Getting a wr250r dual sport is one of the best decisions I ever made. 2 bikes in 1, ride street and dirt all day. Riding a dual sport in the twisties and the dirt is so fun. You can beat on them and they just keep going. Cheap and easy to work on, cheap to insure and own as well. Dual sports are worth their weight in gold!
Yeah, save money for a dual sport and riding pants, boots, all the gear. All the dual sport adventures I've had in the desert and forests have been 10x more rewarding than street adventures.
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials Here in america the DRZ400 has a carburetor. If you like carbs then that is a great bike, however, the WR has fuel injection which I personally prefer.
I'll never regret buying my Husky 610. I had always been a sportbike guy but I bought one super cheap thinking that I could fix it and sell it for a profit. Sure enough, all I had to do was some carb work and that was it. I couldn't sell it because I fell in love with it. There's nothing like being able to ride down the road, turn off road into a dry creek bed, and then back onto another road.
Hi guys. I’ve always liked the videos you guys did and it’s a shame you stopped as a team. You’re fun guys and very very respectful in personality. Thanks for all your work in the productions. Cheers from Australia
You guys are producing some of the best motorcycle content on RUclips! Thanks for that. Crazy skills too, fun to watch you guys rip it up, even though it always makes me just a little jealous.
Gotta love California. I've done that too! Surfed in the morning in Ventura CA, then went snowboarding in the afternoon... Then that evening I rode my bike to a salsa dancing thing that night :)
+motorcycleguy73 I just bought my 701 Enduro today and it is so much fun I don't even know how to explain it. definitely one of the only bikes of its kind on the road
Cut the cable, trash the DVD and turn on RUclips. Pure entertainment for those who live life. I'm inspired to do a longest day in Idaho vid, water, tarmack, air, dirt and snow. Time to celebrate life. Nice work guys.
I don't know the guys doing the directing , doing story board, and doing the post production work but props to them. These are fun, entertaining and clearly top notch. OTW is first rate! I want Sumo wheels on my KTM now!
As an husqvarna 610 sm, i can say, she works grate off road! no off road tyres required! i love my bike, husqs are grate, and now, with the ktm behind it, i see no limits for them! just we had this 701sm here in brazil! grate vid guys! see ya
I've watched this video so many times to vicariously ride the 701 through you guys. Sold my DRZ400SM and I'm picking up a '17 701 SM this weekend. Can. Not. Wait.
SuperMoto isnt dead by a long shot! Still alive and kicking in a lot of area's! Nor Cal has a couple different groups, So-cal does as well! We are keeping it alive and kicking! Although I havent seen any Husky 701's around yet...
Totally agree with Zack's point. I have the CRF250L and am working diligently to get a SM setup for it, then get a FZ-07 in a year or two. More expensive than just the Husky when all said and done, but the few thousand more gets you a whole lot more motorcycle(s). Anyways, I'm glad a factory supermoto is making It to America.
I bought a 2009 Husky 510 supermoto right when they hit the showroom floors. It had its issues but now that ive seen this 701 it makes me want to take out a second mortgage on my house and buy one!! I rode Painted Cave and E Camino just like you did in this video. (All over the Santa Barbara area really.) Awesome riding with kick ass views. Keep up the good work guys!
11K, how quaint. It has been a few years since this video was made. '23 Husky Enduro owner here soI will speak to that. It was stupid money, and it cost even more to tune it and set it up, but OMG it is the most fun bike I have ever owned. As decent as they run stock, they really run when fed more low end and part throttle fuel via a PC6 with an O2 sensor dongle, and breathing out a proper exhaust, which results in Mega Braap City! Thus fortified the big thumper becomes a totally different animal. Such a naughty bike, with the traction control off it just wants to rip wheelies and terrorize business parks and under construction housing developments. While heavy, these bikes are much lighter than the similar displacement "adventure" bikes, making for a good trail bike as well. Excellent no BS firmly sprung and valved accurate suspension may not be cushy, but it