The purpose for that type of seat is for you to shift your weight according to your terrain. On ruff choppy sections/ obstacles you want to sit back a little to keep the front wheel light. For cornering and accelerating with more control you want your weight in front of the power. The seat is long and flat so you can shift your weight quickly and easily. ( watch motocross a bit you’ll see).
Not true
@@unknown-me6hu I agree, he does not know what he is talking about, the purpose of seat like these is for torture purpose only.
“I’ve never ridden a supermoto with street tires”
Big 🧠
whaaaat??
Slicks then ?
Neil Armstrong Continental’s are the best but don’t last that long because you can ride so hard. I went for a Perrelli Angel on the back of my old LC4 super motto. Harder in the middle with soft outer walls. I found it a very good tyre indeed 👍
...ummmm what now ..
i got a 2012 690smcr and supermotos are for very active riding were you constantly move around thats why the seat is flat and hard
i've got 2015 smr-r and the seat is hard and i love it!, didnt expect it to be soffa lol
@@paul1e hard and flat like my pee-poo
I have a 2012. I’m so short I had to carve out some of the seat. Nowit has a sweet little curve to it! And most importantly I have control when stopping. Fun bike. Definitely recommend it.....
@@silvakevin1 what's ur height?
@Jim Carras. 5’-7”. And its definitely a tall bike. But a lot of fun.
Remember you wrote "chaseont wowheels" on yummi's table when he was moving (or something like that)
The Kleb PAPA KLEEEEBBBYY
Testing a 690 SMCR on roads going straight?
Chase, dude bravo on the transition on the second wheelie with the audio mixed with the camera car. That was nice. Loving this season of videos.
As a 2017 SMC-R owner, I must admit that this new design is not less than hideous imo, especially the fact they removed the anodized wheels...
Agreed on the plank seat and the speed-o cluster. Swapped out the seat and silencer first on my 2016 690 Enduro R.
Supermotos are the bee's knees! When they're this good, they're awesome. When they're shite (like my previous AJP PR3 240 Supermoto) they're still awesome. I regret not filming some motovlogs on the thing - it had terrible reliability but was fun as hell. You can't beat those ergos and that lack of weight! 26:17 - 28:02 That thing looks beautiful, KTM really know how to make good looking bikes.
"And then this like raw, just, machine-thing"
-Chase, 2019
I have a 2014 KTM 690 Enduro that I converted to a supermoto and it's a blast. Your video makes me want to get the new one.
I've got the 2014 690 smcr with an akrapovic exhaust, it sounds great and it changes the riding experience a lot, bangs and pops for for the ages
This is my dream bike. Maybe one day. I do have fun on my 2015drzsm tho.
I love engine-braking as well. Unless I get too excited and blip it all the way down to first and slide the back wheel :D
Best maintenance friendly powerfull lightweight fun bike on the market right now!👍
Abs light comes on right before he gets on the highway. Did he turn off abs? I purchased this bike 3 weeks ago and is currently sitting at the dealership waiting for ktm to figure out why abs light is disengaging for no reason.
Do you recommend it for someone who has not experience on motorcycles? It’s long time ago I do not own one!
YES I’ve been waiting for this!!!
you need to test the ktm exc 500 or any sm wiyh 500cc motor. They are lighter compared to this but still have a lot of power.
Mike I’d still rather have the 690 just because of the maintenance schedule of the 500/450. They are basically supercross race bikes you can buy which is super cool but they don’t make very good daily commuters in my opinion.
I agree. I would never buy one for daily use. But i still think they are more fun.i thinks that is the reason he really should test one.@@husky701rider9
Ooooor an aprilia rxv 450/550 :0
Or any true supermoto at that
@@jarrett1000rr There is no such thing as a ,,true supermoto,, , there are different types of supermoto....
BOOTIFUL BIKE like really i like the color it is amazing
Hey chase, could you explain how you take those detailed smooth shots of motorcycles and what gear you use? Love your vedios🙂
I just want to know if that bike used the same exhaust as the older bike ? Cuz I cannot find one
what about the seat, is it hard to the point where you would look elsewhere?
Would you reccomend this as a first bike for riding alot on country roads and main roads?also it rains alot where I am!
I agree with the dash like cmon it’s 2020 would be so much cooler with a dope screen
Great review ! I’m sold !! I’m getting 1 . 🤙🏻
Is it possible to upgrade the display?
