701 has a 2 year warranty, while the 690 has one year - that swayed it for me. I already have orange in the form of an '18 KTM 300 XC dirt bike, the blue yellow and white have grown on me, and variety is the spice of life you know 😆

[@moto-news]

@Graig Hoffman, sounds like a perfect choice for you! :) The Husqvarna looks quite modern and fresh with this color scheme and extra warranty is always good so I totally understand. Nice you have a KTM dirt bike as well!

[@justinkuffel]

Both have 2 yr

[@eksjun3207]

690 have 2 years warranty bro

[@EkoPrasetyo-qc6xb]

I actually like Husqvarna, all Husqvarna motorbikes, but I prefer the KTM 690, because the design is better, if only the Husqvarna were better😢

[@moto-news]

@EkoPrasetyo-qc6xb, thanks for sharing your opinion! 😃

[@sebastiengreen1517]

A lightweight 390r or 401 enduro would really be ideal and all I need. 🙏

[@moto-news]

@Sebastien Green, how about a KTM 390 ADVENTURE? Lightweight so nice to ride some offroad trails and plenty of power besides a long interval.

[@sebastiengreen1517]

@@moto-news I'm on a 300l right now and I would not want anything heavier than that for the trails. I know they make a vitpilen 401 at 330lbs with that same long interval engine. It would be nice if they would just make a dual sport with it.

[@moto-news]

@Sebastien Green , ah ok but the Vitpilen is a lot less (offroad) trails oriented I would guess? Maybe the Svartpilen 401 would suit a bit better thanks to the knobby tires but it still is a "naked" style bike? Maybe Husqvarna reads your comment and start producing a Norden 401....😉

[@d.r.penkert1429]

Beta 390!

[@Sarj_ent]

Ktm 690 all the way but the 2023 has got to be the worst color scheme of any KTM that they've ever decided on

[@moto-news]

Which colors would you prefer, more blue like on other models?

[@franktaylor7617]

😆 I was in the market for a SMC-R and the Easter egg paint scheme really turned me off. Ended up with a 2021 690.

[@moto-news]

@@franktaylor7617 haha that is also a solution, I looked up the 2021 model and those colors are nice indeed! 🤩

[@franktaylor7617]

@@moto-news I personalize it a little. The big gray and black area in the rear seemed like it could use something. I added a reflective orange 3/8" pinstripe that tied the frame and number plate area together. Also added a little detail on the rear fender. There's also a little on the fork leg protectors and a touch on the fender. Those areas completely disappear in the daytime. I put some flat black vinyl to the headlight surround and on top the fender along with a few random decals. It's all pretty subtle and looks factory to the uninitiated. Not sure what it looks like at night on the street but it works in the dark in the garage.

[@moto-news]

@@franktaylor7617 just saw you have a video of your bike on KZbin.....what a great subtle changes!👍🤩

[@franktaylor7617]

🤔 round mirrors or triangular...... tough choice. 😆

[@moto-news]

@franktaylor7617, haha yes the motorcycles look a lot a like so it is all in the details. 😉

[@kester41]

Is the gearing the same on the two bikes? A lot of people complain that 1st is to high and 6th is too low on the 690. Thanks.

[@moto-news]

@Kester McKay , good question.....I cannot find a clear answer online, maybe someone else who reads your question can let us know?😊 I do have the impression that the engines are the same so I could understand that they used the same gearing on both bikes. Are you planning to buy one of these bikes?

[@kester41]

Thanks mate. I was, but have gone with a 2nd hand T700. Just got it yesterday actually.

[@stevenshelp1107]

Not sure about the husqy. I own a 690 and 1st is geared too low (like a sportbike, takes a ton of clutch to ride out from stop, goes up to like 40 mph. 6th is low as well. With either of these bikes if you want something good offroad you need to put a 52 tooth rear and 14 tooth front sprockets on. Just don't think about highways (70 mph plus) commuting.

