La Husqvarna 701 Supermoto a été introduite en 2016, construite autour du même moteur monocylindre hautes performances de 693 cm3 que celui de la KTM 690 Duke, reflétant le partenariat étroit entre les deux marques au sein du groupe Pierer Mobility. Elle a rapidement gagné en popularité grâce à son châssis léger, à sa suspension WP haut de gamme et à son style supermotard agressif, se positionnant comme l'une des motos de rue monocylindre les plus performantes du marché. Au fil des ans, il a fait l'objet de mises à jour progressives, notamment de conformité à la norme Euro 5 et d'améliorations électroniques, consolidant ainsi sa réputation de référence dans le segment des monocylindres performants.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
LC4 Engine Longevity
The 692cc single-cylinder LC4 engine is proven and robust, but requires valve checks every 15,000 km — skipping this service is the most common cause of costly damage on used examples.
Strong Resale Value
The 701 Supermoto holds its value exceptionally well due to limited production numbers and strong demand, often retaining 75-85% of its value after two years.
Watch the Fuel Pump
Early 2016-2018 models had known fuel pump failures that could leave you stranded — verify the pump has been updated or replaced before buying a pre-2019 bike.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The best fun-per-pound supermoto you can buy used today."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe 701 Supermoto is genuinely one of the most entertaining bikes you can buy used, but go in with eyes open. It's essentially a KTM 690 Duke wearing Swedish clothes — same LC4 690cc single, same character, same quirks. That motor pulls hard from low revs and sounds absolutely savage with an aftermarket pipe, but it vibrates like a washing machine on spin cycle above 5,500rpm. Your hands will tingle after an hour on motorways. Budget for that. Check the valve clearances religiously — they're due every 15,000km and previous owners frequently skip them. Also inspect the subframe for cracks around the rear footpeg mounts, it's a known weak point on bikes that've seen any spirited riding. The WP suspension is genuinely excellent for road use once set up properly. Buy a good one and you'll grin every single time you ride it. It rewards commitment and punishes laziness — corner entry requires precision but the reward is addictive. Just stick to sub-30,000km examples with service history and you're golden.
