Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
SWM SM 500 R 2020
The SM 500R is not a thoroughbred supermoto that only wants to be ridden on the kart track. You can have fun with it there, too, but narrow bends and mountain passes are its home. Thanks to its comfortable seat and pleasant riding position, it is also happy to go on short tours. In addition to the well-known components, SWM also focuses on a reasonable price.
Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2016
The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.
