    Who's first?
    Someone had to be the guinea pig in the name of testing the 701 Supermoto.

    Lars drew the short straw.

    What's the point of a teaser? The prototype was ugly as hell and they should comfort everyone with the fresh new look lol

    The bike is still ugly. I do admit though the accessories are good looking... A little too much yellow but for items you may wear for a season acceptable. :rolleyes:

    I like it and I'm going to own one! They've smoothed the lines and the front fender balances it out in my eyes. So work yourselves into your hateful little frenzy and I'll be jamming $20's into a gallon jar, all spring, summer and fall! Screw the new snowmobile, I'm going to build some ice tires and go back to riding with the guys on the lake!

    Not really a hateful frenzy at all Norn, its just ugly to most people. You are just proving the old addage there is someone for everyone, even the less pretty ones (there I didn't say ugly...oops). I say if you like it, ride it and enjoy it. I am sure you won't be the only one to buy it so you will be okay.

    Agreed. Am I missing something? I watched the video and they never show the bike enough to get an idea of styling.

    Or Norm could go buy a KTM 690 duke and have one now. Just change the plastics and your set.:p
    JK. I'm sure they'll sell and hopefully the final version will look cool.

    My bent and previously broken bones, can't deal with the locked in position of the 690 Duke. SM is the ticket for me... long flat seat, with sit up and beg riding position, like a dirt bike!:oldman:

    I would love a 690 Enduro. I'd be interesting to see the final Husky Enduro version of the 701. My Super Tenere is awesome but the Enduro would be even better for my type of riding. Hmmmm...

    I bet it will be very good looking in real life. I think the proportions will look better in person.
