This video is about me riding my friend Andrew's Husky 701 supermoto with a broken wrist. Here is the Husqvarna exhaust link : amzn.to/3rul2h1 keep in mind it needs to be modified to fit right Deal on gopro: amzn.to/3RyNmtf
im going to purchase one of these soon, and start Moto vlogging on it. there's only a handful of people creating content on the 701sm. liked the video!!
I know man lol I’ve been really working on slowing them down. I’m good on brake control after looping haha I just need better clutch and throttle control on the initial pull up but my wrist in this video is dead from my accident still so I was deff having trouble. Check out my others for some long 2nd to 4th gear wheelies
@@ColumbiaBros i will sugest start learning them from stand still position 1st gear. That way you will learn better. Every one can power whrelie... but chasing one is not a fun. And yeah i can bearly hear the cluch, looks like you rely more on the gas rather then the clutch. When you work with the clutch it can be more scary then opening the gas cz the front will go up instantly. Take care and dont go fast 🙂
I’m probably going to sell my new z900 and get a new 690 or 701 (690 looks more sexy though) but are these bikes stable on the highway going 90mph? Like does it shake or wobble?
So I would say they can go over 100 no problem I wouldn’t do it for like an hour it’s not really comfortable with the seating position and deff not going to feel as planted as your z900. But it all depends on your riding style. If your into more agile city riding then deff go for the supermotos. But if most of your riding is high speed pulls and highway I would say stay with the z900 or maybe get a Hypermotard from Ducati. They deff feel more planted and can handle the higher speeds no problem. It’s all preference really.
I’m really considering getting one for work commute. Does anyone here take theirs on highway for 20 min durations? 65-70mph. Does it completely work you over the whole time? Or is it manageable?
The bike itself can handle the speed no problem at all. I would say the only thing that would get a tad annoying is the wind due to the seating position. If that’s not an issue for you then it should be fine.
Yea man my wrist still hasn’t been the same since my crash last year. Of course it had to be my throttle hand as well…we’ll see hopefully eventually I’ll be 100%
Thanks, good to see the new model and what it is like. Mine is the 19 MY (pre rider modes and quickshifter) and has the SAS & Cannister removal, fuel dongle, Wings Can and lithium polymer battery. I keep the gearing standard as I do 4-5 track days each year on it. Its a great bike but I'm always wondering about trading up to the new model.
How do you like the quality of the wings? ive heard a bunch of different things about them but I havent actually heard from anyone who owns one lol. How is the quality?
@@ColumbiaBros in my experience it’s very good. I re packed it at 5’500 miles and all came apart and went back together well. Wings supplied the kit in less than a week. It’s a lightweight race type can which is basically a titanium tube with some packing and a perforated core. People get hung up on these things when in reality it’s the bore diameter and length that dictate the performance. The rest is workmanship and how good the welds etc are. I’m intending to trade my Husky for a KTM 690 this spring and will get another Wings pipe for sure.
@@rosinandracecars954 actually I went off that idea a bit. Originally it was to get the rider modes and quick shifter but now I’m thinking that the Husky has been so great I’ll keep it and maybe by another bike of sone kind.
Have a question for 701 experts....... Which conversion of 701 is easier .......SM into 21" enduro or enduro into 17" SM ? and front brake disc most likely don't match.....Will difference in steering angels cause problems ? Any advice appreciated ....
The 74 hp listed by the manufacturer is from the crank, not the rear wheel. I did a ton of mods to my 701 SM and got it dyno'd recently. Mine is putting out 77 hp at the rear wheel right now.
Sweet bike, I've watched all your videos on these. I just put a down payment/reservation on a 2022 690 SMC-R the other day. They're not technically announced yet, but they should be any day now (I've been checking every 5 minutes, lol). I'd absolutely love if they finally put a legit TFT dash on it (like every other bike on the planet in this price range has, and seeing as how it's not 1993 anymore) but I'm not getting my hopes up. At minimum, I'm hoping it includes the gear indicator and RPM like the '21 euro specs have. It will also be interesting to see what the colorway is. This will be my first road bike so I'm probably not going to do any mods right away, except I plan on replacing that stock can immediately. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Wings as soon as the bike's announced and I can be sure that fitment will be the same as '21. Those LED turn indicators on the Husky are sick, are they factory or aftermarket?
That’s awesome bro!!! Yea I’m pretty sure that there getting at least the gear indicator and numbered rpm which is nice 👍 and as for the husky those turn signals are aftermarket pretty sure they are on Rottweiler performances site. And thanks for watching! I have a bunch of footage I’m going through now so I’ll be uploading them periodically. I have a review of the new 890 as well coming soon
@@Makta972 Yes. What a bunch of idiots for wanting now-standard technology features on a 12k bike 🙄. God forbid we want something that isn't an absolute necessity. I don't get how Europeans are so fasinated with smugly commenting on Americans every chance they get.
Gotta be super careful doing wheelies if you see fresh cut grass. It’s extremely slippery and can slide you out even if both wheels are on the ground. Love the content otherwise!
