    It needs gearing for sure. I remember even in first gear I had to clutch it up. And the bike will go around 130 mph. So you could definitely get away with a 5+ rear sprocket. Then I think it would be better, like you’d expect.

    I was one step away from buying a 500exc but i ve changed my mind in the last second, and i bought a 701 enduro, because i got it brand new with 2000€ less then the ktm, and with the remaining money got chain and sprockets and exhaust, arbox and pc... and i ve made it feel almost like a ktm. The only down side it s the weight. It is 30 km more. BUT, and this is the main reason that i made this choice, i don t have to change the oil every 10 hours of riding, an the piston at 50 hours. This is for somebody who probably has a mechanics team living with him.

    Just bought a 701 SM. (2018) with open air box , better can and evo map. Compared to my old XR650R SM it’s flat in the low revs. Will change the front sprocket to a 15T and if that doesn’t wake it up I will go +2 on the rear. Good fun accelerating over 40mph but slow getting to it at the moment.

    701 SM and FE501 SM sitting in my garage, even had an FS450 for racing and trackdays until a couple weeks ago when I sold it. rear sprocket on the 701 SM needs to changed (42 to 46), then it's a completely different bike and loads of fun to ride. I keep my FE501 around for the absolute no f*cks given hooligan rides, but you can't ignore the fact that bike will attract loads of unwanted attention while you can cruise around on a 701 and nobody will give you angry looks.

  • @usernameEvanT
    @usernameEvanT 6 років тому +1

    701 is outstanding supermoto! you can do everything on it (tracks days, commuting, wheelies).
    if you want the full power of the bike, ecu flash, -1 sprocket, full exhaust and air filter is the solution. best sm so far.
    exc's on the other hand are enduro bikes. of course more brutal, but you can't commute with them. riding position is gonna be really uncomortable after a lot of km on it. services cost a lot and there sooner than the 701.
    overall. if you want a powerfull track/sunday sm and you can afford the often services you buy and exc, if you can't you buy a 701.
    i have never riden an exc but yes, if i could afford one i would prefer it than 701.

    I can’t say why exactly but my favorite Husqvarna was a te449 which belonged to the dealer. He used to race Supermoto and enduro with it and was pretty good, so he had everything setup perfectly for his weight, which happened to be similar to mine.
    So I hopped on and fell in love with the bike. Was more fun than my SM510R, which I loved as well.
    The old Husqvarnas had such a smooth power delivery it was like butter. My fav Supermoto brand for sure.

Personally i find the SM510R feom 2005 the very best modell - 58PS lightweight , good marzocchi / sachs setup and a very raw sm look. lost my license for 4 years and this summer im gonna get it back... very unsure what to buy eithet an old hva used or a 701 and mofify with open box , silencer / commander and shorter gearing ....

      Vad jag vet om DRZ är att den måste man uppgradera ganska mkt för att den ska gå bra. Den är en av de få jag inte provkört. :P

    I want a KTM 500 :) Used to have a Yamaha WR450f, real fun bike that did power wheelies in 3rd gear if if was in the right mood and I loved the bottom end torque. But for offroad it was a bit to hard to controll the power after my taste (don`t like to use the clutch :)
    I did buy a new 500 EXC F after test drive of a 2 stroke KTM 300 that I found lacking in power, the 500 is a beast but also gentle if you want to :)

  • @MotorcycleSongs
    @MotorcycleSongs 6 років тому

    The problem is that if you flip a 701 during a wheelie it will probably burn. One of my friends got one a few months ago, the bike burnt today after a wheelie crash just because of the backward tank. 500 is better😜 701 is too but 0 chances to fail

    • @Luca_S_8
      @Luca_S_8 6 років тому +1

      Motorcycle Songs Well, if you don't do wheelies it is not a problem. Simple as that. Same goes for the 690.

    • @MotorcycleSongs

    • @Luca_S_8
      @Luca_S_8 6 років тому +1

      Motorcycle Songs IMO this is the best compromise between a true 450 SM and a commuter/fun bike. I would buy a bike like this 100% cause i do 75km a day and a 450 sm couldn't keep up with that for too long in terms of fuel and maintenance.
