thank god.. im 40 and this is my dream bike.. dont have it yet, but it's the one i want to buy next (mt09, vulcan, gs, hornet - ex bikes reverse chronological order)
Was using 701 almost every day for 4 years. Sold it cuz needed money for business. Now moved to another country for living. Can’t wait to get a new 701. I simply don’t want any other bike 🤷♂️ And yes, bought it in my late twenties 🤣
“The bike that makes you feel young” is perfect. In my mid fifties i must agree. I use my Ktm 690 for commuting to work and quick trips to the shops as well as trails when i get the opportunity. It’s a fantastic city bike and handles the traffic and rough city roads we have here in the states with ease. It’s not my only bike but quickly became a favorite
Glad you had a good time with your fall test ride. Hope you have a good weekend too. Three inches of snow here on Thursday to go with the falling leaves.
Couldn't agree more about the fun aspect. I've had mine about two months it has to be one of the best bile's I've ever ridden. Were you referring to the traction control when talking about the ABS because you can turn of both traction control and ABS, but ABS only to the rear wheel which keeps ABS on at the front, But I'm loving my bike and its brilliant to see your enthusiasm
I had Ducatihyper and sold 4 years ago what ever I tried I didnt get the fun Which these types of bike gives ofvourse hyper is bot a spermoto but close to one , Now Im time to decide between 701 or smcr They r both nearly same bike as I know , but I always look more to 701 bec of color and shape , is it light enough to flip the and slide the bike on the road , abit rideing Hooligan type
@@elifelif777 they're brilliant at so many things but very sat up for highway speeds. But to be honest you would be having fun well before you get anywhere near to highway speeds anyway.
@@mikehudson868Im living in a Tiny country - Malta- there is No Highways at ALL in Malta anyway... 😀 All the Roads are curvy here like a supermoto Track ,🤣 So 701 will make a sense here 🤭
@@elifelif777 all I can say is your a lucky man the 701 is perfect for you, so flickable the handling is superb the torque is amazing. You would have more fun than a newly released prisoner in a brothel lol.
Great review and loved the autumnal setting (watch out for those slippery leaves on the road). I quite fancy one of these bikes for the road (tons of hp and little weight) and unusual.
I have a 2007 ktm 690 sm. Very unique look as they only made that body style for 2 yrs. Hard to find alot of aftermarket for but i love it. Its so light and nimble. The vibrations of the single cylinder can get annoying if you let the rpms climb but i keep it around 4k in whatever gear i need and have a blast throwung it side to side.
You attract dogs like a magnet. Bacon in pocket? Peanut butter shampoo? Those trees were worried... when they usually hear a Huskvarna firing up it means they're getting chopped down! 😁 (I'd love a Husky chainsaw AND that 701)
This bike is awsome , But for me its not a biginner bike ,it can be light but definitely not a begginer bike Its opp its a bike whom for really knows how to ride and ready to Race and be Hooligan sometimes some places , Also has aloot exprinces on bikes , It can be light at the same time would be Dangerous on doing Rodeo Like AmericanCowboys , Its a superfun bike its a bike that someone already tried Rode many many bikes and knows how to act on this wild iron Foal,,😊
Hello, another great review and thank you for the time taken. If you want a real wheelie bike, take a Yamaha XT 550 for a spin and give yourself cheap thrills for an afternoon.
This was one of the most fun bikes I have ever tested. I didn't want to give it back after the ride, it's on my wishlist, but unfortunately in Thailand it is so overpriced.
Hey there, I just bought the Enduro for 60,000 MYR in Malaysia, very close to the UK price. I'll be riding in Thailand a lot! Maybe you can consider buying MY if you live near the border.
Meanwhile on the other side of the world being “Down Under”, today I rode my Husky Nuda 900R! Now we are in to late spring, but with all the flooding you wouldn’t know it! 🌧🤬 So Diamanté, will you find room in the garage for one?…😍🤤🤣😎🇦🇺
Haha I wish I could give one away. Or keep one. When I came back tk GH Motorcycles I said one thing I really hate in my job. That I have to give some bikes back.
I'm 50 and I daily commute on my 701 Supermoto and also do trackdays... It excels in both.
I have a 2017 with 42K and just bought a 2023 and I'm 60, Still riding the wheels of them !
thank god.. im 40 and this is my dream bike.. dont have it yet, but it's the one i want to buy next (mt09, vulcan, gs, hornet - ex bikes reverse chronological order)
62 and my speed triples been gathering dust 😂
smcr 690
i m 56 and need to ride my 701 2020, everyday, pure fun..it keep me a badass young rider..😁😁😁😁😁😁
I'm an everyday rider of 2020 701 - love it!
🙌 Jealous a bit.

