It won’t run out of power at highway speeds. The speed limit is 80 mph in Nevada so everyone’s doing 90. I can keep up easily. Last year I rode from Portland Oregon to Tuktoyaktuk and back, that’s 6,000 miles. Only issue was I had to replace the chain to get home.
I just picked up a Husqvarna Norden 901, and I think the 701 Enduro will be the perfect compliment to the middle weight 901. Id love one for riding an hour to the local offroad park and hitting the single track before heading back home. Its crazy that my 2022 Honda CRF300L Rally weighs more than the 701 Enduro with 1/3 the power.
I have the opposite issue with my Honda😂 (2023 CRF450RX) it’s 106kg and 57HP !! But it’s only a 5 speed .. and although it’s incredible on dirt- you can only cover 10 perhaps 15km on tarmac !
It is good enough for highway speeds, it can cruise forever at 80-90 mph and it will reach top speed of 120 mph if the tires allow that. I find it the only "do it all" bike available on the market now. Not talking about KTM 690 and Gas Gas 700 as these are the same thing, just re-branded. That tall windscreen looks like nice improvement for highway but in more technical terrain I think I would be constantly hitting it with my helmet.
Was there in 1995,followed by a trip round the lake to Rofors to the Husaberg factory, where all the ex-Husky engineers went....I still own a Husaberg today!
Thank you soo much 🙏 As I always say, I’m no journalist, I’m a biking enthusiast and a biker for 35 years and just try find the fun and exciting in every bike I ride

One person who actually knows where that is :)
Awesome

Amazingly informative video! Thanks for sharing your opinions.
Love the 701
Amazing ride and review. I was not expecting such an elaborate breakdown. I much prefer this to the standard pick up and bike and see how it does
Thank you so much 🙏

Great review and strengthening the case (if that was needed!). I have a 690 in the US and love it. Unfortunately I don’t live there.
If u ever travel to sweden, u need to go to the husqvarna museum. Were there a few months ago, some really cool old racing bikes there
That sounds awesome 👌

That must have been a phenomenal trip. I still want a Husaberg for my collection. Something unique and really special
Superb review ! Are you in Josie ?
Thank you 🙏. Yes I am
what bag is that you have hanging over the left and right side on the front fairings?
I am sure best review of the 701
Very good

What kind of rear box mount does it have?
Fast enough to get you a ticket but not fast enough to put you in jail. Classic line.
Do a comparison of that vs the 2-stroke Maico 700 from Germany in a Enduro
I might trade my Norden on one. But the seat is kinda high for me. I’ll try it.
I have ktm 690 r enduro 2014 super bike!
Hello. Thanks for this! What’s the windscreen you have on, and how is it holding to the bike? Cheers.
Hi, it is a locally made screen here in South Africa and works amazing and is super sturdy
@@route21garage would want to order one . Is this possible?
@@osmose76
Do you know how to order the windsceen for the 701 from south africa?
I would like to order to.
@@AndreasWassmann you may Want to ask @route21garage
Nice video 👍🏻 One question, what windshield do you use?
Give it some rpm
Hello mister, loved the video! Can u share me the link to the back defense you have in your bike? It looks amazing, see you and have a great week
Back defense?
👍👍
do you know the brand of the fly screen? amazing
I can find out tomorrow as I’m back at bikers warehouse. Will let you know…….
I checked with them and it is a Bikers Warehouse in-house designed and manufactured screen
0:36😊😂
Give that thing to Wade Young to review 😉
Easy way to tell is not an ADV, putting kms on it will mean more frequent servicing, however valve checks are recommended by husqvarna every service
If you’re out front, you don’t have to worry about roosters!
What bags are those on the front two sides of the seat?
