Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2016

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

It's a good bike, but if you're not quite as strong, the 350 has many more advantages and almost no disadvantages off-road. So ladies, keep an eye out for 500cc riders in the paddock. These are men whose shoulders you can safely lean on and who can probably protect you from a grizzly bear.

Relatively much power

"sloppy" driving possible

light handling-.

A little more weight.
