701 Supermoto (MY2026)

The 701 Supermoto is a 693 cc liquid-cooled single making 79 hp and 54 lb-ft, hung in a steel trellis frame and rolling on 17-inch street rubber, 120/70 front and 160/60 rear. Suspension is adjustable at both ends, ground clearance is a huge 9.3 in (237 mm), and the geometry is set up to be leaned over further than most riders will ever ask for. What keeps it civil on public roads is the electronics: cornering ABS, traction control and selectable ride modes, plus a TFT dash with navigation and phone pairing. The LC4 engine underneath is the same platform the Enduro version in the family uses.

On the road it behaves like a dirt bike that learned manners. Light, tall, quick to change direction, happy to be ridden hard on a tight backroad and just as happy threading through city traffic. It is a rider's bike in the honest sense: aftermarket support runs deep, and owners tend to keep changing things for years. The caveats are the obvious ones. The seat sits at 35.4 in (899 mm), which rules out plenty of people at the first stop sign, and the 3.4 gal (13 L) tank keeps range short. Chain drive means real maintenance. Buy it for the roads you love, not the miles between them.