Its my dream-bike, especially the 2020 model. Its still euro 4 (not 5 like 2021 und 2022) but already has the new Design.
Glad you had a good time with your fall test ride.
Hope you have a good weekend too. Three inches of snow here on Thursday to go with the falling leaves.
I'm nearby in Sudbury and own one of these. I love riding it on the B roads too. You just can't wait for the next corner! :)

Really nice and well explained review. It looks a tall bike. What is your height please? Do you feel comfortable on it? I am 1,80 cm…
I’m 175cm. And felt absolutely fine on it. I believe 180cm height it’s even more perfect.
Thank you for your reply…I feel more confident now.
you can switch off rear abs and tractioncontrol.
Nice video and nice to see you enjoying the bike
Always fancied the long range model with the 2 fuel tanks would be a blast going to work and back
If it’s not too far and have fun roads hell yeah
Another excellent video Diemante. When are you going to visit the U.S.?
Any advise on buying 701 enduro and have sumo wheels on side or they are completely different and just changing wheels doesn’t work. Many thanks
Hope you got over to Thailand ok ,,love the review and video as always and sensible advice.

No treats. It’s my heart ❤️ attracts them. 😊
Haha there is a similarity in that sound. But I quite like it. Suits the bike!
You should have taken a left on the gravel where you where looking at the helicopter, why not lol
Im 28, and living in Canada, these are not very common here like in Europe. I use mine (2017) for daily commuting, as long as the weather cooperates
Looks fun! Initial reactions: 1. Does look quite tall. 2. Those pure on-road tires look a bit odd on a bike that may get used off-road or on gravel…?
It is quiet talk to be honest. But because it’s so light, not an issue at all.
There is an MX version of it.
That's the point of a Supermoto :)
You can put dual sport tires on it. It's not meant for off road. Search supermoto races on TH-cam and you'll see what it looks like.

colchester hahaha nice i pick up my 2017 husky 701 in next few days
What’s funny about Colchester? 😅😂
@@tomboyabit no nothing just used to live there made me chuckle when i see it in youtube video, picked up the bike today there a blast to ride ;)

Putting it in the list!
And in the background in the park is a woman walking along swinging a bag of doggie-doo-doos 😅
😂
I struggle to touch the floor with my 401 😂 how tall are you? looked as though you had no issues with the height at all
This was one of the most fun bikes I have ever tested. I didn't want to give it back after the ride, it's on my wishlist, but unfortunately in Thailand it is so overpriced.
Same!
Oh here in Thailand it would be super fun to ride it!!! For sure.

@@danielhusain7570 can't do that, won't be able to register it in Thailand. And I live in Bangkok 😁
yes you'd have to register it in Malaysia and use it in TH for 180 days max, not convenient if you live in BKK@@LeftHandCustoms
nice bike 👍Price?
Hello!from 🇮🇳India, Just wow! Please can you describe about JAWA 42 2.1 one more?
Unfortunately I only can ride Jawa again in Summer in Lithuania.
I think these are still made in Sweden.
Meanwhile on the other side of the world being “Down Under”, today I rode my Husky Nuda 900R! Now we are in to late spring, but with all the flooding you wouldn’t know it! 🌧🤬 So Diamanté, will you find room in the garage for one?…😍🤤🤣😎🇦🇺
I had one.. couldnt get on with it so i traded it in for my Harley!!
Why you didn’t like it?
@@tomboyabit Oh so tall and always wanted to stall. More my fault than the bike I guess? I find my little 883 much more forgiving.
Haha... ye onepot thing... thanks god they are no kickers anymore these days... :D
Hi Deimante!🙂
Hi Chuk 😉
Great video, and maybe try the NUDA 💙💛
who needs one? if its going spare I will have it 😂👍
Haha I wish I could give one away. Or keep one. When I came back tk GH Motorcycles I said one thing I really hate in my job. That I have to give some bikes back.
I felt physical pain watching this
.......wheelies and embarrassing sports bikes 😛
hello, have an awesome weekend, try the990 superduke
