Loved my 701 and 690 supermotos. Fantastic bikes

[@williamrae9954]

Don't forget the best option, the Gas Gas 700...cheaper by a long way,and the best colour IMO?

[@TheSpragz]

@@williamrae9954yeah. I’ve not had one of them. I love the red but the alloy wheels don’t belong on a Supermoto. Plus the resale value of gasgas are rubbish.

Great to see a woman choose a Husky 701 - I think you must be the first I've heard of. Nice to see young people enjoying biking and sharing the experience. Ride safe.

I went on a road-trip from the Netherlands to the south of France on my 701 SM. Did some serious off road as well and had no issues accept for a flat rear tire, thats all. The 701 is one beast of a machine 👌🏻

[@lvv700]

Hey, I am interested in maybe traveling with a 701 SM but wanna go off-road to. Could you describe more of what the 701 is capable of in off-road

[@williamrae9954]

Firstly, sensors, very sensitive, I got pulled in for "nitrates"(from the agri-world),you were searched without knowing it! I've toured Europe on a SM,a Gilera RC600 with 17" rims on, Scotland to Namur for the motocross, then up to Stockholm, back across to Bergen,Norway, home. Then I built a MuZ Baghira SM, and went back to Scandinavia on that,2 up, supermotos are the best thing for over there, with a slightly studded tyre on,for the shale roads(I met my first one without warning at nearly 70mph,I'd have come off a road bike). Currently eyeing up a 701,why I'm on here...great trip!

[@radiocrash]

I rode the enduro version of this from London to Cadiz south of Spain. The seat is without doubt the most uncomfortable I have ever ridden.

Very interesting and great motorbike ride.....2000 miles...England-Germany... The scenery along the way....very interesting and very beautiful...

[@EllieBikes]

Thank you! It was stunning 😁I have the second part going up later today with _even more_ scenery

[@jay26cee]

Freshing to see more and more girls on bikes videos. Very envious of your trip to Germany - especially Black Forest, and no doubt B500! Lovely part of Germany with awesome motorcycling roads. If you head to central Switzerland, check out the magnificent Lauterbrunnen just south of Inter Laken. It is not far from Grimsel and Furka passes. Ride safe.

[@EllieBikes]

Yes, we did do the B500! And a few others 🙌 Ohhh I'll definitely check that out next time, thank you! You too :)

[@فيصلالقحطانيفيصلالقحطاني-د6ر]

[@MotoExploring]

Nice video! I am planning to do some long trips in my ktm 690 and i would like if you have any tips for long trips since the 701 is similar to the 690. I saw you use a os-base mount, any feedback of how good it is? You got lots of weight in the rear, i know the 690 is prone to brake the subframe bolts when you got too much weight in the back. I advise to switch to stronger bolts. If you like mountains roads you should visit Portugal, is full of them.

[@Cliffracer46]

Same, what year is your 690? Mine’s a ‘21. Still have to find some decent bags for the bike and maybe a chain lube. Any info for the seat perhaps? Feels kinda stiff after a hundred kms.

[@lvv700]

@@Cliffracer46did you find the answers to your questions now after 2 months? Because I wanna maybe travel with a 701 SM and do some off-road to

[@Cliffracer46]

@@lvv700 hey! I actually sold mine this month for a tuono, the ktm was very reliable for me, no issues after 7k miles. Swapped it cause the aprilia for track and road. Here is what I found out: - Seat upgrade, you can get a seatconcept or touratech one, these are very comfortable. If you can’t get one I’d recommend using the stock one and putting gel inside or something softer, some shops do that. - Bags found out many different bags, some even fit without having to drill holes in the plastics, there’s many out there. I found some from xlmoto, but enduristan is specialized in that area, kinda pricy but solid! - chain lube: cobra or scottoil, those work great and automatically lube the chain without having to worry about it. If you go offroad a lot you might want to clean it more often though.

[@eseparanoiac]

Come to spain!

[@snatr]

Nice and genuine documentary 👍 And maybe you're a bit camera shy, but it would be nice to see some interactions or something besides the road just to get to know you a bit more 😉

Thank you! Haha, I'll try in the future! For this trip I didn't want to think very much about filming and just focus on the ride, but I'll try and get some other snippets on my next trip :D

Great video, I have a 2019 701 - love it but I bet that seat killed your arse!

[@BPlayerC]

Hi Ellie. I’m planing a road trip in August from London to Romania. What websites did you use to book your hotel and you done it in advance?

[@amateurel4129]

How comfy did you find the bike? I suppose you can go only as far as the fuel range before you need to stop! What was the seat cover you used? Thank you! Nice video

[@thisiswherethefunbegins]

Looks like it's the factory seat. The bike itself is not that comfy for longer trips. I made a 1200km trip last summer, it was an agony on my '21 701.

[@TheSpainy]

How did you tie the luggage to the bike ?

[@simonh6866]

Hi Ellie, Loved your vids! Did you lower your Husky as I noticed you use an Airhawk type pad so that would make it even taller unless you are very tall?

[@maxflight777]

You don’t need it ! I can do 400km a day on the stock seat.

[@batmanonabike3119]

I like the look of the husky for my next bike. What is it like getting/fitting panniers? I hear the exhaust gets incredibly hot.

[@EllieBikes]

Panniers are super easy! I used the kriega OS base And yeah. Stock exhaust is mega hot, I melted a kriega strap on it when I didn’t tie it down right Aftermarket exhausts are much less hot + you can get silicon heat guards which are definitely a good idea

[@batmanonabike3119]

@@EllieBikes cool, thanks for the info. I’ll defo return to this if I get a husky. I was trying to get into live streaming from my bike this year. Not an easy this to do in the UK. All was well until a car moved into my lane and knocked me off earlier this year. Ive also had too many run ins with speeding cameras and am looking at a ban for a while. I figure a supermoto might still be fun at lower speeds and hopefully I can keep a license for longer! And it pleases me that the Husky appears suitable for touring too, you seem to get along with it. Ride safe 🤙

Yeah it was a worry! Chained our bikes together, disc locks too. We had alarms and trackers also. Plus we parked as close to our airbnbs as possible!

[@AmenCornerRider]

How tall are you? Is the seat height of the 701 close to 35”?

[@EllieBikes]

Just under 6ft, and I can touch with both feet - not quite flat foot though. I’d say 35” sounds about right