The reason the dash doesn't turn off is because it's not running off the bikes power. It's got it's own standalone battery. The 701 and this bike are essentially the same except the 701 has less features. The dash on both are exactly the same. They do in fact turn off after a short period of time.
More Chase and Yummy series please, I loved that series it was so funny.
Love the Vids keep up boiiiiiii.
The quality of your content is ALWAYS on point my man! Great video, and something for me to work up to! Also... that SMC, drool 🤤
DukeOfDC Your video quality just as good!
supermoto review without wheelies?
Patrick mvp with that classy rev-action.
Wow that dash is horrible. The previous version was much better big analogue rev counter and big digital speed readout
chazzer666 as he said, nobody that owns a supermoto cares. Only people that care will never own one.
That is the real Supermoto dash which normally is on “real” Supermotos like 450 FS
I have the 2017 version. I care. I like
dash more.
@@code23hyper44 Speak for yourself. I have a supermoto and i would love to have a nice dash. You know why? Cause it's an actual supermoto and not a dirt bike rebuild to supermoto. Therefore it's mean to be ridden on the street and on the street you better give me a proper dash. I bet you can't give one single argument why we should have such a bare bones ugly dash on a STREET bike.
I have the 2020 690 smc, I also would like an RPM indicator. Cornering ABS and traction control but no rev counter? Strange to me
This is my dream bike!!
Buddy where’s the 12 o’clock shifter wheelies
Looking for new bike this summer and two is this or the 790 adventure
can you do a 2019 Ducati scrambler cafe racer first ride
Would you ever consider trading your WR for one of these? Or getting one in addition to it?
My 701 wheelies everywhere I prefer the enduro gearing. Powers up 3rd no problem but with the rear gas tank balance point seems easier to hit ;)
but if you go over your bike is on fire
Aaron unless it doesn’t leak but otherwise it’s a mobile fire hazard
I remember riding a klr650 650 with a passenger on the back and she wouldn’t scoot close to me or hold on to me so every time I hit the throttle hard she would almost fall off the back and I would almost wheelie with no effort.
@@collide1012 the problem is that it wil leak because you fell and then it will burn
would you recommend this or the Hypermotard?
Awesome to see a bike that can really do anything
(and awesome to see you keeping up your nutrition!)
Lol at acting chill in the lot with people around, I've totally done that
(stay consistent on your goals! It takes a few months to really see results)
Chase car video slick as always. Love that initial pull out the lot shot
(stay hydrated and keep it up you got this!)
I went by the dealership. They don't have one anymore 🙄, guess they are selling pretty good after your video. Can't wait to get one!
such a lovely bike, have to get me one of these some day
Donnie Jacko I bought one in August. I highly recommend it. My third KTM Supermoto and so far this is the best one 👍
I’m looking to find a leftover or used, under 10k. How much you get yours for if I may ask? I really want one!
Jimmy Theshark I paid £8500 for mine. Brand new on a 19 plate
What records you in front of your bike, Just asking Bye the way.
How can you rate the agility so high if you can barely touch the ground I feel like one thing for riding is being able the touch the ground with ease and whenever you need to.
@chaseontwowheels Bruh, you can’t just put “73.5 torque at...” KTM measures in Newton-meters, while we in the US measure in pound-feet. 73.5Nm converts to 54.2lb-ft of torque. Otherwise, you’re making a 690cc single sound like it’s making as much torque as the 1050cc triple in the Speed Triple.
The most powerful single ever made - it'll have to do.
HOW DO YOU GET THOSE RIDING SHOTS? I don’t get it. They’re is no drone or anything there. It’s someone filming from a car. I just don’t know
Hey Chase, Love the reviews!! any way you could try and get your hands on the 2019 Desert Sled? Looking to buy one, and would love to see your review, I know you had mixed feelings on the old one...wanna see how you feel its improved. Thanks bro. Keep up the awesome work
Great video!!
WRR for life!
I’ve got one of these. The last thing on my mind is the clock
Is the bike stable at high speeds on the highway? Like no wobbles anything like that?
ViezeTurk Ive got a K&N air filter Akraprovic exhaust on mine. I’ve clocked it at 120mph and was very stable. Anywhere between 70-90mph no problem at all. It feels lighter than my old LC4 . Very nimble and plenty of power when you need it. Superb bike around the bends.
