The 701 occupies an uncomfortable niche in that:
- there are definitely much better bikes for me and my use cases
- I can never quite bring myself to seriously consider selling it

I have a 2019 SM. It is the most fun bike I have ever rode. There is nothing like it. One of the best purchases I have ever made.
I have a '17 690
send it
but if you're just doing street, why not get a street bike
I do 250-400 mile loops from home into where the fist 60-80 miles from home are at 75-95mph on freeways...hmm, maybe I do need a 790/890/T7. but man do I hate 400+lb bikes in the desert

For long trips this seat is worth every penny. I have done a couple 200mi rides with this seat and it was great. The stock seat sucks after 20mi.

Yes that’s the only place that has a 2020/21 Husqvarna 701 that I can find.
Was one in PA but that sold so I guess I’ll just scour FB marketplace
Good luck finding any knowledgeable KTM/Husq dealer in the northeast. The only one I've ever heard decent things about is Edelmann's in Troy NY, but my buddy didn't have the best experience with them with his 790.

In CT:
Mo (Makct04) does parts/gear sales at Manchester Honda/KTM/Husky
Noel (Gixerjockey) is sales manager at Colonial Power & Sport in Milford (KTM)
Motorbikes Plus https://www.motorbikesplus.com/ in Portsmouth is where I bought my 701SM and Edlemann sales https://edelmannsales.com/ in NY is where I bought my 300 both did right by me on the pricing of the bikes in my opinion. I get my parts elsewhere for pricing reasons and typically do my own maintenance.
Conn dealer has some coming in the next couple months but will not tell me price via PM
Took mine out for a romp on each of NYE and new year's day. Thing is super fun at all legal speeds.

Other than at NHMS, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate non-ethanol gas without some sort of newfangled app to point me in the right direction. I should give all the puppies some time on a battery tender soon, especially with the cold snap.

You may want to call around to marina's and ask if they have ethanol free gasoline. Due to large tanks, long standing periods, and plenty of moisture to worry about, you really want to avoid ethanol in marine and aviation. The problem with aviation fuel is it's not unleaded. It has lead and it will clog up a cat if you use it. Lots of people use leaded aviation fuel in snowmobiles and other off road equipment.
Send cash... I need a track day
Got the call from the dealer in Conn. that they received 2 701 streets , I put my name down if they got any in which was 6 months ago but wife is in Hospice care which is super expensive so I’m passing on it for the time being