helps in the canyons and off road, allowing it to go faster than advisable. Ya still have to respect physics while in the dirt, while on pavement physics no longer seems to apply. From a purely cost based standpoint the 690/700/701 don't make financial sense, one can buy a lot more pounds of bike per dollar, even from KTM, but that is not the point. The point is what the bikes can do, which is basically everything, if not as well as machines that are biased toward the street or dirt. They are a niche machine, but if one's riding desires fit the high performance premium true 50/50 dual sport niche, ya can't do better than these machines. Most riders want more dirt or street bias, the Enduro model really is a 50/50 bike, which makes these machines not a great fit for most. My 701 is bracketed by a 300 XC and a Super T, so it is a great fit for me, and I am a lucky man.
I recently picked up a used 2009 Yamaha FZ1, and a 2013 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM, both of them for the same price that I will sell my 2015 FJ 09 for this coming summer! And they both came fully stocked with aftermarket parts!
Great review. I was hoping to see you switch both bikes to Timbersled kits. Not a cheap endeavor but a total blast to ride. How about a second episode.
oh man, I return to this video once in a while, watching this makes me feel happy!! I am "oldschool supermoto dude" with a drz400sm + knobbies and I do ski... So much joy in this video!
Hey guys, would it be possible to get a road map of your trip those roads looked epic! I live in San Luis Obispo, so very close to the start of your adventure!
YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST JOBB EVER IN THE WORLD EVER EVRER and i know its not just rididng and having fun i go to film school i know its alot of work with the filming to and i would just love that jobb :O
The photography was exceptional. Is there any shot you didn't get? Drones, camera cars, go pros, hand helds, every terrain, every shot. Also a great review. Good work for all of you! Can I have a job please?
Yes Husky certainly did a great job of developing the platform! It takes a lot of R&D to take a KTM 690 and put some stickers on it (which incidentally fall off). Come on Zack you know this is just a 690! Great episode anyway, and I would have one of those in my garage if I had the $$.
+rahgahnah Is it just me, or did KTM drop the 690 Enduro/SM from their North America website? I guess if they sold both, side by side, people might not want to pay $500 more for the pretend swede? hmm I wonder if they also included the exploding rocker arms feature on the 701...
rahgahnah it's just 200 dollars more expensive cuz it's a new model, when the new ktm 690smcr is released in europe it costs exactly the same or just +200 dollars. Where I live both are identical in pricing. The rocker arm is a fixed problem in teh 2015 ktm 690smcr already as far as i know
+Air Doctor Oh I know what that $200 is for, Husqvarna must have spent a fortune developing the new tach.. oh wait. $11,000 and the bike doesnt even have a tachometer?? I really want to be a fan.. cause the bike rides like a bat out of hell, but COME ON!! Now I know why Zack said you don't have to rev the motor.. because well, its hard to rev it out when you can't see the bloody RPMS.
I love the philosophy....This year i'm trading up from my old carb-equipped FZ1 to a new Tracer 900GT to try to get re-invigorated. Thing is, I'm keeping my old XR650L cuz even an old thumper is still just a hoot to get on and blast around.!
I'm a dirt junkie, ex track junkie. I have a 701 E and a set of SM wheels and kickstand. I swap back and forth, and have enjoyed this bike more than any I've ever owned. Buy one.
I know it's been 8 years. Still, I have a question. In the end you say that you can buy the SM and put larger enduro wheels on it. Are you sure the wheels will hit the body when the suspension is pressed?
You guys have done a lot with the Honda Grom in the past. Will we be seeing a Head 2 Head with the Grom and the newly unveiled Kawasaki Z125 Pro anytime soon?
good job guys , I m from India and far from this type of beautiful roads. but watching you makes me content and satisfied. Plus the background scores in this video is amazing. Keep up the good work as always.
I went to the bike show in Edinburgh yesterday and sat on the 701 and agree with the boys awesome bike but the price is soooo high as well But I still want one
I honestly think you two have the best job in the world !

