Right now I'm tryna move up from a ninja 400 to a 600. But after that I might wanna get one of these 700 singles. It's the same concept as the 400 like a super lightweight flickable bike, and a lot of these bikes actually have way more power

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

Do it. It is a great bike to learn on further, you will be able to do things you didn’t think possible on a sportbike style. Hqv 701 was my 3rd bike. Wish it was my second

Why not? :D

[@ovidiu2951]

[@churchofbrap876]

Great video Schaaf! KTM 690 is a great bike too, more low end torque. Both bikes epic fun!

[@Confusius.]

Knowing the 690 very well, but without having ridden the 698, I'm 100% certain the KTM doesn't even get close to the quality of a Ducati. Ducati always puts far superior suspension into their bikes and it's not difficult to make a better gearbox than that of the 690.

[@churchofbrap876]

@@Confusius. I love my 690, but ya Ducati makes quality stuff; And I believe KTM has a new version of the 690 soon, so stay tuned!

[@Schaaf]

Indeed. The Ducati is superior. Much better brakes, much better suspension. Regarding the engine, my colleagues and I compared the Mono with the 690. In 3rd gear starting at 50kph they are equally fast.

[@churchofbrap876]

@@Schaaf you should ride a 690 with exhaust, intake and power commander. Completely different bike. Can do the same to the Hyper, but bend over, it's over $3k here in US to do Ducatis exhaust filter and flash. Twice the $$ as doing the same to the KTM. Gotta pay to play!

Great review! Would you recommend this bike to a tall rider(190cm) or am i too tall for it? Thanks in advance

[@Schaaf]

Supermotos are kind of made for tall riders

[@YATESA8]

I am a few cm taller than you and I tested an older hypermotard. It was nice and smooth, but also a bit boring. This one had a seat height of 825 mm (32.5 in). It was too small for me and also did not give me a supermoto vibe; more like a fancy daily. I believe the model you saw in this video has a seat height of 904mm (35.6 in), which is way better, yet my old husky smr 570 has a seat height of 920 mm / 36.2 in and I can still put both my feet flat on the ground. You do not want the old hypermotard. Too small and not really exciting to ride. Do wonder how the latest model feels like.
