Jan 2016 Salem, Oregon Supermoto Dreaming... | 2016 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro!
I'm liking the "claimed" HP on these. Haven't ridden a Husky since the 80's. Husqvarna Motorcycles is diving back into the on-road segment in 2016 with two new large displacement single-cylinder models, the 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro... 2016 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro First Ride Review - Motorcycle USA |

They look great, but wish they had the new motor from the 690 Duke. It is a game changer! http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/12/11...t-ride-photos/ Edited by PeteN95 on Feb 7th 2016 at 09:35 AM |

Surprisingly, the plastic subframe has not been an issue with their current lineup with VERY few reported broken examples out there. I wouldn't load it like an around the world bike on the back, but should be fine if you use Wolfman style,or Giant Loop style bags. Oh, and last I checked it's the same engine as the 690.

Pete, where are you getting your info? It's the same engine for each, just the cam or valves are different for a different output. The output is only about 5hp difference between Husqvarna and the KTM version. The big differences in the bikes is the type of suspension you prefer.
