[@loskiff]

The last metaphor is just fantastic! Thank you for sharing this video! Very nice review

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+loskiff Thanks! More english videos to come. greets K.OT

[@moulin680]

Great review I appreciate you doing it in English thanks so much !!! looking forward for you test ride !! Specially off-road !! 👍👍

[@ramanjahni]

Great in depth review, Thank you! Pretty sure im going to sell my Husky 610 and upgrade to this one when it's out in Europe. Very happy to see Husqvarna is alive and well after a few uncertain years.

[@meals24u]

Great vid! Man Husqvarna is really taking off here in Canada!!! Many dealer popping up and great popularity. I can't wait to test one..

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

Super video! Good work 1000PS. I hoped to hear more comparison with the 690 KTM

[@speedymoto9562]

I've never ridden a supermoto but you are selling me on this bike, for sure!

[@VARider1]

Really looking forward to the fully spec'd US Enduro model when formally announced.

[@NeirinCedric]

Your wristwatch analogy was good!

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+Neirin Thanks. Wristwatches are my 2nd favourite passion. 3rd. greets K.OT

[@AlanLuangrath]

Awesome that this is in English!! i love this bike ^_^

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

+Alan Luangrath Catering to a wider market :-)

[@madmike5144]

Cool bike, awesome video, so Ktm has fix that oil consumption "problem" in this engine... I had that "last Italian" Husky, i mean 2010 sm510r, that is to me best Husqvarna ever

[@aubreyroche5080]

I am really Digging the Husqvarna 701 ! Your English is fine...

[@danielkatz7717]

he's Austrian like me, it's not that easy :D

[@ripmax333]

you forgot to mention one important feature that i think only husqvarna cared to make for other possible customers, which it can come with an A2 license friendly map. that's a smart move because you can attract much more potential customers and i believe it's still a fun bike to ride, once the individual gets his or her full license can then use the full power of the bike.

[@glenjamin2703]

Awesome review! 1000PS definitely has the least biased reviews of them all in KZbin land. I just wish I spoke and understood German so I can watch all your vids 😔

[@apextwin9445]

Getting one in January 2016! I cant wait...

[@airdoctor1251]

+SRJW BIKE_OFB people are crying that europeans are getting this november (preordered mine , i'm european) but they forget that winter makes it hard to build up a good amount of miles. Good luck :D

[@apextwin9445]

Thanks and enjoy putting many miles on your 701!

[@hubpronamomarne]

love what you say about the name. It's a husqwarna, it makes all !

[@pierluigisonsini9388]

Great review, but now I'm more confused than ever...should I buy the enduro version or the supermoto??? I know it depends on the use, but I can't decide!!

[@ohnegative9526]

I have the same problem..

[@pierluigisonsini9388]

Eventually I bought the enduro (just got it, last Friday!) because I believe it's the best trade-off. There are too many limitations off road with the supermoto, while the enduro rides very well in the street. It does vibrate as you ride above 70 km/h, but I believe the supermoto vibrates too. It's a great bike, but I won't use it on the highway for long distances.

[@nEEdLzZz]

wirklich ne geile review KOT! hut ab!

[@GregThorneKTM500NB]

Nice review for a beautiful bike.

[@You-Toober]

+Greg T (KTM500NB) Yeah!! Well, except for that seat..... :P

[@danpatch6735]

awesome review

[@Cramec]

Nice review

[@airdoctor1251]

god bless your beard, thanks for the review! ^.^

[@JesterENTMT]

...YOU again!!!😂

[@airdoctor1251]

hahaha yaaa!! xD

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+Air Doctor Beard says "fänks". greets K.OT

[@kumaressan]

Nice review. Very informative.

[@pippolacoste8547]

Great video! I have a question: why would somebody buy this instead of a SMC 690, except the color and the name? Is the price the same? But the real question is: why would KTM (as a company) have two bikes so similar? Not that I'm going to buy them, after what they did in Varese (and with the Husaberg as well) I'm not considering a KTM for sure. Me, I'm going to buy a SWM 650, same old Husqy 630!

[@JohSno]

Real good, quality review. Your english is perfect ;) Subscribing now! P.S. Oh, and thumbs up for the beard!!

[@Ye4k]

what is fuel mapping? someone told me that you could make the bike drivable with a A2 card, does that have something to do with the fuel mapping? :)

[@NoBasisForComparisonNBFC]

Great Review as always. I prefer the German/Austrian. Ich vermisse das Grüß Gott am Anfang. Your English is great brother.

[@You-Toober]

@ 5:40: that's great news!! I ideally, i would love to own a Beta 500 rs, but it's maintenance intervals are *every 30 hours* as opposed to every 10000 or so km. Way too much maintenance for me to own.

[@vivimu]

very good comparison video thanks from the north pole

[@crookedrailroad1250]

sweet!

[@EpicHotCheese]

Any tall riders here? I'm 6'3 (190cm), not sure if I will fit nicely on it... Also, can you carry a pillion on this?