[@moto-news]

@Kester41, great a Yamaha Ténéré....even a bit more capable for longer rides I think. Hope you will enjoy the T700! ✊😃

[@moto-news]

@Stevenshelp 1107, thanks for sharing!👍

[@badgerbait8351]

Well, lot's of fluff, it that's what a rider is into!

[@moto-news]

@badgerbait8351, thanks for your comment!

[@scottknauer6559]

where is the charging port?

[@moto-news]

@scottknauer6559, it is located on the left behind the headlight. It is covered with a black cap to keep water out so a bit hard to see on photos.

[@rolphbluesky8537]

what about the gas gas es700

[@moto-news]

@rolphbluesky8537 we decided to not include this model in the comparison. Thanks for your suggestion. 👍

@Πέτρος Οικονομίδης , great bike! 🔥

Great choice!😎

Apex fork for ktm 690? Why say wrong things?

[@moto-news]

Hello @Lc8.Inside, You are right we made a mistake at 02:32 and wrote down WP "APEX" instead of WP "XPLOR". At 00:34, 02:26 and 10:26 we did mention WP XPLOR, hopefully the rest was informative.

[@gigizack]

@@moto-news WP Apex are on the supermoto version of the same bikes

[@Smc2023-ktm]

Moto pessima. Ho comprato il modello 2023 dopo averne avute 2 vecchie stesso modello.. la odio. La moto va malissimo chisa ai bassi e l'intervento elettronico che ovvia al freno motore la rende inguidabile per uso sportivo. davvero un abominio. non compratela. P.s. anche modificandola con scarico aperto e rimozione catalizzatore non si risolve il buco in erogazione.

[@moto-news]

Thanks for sharing your experiences @Smc2023-ktm.

[@pierrekawa76]

Un 500 EXC est beaucoup mieux,incomparable

[@PeterR0035]

aussi 10.000km maintenance interval? mieux? NON ! ... incomparable oui

[@pierrekawa76]

C est un choix ,moi ça ne me dérange pas 😊

[@moto-news]

@PeterKTM06, the KTM 500 EXC is a nice enduro motorcycle fully agree on that. The 500 EXC will be lighter and therefore more capable in offroad terrain than the KTM 690 ENDURO (or Husqvarna 701 Enduro). But when you want to go on longer trips regularly the service interval of the 690 ENDURO might be experienced as an advantage. It all depends on the way you want to use the motorcycle. 👍😊

[@mrjay4000]

Could have done a 1 minute video on the differences 😂

[@moto-news]

Thanks for your reaction @Mr Jay. Since we aim at showing the differences we presented them in the first 1:40. For the viewers who want to see more details per model are welcome to keep watching the rest of the video. Today I will upload a comparison in which only the differences of 2 models are shown and not the general information of each individual model. I will analyze how the viewers will interact and appreciate that video. 😊

[@stefanopallini814]

701 👍🔝

[@moto-news]

Great choice, a bit more unique on the streets since the majority chooses KTM.

[@hgm8337]

one orange, one not

[@moto-news]

Would you choose ⚪ or 🟠?

[@mikef3300]

I have a 2017 Ktm 690 enduro r and it’s been a great city bike for me. I use it to commute to work and quick trips to the shops. It handles the horrible city roads with ease and is a lot of fun. Like a street legal dirt bike.

[@moto-news]

The feeling of riding a dirt bike over the streets sounds great indeed! ✊

[@yuriandropov8405]

Not really a review at all

[@moto-news]

@Yuri Andropov, thanks for your comment. This video aims at indicating the differences which we did in the first part of the video. It is not a review but can people who are considering to buy one of these enduro bikes help to discover the differences and decide which one fits them best.

[@catdaddy3302]

I like the Husky, but I prefer the Akrapovic on the KTM.

[@moto-news]

@catdaddy3302, thanks for your reaction! An Akrapovic exhaust does look good, luckily you can always add it to the Husqvarna!😉

[@nevillebroadbent1601]

I cant understand people saying 701 is too low geared. Mine does over 140kph in top easily. For me it needs a lower 1st gear and could do with lower top speed

[@moto-news]

Thanks for sharing @nevillebroadbent1601! Enjoy your 701!🚀
