    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!

    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.

      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!

    • @Chris-hj3lc
      @Chris-hj3lc 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    • @stickvortex
      @stickvortex ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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! 😎

    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

    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.

  • @Duken4evr29
    @Duken4evr29 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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 😆

  • @DJRipGroove99
    @DJRipGroove99 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @patrickswayze2596
    @patrickswayze2596 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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 👌

    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!

  • @Chitario

    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

  • @davormaplenik2776

    • @MikeonBikes
      @MikeonBikes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    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?

    • @88Heckenlively
      @88Heckenlively 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!