[@JesterENTMT]

Dear Santa! Can you bring me one from Portugal?!?🎅🏼

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+Jester Entertainment I would if I could. Until that, someone has to make me the richest person in the world. greets K.OT

[@JesterENTMT]

So you ARE Santa!?! Please bring all my friends one as well... And as TOM JONES would say: "You don´t have to be rich to be my bearded girl..."

[@istra70]

Thanks for posting the video. Tell guys in Husqvarna that they can sell 1 million bikes if they continue 900 NUDA ....

[@You-Toober]

Does anyone know if the Husqvarnas are a reliable brand? What's the good and the bad about the bikes (and the company)?

[@RsEramies]

+You Toober As the guy said, its basically a KTM. So go read about the Ktm 690, thats the exact same bike. But all in all. Yes its relieable, nothing bad to say except that its heavy.

[@You-Toober]

+RsEramies i ask because of things i've read/heard about the 690 enduros: stalling for no reason, things falling off the bike (that shouldn't be happening), getting false neutrals, problems with control at low speeds, etc,. I know no one's perfect, but from what i've read/heard about the enduro 690 r, things like that shouldn't be happening with a bike that costs as much as it does. That's why i ask (and also held off from buying it).

[@vivimu]

+You Toober only thing you're going to break are the turn signals, the mirrors, and maybe the foot shifter and pegs. depending of course how wild a rider you are

[@You-Toober]

Jeremiah Johnson Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a good dual sport bike and i didn't want to buy a lemon/crap bike. Now if they would just release the price (USA model)....

[@Obywatel_RP8P]

Too bad it was wet. Nice review though. Tnx KOT.

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+Darek Nowak You're welcome. More to come. Next stop: KTM Duke V in 2 weeks. greets K.OT

[@gunnarstahl2741]

Ate u whereing a turban or s beanie

[@mbal4052]

How does it wheelie?

[@JesterENTMT]

That's what you can see in MY channel!😉

[@1000PSMotorcycleChannel]

+Mark Balfour The engine has so much constant torque, that it's very easy to wheelie with perfect control. greets K.OT

[@NetMillionaire]

Cracking beard that 😊

[@hollywoodquiet]

Well, it looks like I finally found a replacement for my XR650R.

[@Haxixe13]

didn't understand when he spoke about the 10.000km's thing

[@TheBaj]

+Haxixe 13 the service interval is 10000 kms

[@Haxixe13]

thank you very much

[@surg23]

Hmm, a white and yellow 690 SMC/Enduro-R. 67hp Booo! Still waiting for someone to make something truly awesome

[@You-Toober]

+surg23 67 hp may not be over-whelming to you...but keep in mind the bike's light weight and it's a single cylinder. The ktm 690 enduro r (i haven't ridden one), which i hear/read people *rave* about it's performance, has about 65 hp.

[@surg23]

You Toober I do take such things into consideration when I make statements like that. Both bikes are rated at 67hp. They are almost carbon copies of each other. The only real tangible difference being the color. My 500 exc has 60hp and weighs 35kg less. If you do the math, the 500 has better power/weight than both of these bikes, And it's an enduro bike. I expected to see single's evolve in performance over the last 30 years, but the horsepower ratings continue to stagnate. What we see here in these bikes is nothing revolutionary in terms of performance, conversely, I find them disappointing. If the 701 was released with 90+hp I would go out and buy one the next day. 67hp on a 155kg bike is lax in my opinion. I could easily use another 30-40hp on my 500.

[@RsEramies]

+surg23 Well first of all, no your EXC doesnt have 60hp. But yes, the 701/690 needs more power or less weight. Ultimately, it comes down to reliability. They want to make a bike with 10k kilometer service intervals, so they need to cut the compression or make the engine stronger (=add weight). Id be happy to ditch the service intervals if they saved 10kg on the engine and added 10hp. After all im happy at the moment with changing oils every 500km.

[@surg23]

+RsEramies Well I must have been dreaming when I took it to get Dyno tested, And the video of said dyno must be a figment of that dream. The more important thing to take away from that is: KTM 690 = 387bhp/tonne 500 exc = 462bhp/tonne To put things into perspective. The 690 engine is rated at 50rwhp = 66hp at engine *not at the wheel*.

[@RsEramies]

+surg23 You know... dynos are all different. Results may vary a lot. Ive seen results in the range of mid 40's to mid 50's for stock EXC500's. One individual dyno should not be referred to for measuring the power. One thing that is for sure, EXC500's don't make 58hp on the crank stock, thats a few too many. Now you're going to say "but it has the akrapovic silencer". Well as you saw it doesn't do anything without the header, you got peak hp with the baffle on.

[@HippoPlays]

basically the only difference is the aesthetics..... Surely KTM could have just offered a colour option rather than pretending it is a Husky. Loved the old Huskies, this is just shite

[@Grabntab]

Phuu... Richtig schlechtes Deutsch-Englisch! Anstrengend zu gucken.