Stephen Garratt good to hear i want to sell my yammie xt660 for the ktm. But i’m worried about the reliability because the yamaha has 30k miles and i swear he never had a problem. Is the ktm also reliable?
ViezeTurk a friend on mine has the XT 660. To be fair yes it’s a good reliable bike. Mine is only 12 months old had it from new. So far yes it’s very reliable only covered 3000k so fat but I’m very happy with it.
How much are you paying for insurance
What happened to the pixelated helmets rating scale?
I got one last week....I love it
Think I would enjoy it over my 2017 Fz-10?!?! You still love it?
I’m looking to get a supermoto will it move me easily? I’m 260lbs
Going to get one next month. Do the missed shifts people experience in these first rides go away after the trans breaks in?
Cheers!
@@harvey5738 for me, I never had any missed shifts
I`ve got the 2013 SMCR and in my opinion i like the old one much better, also the speedometer is much better as the old one
_Stippo_ looks-wise I agree with you, but to ride it, it’s the best one yet by far
Congrats on 100 first. Rides
This was the 100th one? That's crazy
For more controll you should further up. But i just sit where ever is comfortable at the time xD
Will u do a first ride on the zx14
hey chase this bike compre to the new mt 07 ??
The transmission smooths out and the missed shifts go away around the 1,000 KM mark. Drove me nuts then just went away one way!
And for some reason older versions have a tach that isn't as bad. Not great by any means but better for sure.
@@chaindriven6464 It's such a shame they didn't keep the previous dash. This was designed for the street it should have a dash that goes with it.
Mine still misses a decent amount of shifts after 6,000 miles.
5:00 that whole shot looked amazing!!!!!
You should try the previous model. 2014-2016. Bit more vibrations and no quickshifter but alot cheaper and bigger dash.
@@emdjo6485 well i bought mine 2015 690 enduro R for around 6000 dollar last autum with 5000 kilometers on it, seat concept seat, evo1, skidplate and some other powerparts compared to 11000 for a new 690. Seems alot cheaper to me.
I like your honesty in your reviews. Definitely a level of authenticity that a lot of youtubers don’t have theses days. 👌
S.U.
I had a 08 wr250x and bought a 2016 smcr and it was everything i wanted. I use it as my everyday commuter. Id probably buy another in another few years. I gotta say though I miss my 08 WR.. that was a fucking great bike.
I had a 2011 690... so much vibes through the bars and the Frame to the seat that I could only do about an hour of high speed riding. Wonder how much smoother this new one is and if it’s really actually smooth or still vibes your fingers and toes numb
Sam Stacey great! Thanks for the feedback
Lmao I wanted one of these but they are si tall and I’m only 5'6. I’m pretty screwed, is it possible to lower the seat?
What car records the off the bike view
If you ever get a chance to try out the ktm 125 exc with sumo tires, pls try it. It’s so fun since the power comes only whem you are at the high rpm. And damm does it wheelie! Great video btw👍🏼
Knew tank cg 125 new flat mod seat and wow ,smile all day while on it,,any one else think so it does look a bit kiddy died to look at but fast small. Buckets of fun aswell
Got one of these about 2 weeks ago. So much fun.
Gonna get one in a few months, riding a 1000cc sport bike everyday is fun but not economical lol
@@NudaMan you won't regret it.
Hey what model you got
@@Myphor2003 I have 2020 smcr and 2021 enduro. Both are great bikes.
I have a klr650 supermoto modded out and its the perfect all around bike
SN95 Brock compared to what
Wr450f and Also a drz400sm for a lil
Can we get an update on the mt09 sp?
Try the KTM 500 exc-f dual sport
Yas finally the supermoto that everyone should try
its ugly though
@@darwins1 its beautiful
I have a 01 KTM LC4 640 supermoto and once I saw that LC4 badge, I'm instantly diggin it. Just not the price lol
You got a great bike. I loved mine. The old LC4's are holding their value too. Pretty much the same price now as when I bought mine like 10 years ago, but harder to find.
@@starfox_wr-45e93 Mines pretty shit, cant afford to get it fixed but I believe you lol
I had two LC4’s they are fantastic bikes, but if you ride one of theses you’ll be hooked. Worth every penny. I’m over the moon with mine. Looks wise the Lc4 👌
Needs a pipe and power commander. And a seat concepts comfort seat.
damn i want this bike so much
When are you riding the 790 adventure??
