Husqvarna 701 Supermoto Long Term Review
After having ridden so many road bikes, I think I have arrived 😁. This bike is insanity on two wheels (well...mostly one wheel tbh).
In this video, I share my experience with the bike over the year+ that I have owned it.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment down below and I will do my level best to assist

Man just found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. I have the smcr and my seat is made of concrete as well. My trick is to wear padded mountain bike undies, it helps a lot.

That sounds like a much cheaper option than an aftermarket seat. I will invest in some 🙂. Cheers 🙏🏾

I've owned the bike for about a year now. I was looking for reviews on wheels and ran into this video and decided to stay and watch. I did a lot of research before I decided to purchase the 701 SM. I was looking to get off the R6 and get something more low end fun, just like you said. I enjoy riding this bike way more than I did my R6. Sure high speed is nice, but being about to jump on a sidewalk, hit a small jump or do a wheelie is way more fun. If you've got riding experience and are considering this bike, do it! I have absolutely no regrets with this bike. It's too bad I have a screw in my tire, or else I'd get up and go ride mine. Cheers!

@afrobykr Жыл бұрын

Yeah, my first bike was a ZX6R, and you're right, going quick gets old over time. I'm sure the same applies to wheelies 😅 but I'm not quite there yet. Still having fun with the bike hehe. It's just unbelievable how multifaceted supermotos are. When I first got one, the instant thought I had was, "why didn't I do this sooner?" Anyway, sort your tyre out and smile again, Hector! It's always good to bump into other 701/690 riders. Happy riding

Hey man great review ! How about the fuel consumption ? / Autonomy ? I heard that with that little 13 L tank that you are always at the pump ⛽ is it true? Anyway just discovered your channel keep it up ! ✌️🔥🔥

@afrobykr Жыл бұрын

I would say that's 100% true. On my previously owned WR450, I was refuelling every 100km (approx 60 miles) coz the tank was even smaller. Stock on the 701, I was doing north of 200km before needing to top up. With regards to miles per recycled dinosaur, a KTM 390 I just sold did 4ltrs per 100km while on the 701 I get an average of 4.66ltrs per 100km (with moderate mods). This comprises mixed riding (work, fun etc). Hope that answers your question 🙂

@afrobykr Жыл бұрын

When I first got it, it was a bit of a challenge lifting the front. It comes pretty choked up from the factory. My recommendations if you are looking to do dank nooners easily are: 1. Always turn the TC off 2. Change your gearin/sprockets to -1 at the front and (at least) +2 for the back 3. Not necessary but it'll wake up a few more ponies. Any aftermarket solution for the airbox. There's many to chose from but that gives you the opportunity to do some research. I have a video covering my mods which addresses this specific predicament

Sick review I want one of these bikes! Contemplating getting one. Only question I have that I haven’t had many answers on is how is it on highways? Is it uncomfortable going for an hour or two on a highway or being so tall do you just eat wind the whole time etc. Any input would be appreciated!

@afrobykr Жыл бұрын

Good question. Well, in all honesty, it's not the best tool for that job. BUT I go on long rides with very few complaints. The first one being the seat. I feel like I have built tolerance for how hard it is, but on long trips, I begins to ping. So, if you wanna use if for long trips, upholstery/an aftermarket seat is a must. With regards to the wind, it's not that bad if you are doing legal speeds (including hwy). However, if you are a ln aspiring street Rossi eager to push 120kmph plus for prolonged periods, maybe a crotch rocket would be a better fit. I do 100kmph every day with not much discomfort. Hope that helps

maybe get a tune or get a bigger rear sprocket. My WR250 kinda did the same. I added a 48t rear sprocket instead of a 43 stock. Now I run outta first gear too quick.

How does it compare to your 450 what made you change? I was thinking about buying a wr450 over one of these so I'm interested to hear your opinion

@afrobykr 22 күн бұрын

Honestly, there's not that much of a difference between them for normal riding. I was absolutely in love with my WR450F but unfortunately it got stolen. The WR is quite a bit lighter making it more flickable, more forgiving off-road and potentially more fun on tight turning roads. I had an FI model (2014). The thing could wheelie like there's no tomorrow. The 701 feels slightly more like a road bike with a Supermoto riding position. To me it doesn't feel as raw as a converted WR. The components used also give a more "premium" impression. Mine has been rock solid when it comes to maintenance and the service intervals are longer than the WR. It also has a much bigger fuel tank, so less stopping when having fun. It all depends on your application and the depth of your pocket. You will definitely not be underwhelmed by the WR but knowing human nature, there will be a time when your mind will be wondering what a bigger sumo would feel like.

Supermotos are the most tempting bikes for misbehaviour, and many have lost their licences. So, you would have to make 1 of 3 decisions: 1. Choose not to buy one. 2. Choose wisely where/when to misbehave. 3. Choose to believe you have self-control and prove yourself wrong within a few days. An electric Supermoto sounds like fun. What make/model/platform is it based on?

@afrobykr Жыл бұрын

Hi Rafael, it's really dependent on the individual. I know riders who started on 600cc bike 😅. The 2020+ Husky is slightly more forgiving with the rider aids on (ABS & TC). The traction control is pretty handy in dangerous situations (rain, gravel and turning on dodgy roads). A DRZ400 would be about half the power with similar weight. So the power to weight ratio makes it a bit more subtle (not forgetting it's much cheaper). You could try that out and if you are left begging for more, you can upgrade. However, something like a WR450 or CRF450 has a decent bite and can be a handful for inexperienced riders due to their power to weight ratio. In a nutshell, if you respect the bike especially as you get used to it, you'll be fine. Try them all out at your nearest dealership.

To add to afrobykr's comment, the DRZ is great for learning on but it's an old underpowered pig.

Yeah, I had the same thoughts and feelings when I bought my first motard (DRZ400SM). At the very least, a fuel gauge would be with the realm of attainment, considering it's a street bike. However, there aren't many road trail, dirt or ds bikes that have impressive dashs imho. After a bit of riding though, I got used to the "lack" of information on the dash. There is a plethora of feature packed bikes to be had at that price point. I guess their focus when making this bike and the enduro version was on other things
