Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2020

The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto is a pure fun bike that is made neither for long tours nor for high speeds. Light, strong, puristic. If the automatic gearshift had also fallen victim to purism - I wouldn't mind.

Beary engine

Very easy to handle

Good brake

Chassis with reserves

Automatic gearshift needs hard commands

Brake drones from time to time
