Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2020 Husqvarna SM701. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto is a bike that seems to get updates every year. At its core, it’s a supermoto thumper which shares its engine and frame with a KTM sibling (originally the SMC R in 2016, and then the Duke 690 in 2017).
The 2017 engine swap gained twin balance shafts and a higher redline, bumping horsepower up to 74.
In 2019, the Brembo calipers and Bosch ABS were upgraded, and the forks got full adjustability.
This year, Husqvarna went crazy with technology, adding a quickshifter, lean-sensitive traction control and ABS, and ride modes.
As Rennie Scaysbrook summed up in his review of the 2020 701 SM for Cycle News, “if you want a bike with no pretenses other than being an absolute hooligan machine with no real concessions for comfort, long distance riding, or any other practicalities, the 701 is definitely the bike for you.”
The seller of this example (VIN: VBKUSV401LM788320) is the original owner.
He purchased it new approximately five months ago from Vey’s Powersports in El Cajon, California. The odometer shows 153 miles.
Modifications:
Akrapovic exhaust with Power Commander “tuned for complete exhaust set-up.”

The sale includes all original parts and a transferable warranty. The seller states that there are no mechanical or cosmetic issues and that it is “essentially brand new.”
