydney Motorsport Park, and he was one of the quicker riders and the only part where he was slower than the super sport and super naked bikes was the short straight. Very impressive bike!
I absolutely cannot wait for your race day video! Thank you for providing awesome videos!
Thank you!
I always enjoy your videos, it keeps getting better and better.
Thank you!
You are living the good life, I am jealous. Ain't no tracks here.
Stunning quality video! What a blast to watch!!
Great vid. 34 dislikes are the ones jealous of your having fun. Not only joy of riding, also having fun "camping" there.
Cool vid my friend! Havent been there on a bike but I have driven a Radical there...hella fun!
Cool video man, I was there and saw next time I see you I’m gonna stop by and say hi 🤙🙏🏻✊🏻
Thanks, always welcome to stop by!
Wow. For “A” group some of these dudes were super slow!
It just looks like that couse the track is "empty". If it were more twisty and had more stuff arround the track it would look fast (normaly fast)
It’s common for the squids to jump up into the advanced groups due to a lack of self awareness or loose track rules. Dangerous too.
Welcome to America lmao. Just joking, you can find that kind of stuff all over. Depends on the day sometimes. American amateurs do seem to be significantly sub par though, but maybe it’s just a numbers game. Here in Italy there’s probably a lot more bikers and so you see more skilled people just because of the saturation. I do find it funny when the “fast” group seems to just be for anyone average and above. Some of the lower groups are just abysmal, but I guess everyone starts somewhere.
You gotta grab the upper fork tube like a flat tracker! Great videos,you make riding fun.
Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
Thunderhill West is friggin amazing. Track is as smooth as a pool table. Some track day providers go one direction on the first day then opposite direction on the 2nd day. I'm there every chance I get on my 690 SMC-R & Ninja 400. It's a small bike paradise. Last time I went it was 111° in the shade. Definitely need a hauler with air conditioning! 😎
Great video, and great riding, love seeing the overtakes on the sumo and also interesting to see your setup trackside.
Thank you!
What a great damn video, thanks for sharing man...wish someday i'll be able to do this sort of stuff. (quick question, what are the break/clutch leavers you're using? I'm looking for something similar for my LC4)
15 degrees centigrade... That's a lovely summer's day here in Scotland 😉 Great video 👍🏼
Thanks.
Damn! What a phenomenal video! Loved it!
I love your work
Toy hauler? You're nuts, man! Love your work...✌️
PS: Great vid!
Excellent video, they have gotten better and better
Hello Mike
Thanks a lot for your insightful videos. I noticed that you dropped your 701 for a 450 FS that is more designed for the track. Having ridden both of them could you give us your Pros and Cons from a Track usage standpoint (a video about it would be pretty cool!;))
Thanks
M8 i envy your skill... I also need to change my drz for a 701
Excellent. It’s not all theory on your channel. You’re a serious pilot also 👌🏻
Mike! Were you at thunderhill on July 7th? I think I was across the paddock from you and your hauler drooling over the 701!
👍 it's always fun to see a thumper overtaking 4-cylinders 😁
*Thank you for the video. You mind me asking what pressure you're running on the bigger tracks like this?*
great information for track day goers! keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Sic riding and video mate. I've seen most of the pro riders in Europe drop their arms down like you on straight's, think helps alot with aerodynamics as you sit higher on dirtbike and no windscreen. Keep ripping it up, living the dream. Avagud1 buddy.
Excellent video! As a fellow 701 owner, I find the power train to be awesome on the street, with punchy power and surprising top end. It is more than enough to land it's rider in jail 😆
The dropping the arm thing is popular with mini bike racers as it makes you a little bit more aerodynamic, and with mini bikes every little helps.
Great again ....congrats mate ..good riding !!
It's a hard life you've got there brother 👍
So much power on such a light bike!
Perhaps some of the bigger bikes could get you on the straights, but you’d own them into all of the corners.
I have a Husaberg 570 all set up for motard on and off the track, I have an R6 and R1 track bikes, a S1000RR, and ST Sprint (Triumph for long trips), but I know on all of those bikes, I could pretty much beat my lap times on the 570!
The S1000RR has launch control and quick shift, but by lap two I’d have caught up to myself for sure, and the Beamer is fast AF!
I get a little nervous a times on the track in the Beamer, it’s my daily rider, and it’s a 2017 model, if anything were to happen to it if he devastated, but if I’m running late I’ll jump on the 570 and piss the neighbours off when I leave for work at 5am haha
It’s loud, real loud as you would know.
Great effort and great video bud 👌
My hero!
Nice video! Makes me want to track my 701. Do you plan on racing that with AFM & if so what class?
Great content! Liked & Subbed. Love those 701’s!
Thanks!
Hi Mike. Great video. What is the small trailer you use with your SUV?
Great video man. I love my 701. Please tell me what hand guards and levers you are using
Damn, im happy i found this channel
I have just got a Yamaha XT660. Used to ride Sport Sixes.. FUN is a understatement!!
btw... 1:17 and i paused and subscribed!! Nice Video!
Wow you are a good rider! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 a lot of skills
Great vid :D
where did u get those handguards?
That supermoto it's beast!!!
what tires you use for track mike ? i bought a husky the other day and it got conti attacks on it , but i hear they get too hot on a track at descent speeds . what you recommend ?