I have recently put my 2 other bikes up for sale after buying a 701 enduro model and converting it to supermoto. Its plenty for my wheelie shenanigans;) :)
Do you film this ride twice? Once with camera car and one without? It boggles my mind with the transitions essentially hiding a camera car.
American people testing supermotos on straight roads hahaha
When are you doing a first ride of the 2019 Honda cbr 650r?
great bikes..i got an 2008 690sm years ago
Was thinking of getting the husky 701 but now this is out I’m stuck. You should do a review between the two. I know they are both owned from KTM but just wanna see what the difference is between the two.
William Orellana biggest difference is electronics package. The 690 has auto blipper and quick shifter 701 does not. I believe the 690 has a slightly higher gas tank as well other then that they are essentially the same bike d same engine. But I have been told the 701 is smoother then the 690
Try to get a ride on a Honda CB650r! That would be awesome
YESSS
Get yo nuts on the tank son. Well I guess the tank is in the rear so yea I guess sit wherever
Are smr supermoto street legal?
You’re better off buying the Enduro R and buying a set of SMC rims. Then you have the best of both worlds. The SMC is not convertible like the Enduro. Did that with my 2016 and I love it. 15 minute swap from SMC to Enduro. Oh and get a Wings exhaust, seat concepts seat, Scott’s Damper.
15 min? With the kickstand swap, chain adjust etc its a 1hr job for me.
sorry for all the comments but as i'm watching through your video you're just saying everything i want to hear, very convincing
Do a first ride on the 701!
Is this good as a first bike?
You should be sitting way up front. It puts your body in the center of the bike. Sitting back on the seat allows dramatic weight transfer. In motocross, it's used to change the weight from balanced to rear and increase the traction through burms, etc. Sitting back will also cause you to wheelie easier. You'd likely have a better experience overall sitting forward on the seat.
I have the 2018 Enduro R (same bike more or less minus electronics and SM wheels) and the biggest complaint is false neutrals. that said, you get used to it after it scares you the first half dozen times. But it's a total hoot. Like you i don't really go off-road so i am thinking of ordering the kit to convert it to SM. Other than that, no complaints and I'm pretty fortunate it to have it. As you mentioned in your video, it is my "everything" bike...
except for the fact that i am admittedly nervous as hell about learning to wheelie on it...
From the little I did wheelies felt good and controllable.
I haven't seen a 690 that doesn't have an Akrapovic exhaust. It unlocks a few more ponies and sounds incredible.
Wings is the pipe to get -
Please do a first ride about the 701 and tell us your favorite of these 2 bikes
if he does that im gonna laugh so hard
Dude it's the same bike
@@lenardgor no, the 701 is great but the new 690 is better. the old 690 was the same though
@@devonanderson6895 well the 701 will get the gen 6 engine too so yeah if u say it that way its correct
If its better thats a other story in my opinion its not an engine that belongs in a street supermoto. They made it a dweeb bike.
@@lenardgor fair. If you wanna talk about engines that shouldn't be in a supermoto, let's talk about what Ducati is doing lol. It would be cool if ktm just took the 500excf motor and made it more reliable with similar service intervals to the 690. But that's a whole different thing
very fun video, very fun watch!
what jacket are you wearing in video? looking to buy
Wings exhaust fixes sound/looks for about $500. Spartan dash I got over in about two minutes. Hopefully KTM Powerparts will have a Comfort Seat our soon. "Just send it." and grin all day. It will do 80 mph on highways easily too.
Same on the dash! Once you learn a bike you don't look at that shit anyways. Only thing that would have been nice is a fuel gauge instead of a gas light. Just got my credit cards paid off and going to the dealer next month for one!
Jamie Harvey Seat Concepts has several seat options.
lmao the dash is like from 1960s, one of the hardest seats are there and very high up sitting, there is options for aftermarket seats also like seat concepts, and come on KTM by now you would expect a freaking gear indicator but no they had to use a way smaller dash lol nice review obviously very quiet with that stock can definitely worth a aftermarket exhaust
12:28 thats a 2cyl engine. Easier to get smooth since it is a smoother engine
a 701 Husky first ride needs to happen!
hey chase ! why no 60 fps ???
