Husqvarna 701 Supermoto
The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto was introduced in 2016, built around the same high-performance 692cc single-cylinder engine shared with the KTM 690 SMC R, reflecting the close relationship between the two brands under KTM AG ownership. It was developed as a premium, road-legal supermoto offering sharp handling, a lightweight chassis, and modern electronics including ride-by-wire and multiple riding modes. The 701 Supermoto quickly gained a strong following for its razor-sharp agility, minimalist design, and exceptional power-to-weight ratio, cementing Husqvarna's position in the premium single-cylinder segment.

What Buyers Should Know
KTM Duke 690 Twin
The 701 shares its LC4 690cc single-cylinder engine with the KTM 690 Duke, meaning parts are widely available and mechanics familiar with KTM can easily service it. This platform has been refined over many years, making it one of the more reliable large-displacement singles on the market.
Watch the Valve Intervals
The LC4 engine requires valve checks every 15,000 km — skipping this is a common issue on used examples and can lead to costly repairs. Always verify service history and ask specifically whether valve clearances have been checked.
Strong Resale Value
The 701 Supermoto holds its value exceptionally well due to limited production numbers and strong demand from the supermoto community. Well-maintained examples often sell close to original MSRP even after several years of use.
