A Husqvarna 701 Supermoto foi lançada em 2016, construída em torno do mesmo motor monocilíndrico de 693 cc de alto desempenho compartilhado com a KTM 690 Duke, refletindo a estreita parceria entre as duas marcas sob o Pierer Mobility Group. Ela rapidamente ganhou muitos seguidores por seu chassi leve, suspensão WP premium e estilo agressivo de supermoto, posicionando-se como uma das motos de supermoto de rua monocilíndricas mais capazes disponíveis. Ao longo dos anos, ela recebeu atualizações incrementais, incluindo conformidade com a Euro 5 e refinamentos eletrônicos, consolidando sua reputação como referência no segmento de desempenho de cilindro único.

O que os compradores devem saber

⚙️

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.

"The best fun-per-pound supermoto you can buy used today."

$6,500-$9,500 used

The 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.
