Husqvarna 701 Rally - Is this the best ADV bike on the market?

I had a T7 and saw the light. Sold it and bought a 701. I don't think I'll be going for the gearbox at nearly $4000.

Good video Steve, got to love a good 701 build, I very nearly went that way with a 690, but for what I wanted to do my 450 i just built up is maybe 125 kgs dry .

Great to understand Brendan’s ideas on his setup and fuel/ water haul ideas…

Sounds like the yup yup aliens from Sesame Street

I really wan't to hear about the bike but the yip yip was just too much.

Yup, yup, yup….

Love the look of these Husqvarna bikes there so nice

Well sorted 701, yup yup!!!! Thanks for the video.

A friend and I done a whiskey shot every time you said yep , the doc says we should be fully recovered in about 6 months or so😂😂 In all seriousness, very informative video. I’ll be selling the 790R and buying a 690/ 701 soon. Thanks for the vid!!

Yep

Yup…yup

Best bike that can still haul a passenger. This is the motorcycle class we need to see some competition in. The big dual sport class.

Agree on the 200 + kg bikes being “touring”. Too heavy and a liability in hard terrain but some blokes can handle them for sure. Not for me though.

Do any of you ADV guys you camp with use a CPAP device ? Any pro tips if you do?

Yep

Great bike set up. Interesting to hear REALISTIC comments about the off-road accessibility (or otherwise!) of the likes of the T7, 890/901 and Tuareg options.

Yep . Yep . Yep . Yep Yep . Yep . Yep . Yep Yep . Yep . Yep . Yep Yep . Yep . Yep . Yep Yep . Yep . Yep . Yep

Yep yep no good mate

Yup

Watching that guy makes me realize I'm not that fat and unfit 😂😂😂😂

How is the wind protection at highway speeds?

myself + my t7 full tank is still lighter than this guy + his 701 modded rally.

Can i scren shot

Sounded like a couple of blokes having a very informative chat about a highly modified 701 to me, well done, thanks.

Just lads being mates. Yup.

Gday. Whats the fellas name on the 700rr Hard Kits bike? 😮

I know this is an old upload but you over talk the interviewee way too much. Just ask the questions and we shall receive. Other than that, the bikes you present are exactly what we want to here about

Constructive criticism alert. The yup yup yup yup yup made it so incredibly awkward to watch. Ill never know if this video was any good it was too annoying to continue watching. I had to switch off.

Super video.. Great guys

My only observation is; that I’m surprised he actually needed the pannier racks.

Both Mosko and Kriega make great rackless pannier systems. Why add unnecessary weight ?

If you have to make a bike into something else? You bought the wrong bike.

These things are an in between thing, not a dirtbike, not a roadbike. Not that I dont want one.
The wide ratio box is 4K US dollars + labor for splitting the engine. At resale time all this farkle money is gone, a non entity.

Yep.

Yep, yep.

In my 48 I am going to GYM to have the best abilities and experience in adventure/offroad... here I see bellies/boobies talking about adventure motorcycling. I am confused.

I'm gonna get one of those at some point of time