Grym video!! 😃👌
Awesome video man, come down to Laguna Seca. I will ride my 701 with you in the A class down here
nice video brooo i love it! very entertaining
Great bike, great riding- also, love the soundtrack- what is it?
The 701 is awesome🤙
Enjoy the bike life
Cheers
Thanks!
Really good video 🤘
Buen video.....gracias
👏👏👏💪👍✌️
your riding is very smooth and so fast
Great vid, subscribed!
That's funny, I do the same thing with my left arm when riding sm. Always thought I was the only one.
Very very very pleasant to watch.
You always run two different tires?
Great video 🤙
Is that a Pilot Power RS rear tire on your 701? Looks like its been installed backwards
Tolles Video!
Great vid! I really like the Husqis ... Race hard; be well! :)
Thanks!
Good job my friend, having fun is all, I have the 701 and it's a beauty!
Any reliability issues? Maintenance same as a KTM 690 I heard.
Just the rear ABS , I'm using a dongle to turn it off.
1:58 the legendary Dave Moss in blue t-shirt
Hey , can’t decide if I should go for 450fs or 701 , for track … Kind of want bigger motor cc, but unsure
Looks like fun man
The leg dangle evolved.
haha, the arm drop is probably equally useful =D.
Which supermoto bike is more fun on big tracks, Ktm exc 450 or Ktm smc r?
Great video Mike !
Thanks!
Me, myself and I was quicker on my old supermotard modified TT600 than on my y2000 R6 and y2005 R1, but my 2002 R1 beat us all up. A part from leaving me with fractures and stitches. Fantastic bike. Fantastic video and show. Thanks!
I was hoping for some footage from one of the other riders that you passed to come up to you in the pits after asking you..how the heck wtf....?
Nice vid. BTW, 5:25 is that Ninja250/300 riding in A group?
Nice T-hill West Backwards, Always a fun ride. I like to Roll My SMR450 there and My zx10 on east.
Nice one Mike!
Thanks!
how does it feel having the camera on top of your head? is there much pull on it?
Excellent!
Thanks!
Great riding!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
What a view ..
I’m the “one do it all” guy, I currently own an 2015 FZ07 and I was playing to get a supermoto as a second bike..... after watching this awesome video my question is: the 701 is a good all around bike compare to my FZ07? I just wanna keep just one bike(weird)
Look really fun 😊
It was!
Nice Video 😍✌🏻
What tire pressure do you run in the am and pm?
Really enjoyed the video and fantastic editing. One thing: If I was on track and I saw someone in front of me drop a hand like you were, my instinct would be that they were trying to indicate something like an issue on track...or some other reason I should slow down. At the very least it would confuse me. I could be in the minority on that but just my observation. In any case, subscribed!
Great video, felt like I was watching a documentary or something
Thank you!
Was your 701 originally the Enduro model that you converted to a SM?
Just one tip to improve: From the GoPro mount, it doesnt seem like he is looking very deep down the curves. If you look more towards the exit, you can have a more confident, higher lean angle, and therefore go faster
Hi man, great video. I wanted to ask you, can you really compete with sport bikes in corners?
What do you mean? If you can corner faster with a supermoto? In some corners yes, in others no. Sportbikes are optimized for long sweeping corners, while supermotos perform better in tight technical corners.
Video length 7:01 😁👍
Nice video and good luck for the next SM round
Thanks
Great video. Where did u get these attractive background music???
Cool video! Is the engine on your 701 stock and what kind of race tires do you run?
I run Metzeler racetech SMs, K2 front & rear for racing. The engine is stock.
Awesome video
Thanks!
I’ve never seen a toy hauler without a drop down ramp. Would love to learn more about your RV.
what kind of levers did you have on your 701?
you should ride with more experienced riders, otherwise you won't learn anything, here on sport bikes riders were too slow for you, not because they have sport bikes but because don't know how to ride faster
I'm just assuming but isn't a group the fastest riders? I'm a track noob so excuse my ignorance
Yes this was A group. The fastest riders in the session... I was part of the group also.
This day had a lot of smaller bikes "250-400cc", including my r3.
This supermoto was riding pretty well but I definitely didnt see in the video the faster riders. I only did a 1:13 on my r3 compared to a 1:07 on my cbr600rr at this track.
@@josuerios1420 only 6 seconds between the r3 and the rr? That seems great.. is that a good r3 or bad RR ride or normal on a shorter 1minute track?
@@garymanning8920 pretty normal for this shorter technical track I think.
Hoping to get faster and faster on the r3.
At East which is a 3 mile track and has more straights the difference is more like 13 seconds
Hey Mike,
What type of Toy hauler is that? Or is it custom?
you sir sound like you are from scandinavia is that right or is that far off ? :o
I'm from Sweden, so not far off. =)
I'm heading to Thill on my 701 soon, what gearing were you running? I have a 16/42 on my Sumo setup right now, it's a bit tall for really tight street or cart track but I'm thinking good for road course?
You'll never get out of 5th gear at T-hill West track on a 701. I have the same gearing as well on my 690 SMC-R but it's never been an issue or felt like I need to re-gear it. You'll love your quick shifter at West track. I'd keep the 16/42 in case you do East track. You'll easily hit 6th gear and 120+ down the front straight away. Have fun!
Husqvarna is Top bike ! 😃🤛🏼🥳
Where is this track I just got my first supermoto I NEeeeD THIS
