Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2018

The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.

elegant design

strong brakes

excellently tuned engine

good sound

suitable for everyday use

Some useful extras at extra cost

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled 2021

The Desert Sled may not be made for tough off-road use, but it is well equipped for fun parties on gravel roads and in light terrain. With the additional riding mode (ABS can be switched off at the rear wheel), the large 19-inch front wheel and the fully adjustable suspension elements, it certainly meets these requirements. The seat height of 860 also suggests that off-road rides are not completely absurd. Presumably, however, it is this breathtakingly pretty look of the Desert Sled that will arouse the interest of retro fans anyway.

cool look

robust appearance
