New GasGas SM 700 Supermoto and ES 700 Enduro | First Ride

Sadly no more orange 690 ,,,now it is just the white 701 or red GasGas ....I cant warm up to the gas gas personally

[@twowheelpilot]

The Japanese proposed no options whatsoever.

[@glenmack3640]

I had a 2009 KTM 690 Duke; best handling bike I’ve owned in over 40yrs of sports bike ownership, 2-3 & 4 cylinder bikes in the mix. I currently own a GasGas 300 2 stroke enduro, great bike. I will be adding one of these Supermoto’s to my garage.

[@richardwalmsley7579]

I had the husky 701 (2017) made an amazing commuter bike, so light yet so powerful, Power commander/ ecu flash made an amazing difference to low down power, -1 front sprocket was fun :)

[@DavideGTI86]

same here, what bike you ride now?🙂

[@richardwalmsley7579]

@@DavideGTI86 None atm, had to sell it as it was to noisy for my early starts with my new job.

[@Rufus-OG]

Looks like a fun launch trip. Do we really need yet another version of the 690/701 platform? I don’t think so. KTM should rumble through the parts bin and make a the 690/701 Adventure to replace the ancient (but epic) 640 Adventure. Too hard? It seems so 🤦‍♂️ … so just make 3 almost identical bikes in 3 different colours with different stickers 😀👌🏻😞

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

Ktm tried the 'pilens' They were an epic sales failure.

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

You know what they really should do? A smcr 490. There is no off the flopr lower capacity sumo except the klx300. Which is slow.

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

@@HeyAddieImTojo its coming.

[@Jimo368]

Precisely

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

@@Bow-to-the-absurd that is good news. I mean, i own the 701sm. But man it would be fun with a lighter, even more nimble bike to just thrash around. I don’t need to go 180km/h whit the roads i have here (nor am i capable😂)

[@yoshyoka]

Hard tip for KTM: instead of selling the same platform under other names, why not use some R&D and make the unicorn bike? It is not too far a step away!

[@Weltbummler23]

Exactly make the damn 490 enduro R 🤦🏻

[@randersson3672]

Nice that KTM offer more colors to the 690.😁 Still like to keep mine orange ;)

Agree. It looks amazing in red. I also like that new helmet you're rocking.

[@Canuck_213]

Sumo’s are the most fun you can have on 2 wheels. Hands down. Currently have a 21 SMC. 🤙🏼💯

[@martinmatouch5347]

I had Husky 701 Supermoto for a weekend and was seriously tempted to trade my Street Triple R for it. Seriously capable machine and massive laugh. As a bike foor hooning around and fun stuff it's almost impossible to beat.

[@JamesMadelin]

Just bought one. Do it! Awesome. A month in and it’s getting better and better.

[@martinmatouch5347]

@@JamesMadelin I'd love to, but I can currently afford only one bike. And I need it to do fooling around, commuting and decent amount of touring with my wife as a pillion. Triple can do all of those things even with luggage, 701 cannot. Shame. But I'll trade the Triple for more touring option next year and than I'll have space for that sweet SUMO.

[@BenjaminLion]

[@williamrae9954]

The wife's the problem these...Husky will go overland around the World better than the Triumph... everything available for the KTM/Husqvarna fits this...big tanks, luggage, etc

[@johnDukemaster]

Yep! I have the 690 Duke and it's so goood!

[@tinymotogarage]

Never understood why they never offered a package with both wheels (KTM/Husky) - it's 2 bikes in one and that would be a hell of an offering. I know you can probably buy and retrofit but a package from the dealer would be amazing. track rubber on the 17's Saturday and Sunday in the mud!

[@CarlosArizaBaber]

It would involve wheels, tires, shorter / longer kick stand, different size sprockets, brakes. Factory kit would be great though but most probably very expensive.

[@JohannesDalenMC]

Good point. I bought a 701 enduro to be the perfect compromise between dirt and road, but I find myself riding twisty back roads just as much as dirt, because this bike is so incredibly fun to ride in the twisties!

[@CarlosArizaBaber]

@@JohannesDalenMC same here. Just get another set of 21/18 wheels and put more road oriented tires. Super quick 5min swap if you wish to ride both dirt and street.

[@juliusjacob1416]

Really hoped they’d make a Rally version of the enduro model with a bit more wind protection, luggage capabilities and a windscreen. I bet they would sell like crazy. Instant (more off road capable) competitor to the T7.

[@crashalexander7232]

T7 is a tough bike to beat my friend!!

[@ferkuzuel]

There are different Rally kits available for the bike as well as luggage systems as well, but it's 100lbs lighter than the T7 and since it carries the fuel underneath the seat it feels even lighter than it already is

[@crashalexander7232]

@Tim Brandt how do you know this have you been on both bikes?

[@JeanOi]

@@crashalexander7232 I have, and as I was looking for a more off-road usage for my next bike, I ended-up buying the KTM. The KTM is a big heavy dirt bike, the T7 is a full-on fatso adventure bike. Comparing both only on their off-road capabilties is not even fair for the T7.

[@inrptn]

@@crashalexander7232 Not really. The new Aprilia beats it in almost every way. Just need to see more long-term testing and reports.

[@JK-tu1xx]

If it's cheaper than the 690 it will sell like mad, but as is typical gasgas fashion now odds are it will be slightly more expensive for the red paint over the orange plastics underneath.

Forged wheels would be lightest and strongest. But also most expensive.

[@fizzy49cc]

Do KTM/Husky Gas make a touring 690 or is it too close to 890 Adv, Imagine 690/R7/sports tourer type thing would be fun. Always liked sports tourers but the name or reviews seem to keep them down. Comfy bikes I say. Sorry wrong place to say this. Run away.

[@theJacobDev]

There's a husky long range that's more suitable for longer travels. Although as a person who was thinking about it vs 890 Adv R, I'm super happy i went with 890. It's an amazing machine. This + proper enduro (if you want to learn faster/tacker harder terrain) as the 2nd bike is the way to go.

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

[@dougiequick1]

I have the 690 and do not aggree it is the best bike on the planet for doing wheelies...Its just too easy to get into trouble with that power compared to for instance certain honda XR models that a total novice even might soon safely wheely through the gears on

I could see this SM sitting next to my converted CRF450 RL Super Moto. I was put off by the trelliss frame at first but at least there is an enduro model. Purpose built SM like the hyperMotard defeat the purpose.

[@TheDacane]

Did they manage to make a worst of both worlds seat and remove the good features from both the ktm and husky seats? Im sure seat concepts will fix it, but that thing looks like theyll have even less to work with than the other two.

[@nomad667]

I hope its cheaper than the KTM. Plastics in these last abt as far as you can see so, always buy the cheapest of the 3. That drivetrain is nice with the LPR upgrades.

Those bikes are not some supermotos, that's the opposite of the base idea, way way too heavy, and honestly on track a 450 still destroyes it everywhere. Still a nice street bike pretty polyvalent but better take a Duke 690 way lighter ans better overhaul

To reach that weight/power ratio you have to use very expensive mass:the Suter mmx500 has a a 2 stroke 576 cc v4 engine, it's not street-legal, and it has 195 hp per 160 kg (dry) but it costs over 100k $!
