Does anyone have an indication on what the price will be? I was reading CMG's new bike guide and, at the time of publication, they did not have details about the price.

Our sales guy in Amsterdam has been checking them out at his local bike shows. He said they were about 8k euros so maybe between $9-10k USD, or $20k CDN the way the Canadian loonie is headed

Are you talking about the Husqvarna 701 enduro / supermoto or do you mean the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 concept bike (the one that looks like a modern rendition of a cafe racer)?

If it's the 701, I'd expect it to be more or less in line with the cost of the KTM 690 Enduro. MSRP was around 12K for that.

Well, they're all 701s but yes, the 701 Enduro is actually a $300 premium over the KTM 690 but it offers 25mm taller suspension (275mm vs 250mm), greater fuel capacity by 1.5 litres and their "anti-hop clutch".

And the 701 has no tachometer! Is the 701's anti hop clutch the same as the 690E's slipper clutch?

Yes, same clutch as the KTM 690.
