    Was very hesitant on selling my minty XR650R very hard finding an equal big bore replacement but got the new 701 SM and is it ever an awesome bike. Very cool having 74 reliable hp with an e-start!.

    In Oz all 3 brands are are nearly 20k! Just way too much for essentially a dirt bike! If you see the forums and FB pages there are heaps of broken dashes and other gremlins. And after all these years ktm still hasn't sorted the false neutrals that can happen in any gear! If they weren't so overpriced and more reliable they would sell plenty of them!

      @@fleshpie2129 I have over 50,000 miles between my KTM and Husqvarna. Except for wear items, I’ve only had one problem. The clutch basket nut came loose on my Husqvarna. The tabbed washer that’s supposed to be behind the nut, was not there. I’ve had more problems with Hondas. And, I am not kind to my motorcycles. It’s WFO all the time. I’ve found them very reliable. Especially for the performance that they give.

      @@johnDukemaster I believe that was not his point. The GSX-S is more bike for a lower price. More fun shouldn't mean more money really. After all you get 3 cylinders less and almost no dash... it's a big thumper. Great bike really, but you do pay a premium for the red paint.

Supermotos aren't for everyone's taste but I can agree that brand new, KTM gasgas and Husqvarna 700 supermotos are really expensive... But a 450 and a 500 Supermoto can do the same with more torque if you only want fun and go for wheelies and twisties

    "...started in the late 90's by crazy French people"?
    Dude, "supermotard" was just French for "superbiker". As in, "ABC's Wide World of Sports: Superbikers", inaugurated in 1979 as a TV-friendly event that aired through '85. But like jazz, blues, rockabilly, and a few other things the US got right, it became a "prophet without honor in its own country."

      I remember watching as a kid and being so stoked to see Steve Wise racing. He was from my hometown in south Texas. He was a great all-around rider. Motocross. Flat track. Road. He could do it all at a really high level. I guess that is why he was so good at Superbikers.
