"Let Mr. Ordinary feel like he has a bit of talent off road" :) funny

[@golferchin76]

I am 5'7". I learned to ride 980mm seat height off-road bikes with one leg down, whole ass to one side, and the other thigh clinging onto the bike when situations arise. The thing about off-road is to keep going at a speed so the bike can roll over obstacles, and only stop at where the bike can stop. Like don't stop at a mud pool. It's always the riders' problem not the bike. It's a good review but you put off potential riders who might want to give this great bike a try. You are supposed to kick the side stand up before you get on the bike, and you don't have to stand with two legs on the floor... This is not an adventure bike this is a serious offroader.

the 701 vitpilen looks amazing too

[@wozza59]

Good review.

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

0.31 that is not an SMCR but an SMR 450. Good short review though.

[@bezetuba]

sorry to say that but it looks like reviewers can't ride a supermoto or enduro properly... I am looking for a review from a supermoto rider to a supermoto rider :)

[@GoodbyeFromHell]

i am about to buy one of these bikes, but what is the difference between the ktm 690 enduro and the husky 701 enduro? They both have the same lc4 engine, hydrolic clutch, ride by wire etc... Its for road use mainly, so witch bike is going to be the best choice?

[@yogavnture1]

+GoodbyeFromHell it dosent matterwhat the differences are the ktm bike discontinued now. u have no choice if u want new. its the husky (i mean ktm 6900 spray painted white)

[@GoodbyeFromHell]

+yogi yogi Seriously? All over the world? Why would ktm discontinue one of their best bikes?

[@yogavnture1]

I heard their profit margins on it are not that great. ktm bought out husky so in essence the new husky is just a ktm repackaged. same exact engine on both

[@yogavnture1]

+GoodbyeFromHell honestly the husky 701 supermoto would be the best bike for road use. if I needed a bike I would buy that

[@GoodbyeFromHell]

+yogi yogi sounds reasonable, only the supermoto forbids off-road use, the enduro model allows me to ride everywhere i want (tough i will be riding on-road mainly) +i think the enduro looks better with the bigger tires etc. And thanks for the heads up :)

Nice, no maybe the prices for used 690SMC's will come down here, it's not uncommon to see people asking $7,000-8,000 USD around here.

[@wetandsalty5085]

Nice sales pitch.

[@dullen87]

Just buy the SMC then and slap on off road tires

[@fedswithful]

19" front tyre [enduro]... whoops

[@yogavnture1]

I wouldn't buy the supermoto because I'm tall and I don't want to feel like I'm on a minibike when I ride . if the announcer is short he should be buying a Yamaha yz80

[@yogavnture1]

but I'm tall. I don't want to have to bend my legs too much to reach the ground. don't blame husky that u are short.. u keep whining about how short u are. its user friendly if u are tall!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing about off-road is to keep going (at a crushing speed) and only stop at where the bike can stop. It's always the riders' problem not the bike.