Lets just take a second to realize how perfect these twos guys's life's are. (Think I sad that right?)
..... these two guys' lives are. (I think I said that right.)
Just do the same. You dont need a yt show lol. Put money in an imvestment account an live of that compound 10%.
I thought there was a hair on my screen
Imagine them being a couple
@@quattro4468 not everyone has that option. Most people don't.

this is the most underrated channel on RUclips!

Top-notch quality video!
This epiode is such a classic! I've rewatched it 5 times.

Man you guys are so aggresive on those bikes, awesome! Also the jump on the beach at the start, Major air!
I'm getting the SM version! Can't wait
Did you ever get it? Also have you ever swapped from street to dirt?
Gotta love California. I've done that too! Surfed in the morning in Ventura CA, then went snowboarding in the afternoon... Then that evening I rode my bike to a salsa dancing thing that night :)
Another great video guys, I have the orange version it's call KTM 690.
So they are the same bikes?
+JodogXMC they're the same but the Husqvarna has the 3 position riding switch standard. But its a 99.9% white KTM even the parts on its say KTM.
+JodogXMC I probably would buy one just to be different in the sea of orange motorcycles
+motorcycleguy73 I like the black version, the 08 690 e. :)

grate vid guys! see ya
Very good review guys, setting the standard and raising the bar high, keep it up!
on two wheels = best motorcycle videos on the net
That downhill wheelie at 3:08 takes too much BALLS to pull off
that jump before swim, was like 7 feet a.k.a watching this in 2021
I've watched this video so many times to vicariously ride the 701 through you guys. Sold my DRZ400SM and I'm picking up a '17 701 SM this weekend. Can. Not. Wait.
Dear Ari, thank you so much for using the words "both" and "each" correctly. It made my day.
SuperMoto isnt dead by a long shot! Still alive and kicking in a lot of area's! Nor Cal has a couple different groups, So-cal does as well! We are keeping it alive and kicking! Although I havent seen any Husky 701's around yet...
1:19 what a jump
We like watching you fall down ?, wrong !!!!.......we like watching you get up after falling down👍🏻.....nice video guys ❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree with Zack's point. I have the CRF250L and am working diligently to get a SM setup for it, then get a FZ-07 in a year or two. More expensive than just the Husky when all said and done, but the few thousand more gets you a whole lot more motorcycle(s). Anyways, I'm glad a factory supermoto is making It to America.
insurance and tax on that too. 250 for SM is waaayyy too slow
Hi-Viz Smiley Um the Google the crf250m. Is it not available is your country?
shoulda got the drz
You simply cannot compare 250 Honda to engines of these. They're completely different animals
I bought a 2009 Husky 510 supermoto right when they hit the showroom floors. It had its issues but now that ive seen this 701 it makes me want to take out a second mortgage on my house and buy one!! I rode Painted Cave and E Camino just like you did in this video. (All over the Santa Barbara area really.) Awesome riding with kick ass views. Keep up the good work guys!
Ryan F 510 is way more sporty its a nice bike both are
Truly a great video. Loved the part where you took the enduro off-road and the supermoto was doing the corners.
Zack and Ari, you guys are awesome.
I love your website and videos, quality-wise and content-wise.
I just wish there were more of them.
I have one of these with both sets of tires and I must say it is the most fun bike I have ever owned! Dyno tuned putting down 70hp at the rear wheel.
You videos just keep getting better! Cheers!
And this is why a 65 year old 1200 sq ft box is 750k in California.
My favorite two men on the web.
1:20 Zacks got hops!
my husband's excuse to take his bike out is "...I got to go. Sweet Bikes!
I wish I could ride like you guys! Great video as always!
Doing this with any bike would be amazing.
Representing the twisties in my hometown! Cheers!
Spenser you rock dude!
i just love this show and you guys! just a jolly time!
Sounds like the best day ever. I need one of these bikes.
