2023 HUSQVARNA 701 ENDURO – WINGS EXHAUST – LOW MILES – LOADED – SERVICED
692.7cc LC4 | 74 HP | WP XPLOR Suspension | Brembo Brakes | 21/18 Wheels | ABS | Traction Control | Wings Exhaust | Fresh Gold Chain
Guys, if you're looking for what may be the ultimate do-it-all big-bore dual-sport motorcycle, take a close look at this 2023 Husqvarna 701 Enduro.
The 701 Enduro represents decades of KTM Group development of high-performance, single-cylinder four-stroke motorcycles. At its heart is the legendary 692.7cc LC4 single-cylinder engine, producing a factory-rated 74 horsepower with massive torque throughout the powerband.
Think of it as a big-bore enduro bike with the horsepower and road-going capability to comfortably cover serious mileage.
This is the sweet spot between a lightweight plated dirt bike and a 450–500-pound twin-cylinder adventure motorcycle. At roughly 324 pounds without fuel, the 701 remains light and manageable enough for legitimate off-road riding while having the power, gearing, stability, and serviceability required for long-distance street use.
Whether you're commuting, blasting back roads, exploring New England trails, riding a Backcountry Discovery Route, or building a machine for a cross-country adventure, the 701 Enduro can do virtually all of it.
THE LC4 – 692.7cc OF BIG-BORE SINGLE-CYLINDER PERFORMANCE
The centerpiece of the motorcycle is Husqvarna's incredible 692.7cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected LC4 single-cylinder four-stroke engine.
Factory output is approximately:
74 Horsepower @ 8,000 RPM
73.5 Nm / approximately 54 lb-ft of Torque @ 6,500 RPM
6-Speed Transmission
Ride-By-Wire Throttle
Hydraulic Slipper Clutch
Electric Start
The power delivery is what makes the 701 special. It has considerably longer legs than a traditional 350 or 500cc street-legal enduro and enough highway power to comfortably cover real distance.
Yet when you leave the pavement, it still feels much more like a giant dirt bike than a conventional adventure motorcycle.
That's the magic of the 701.
WP XPLOR 48MM SUSPENSION
Starting at the front, Husqvarna equipped the 701 Enduro with serious off-road hardware.
Up front is a 48mm WP XPLOR inverted fork, backed by a WP XPLOR linkage-mounted rear shock.
This isn't decorative "adventure-style" suspension. The 701 was engineered to be ridden hard off-road.
You get approximately 250mm of suspension travel front and rear, allowing this motorcycle to absorb terrain that would quickly overwhelm many heavier adventure machines.
These motorcycles are capable of everything from gravel roads and fire roads to aggressive trail riding and even motocross-style jumps in the right hands.
21-INCH / 18-INCH D.I.D. DIRTSTAR WHEELS
This is the true Enduro version of the 701 platform, equipped with the proper off-road wheel combination:
21-inch front wheel
18-inch rear wheel
Black D.I.D. DirtStar rims
Spoked construction
It's the wheel setup serious off-road riders want and gives you an enormous selection of dual-sport, adventure, and aggressive off-road tires.
BREMBO BRAKES
Husqvarna didn't cut corners on braking components either.
The 701 Enduro comes equipped with Brembo hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, including a large 300mm front rotor.
Whether you're descending a rocky trail or hauling the bike down from highway speed, the braking hardware is top shelf.
FULL STREET-LEGAL EQUIPMENT
Unlike converting a competition dirt bike for road use, the 701 Enduro was designed from day one as a genuine street-legal motorcycle.
Equipment includes:
-
Headlight
-
Tail light
-
Turn signals
-
Mirrors
-
Digital instrumentation
-
Electric start
-
Multi-function handlebar controls
-
Street-legal charging and electrical system
It's ready to leave your garage, ride the highway to the trails, spend the day off-road, and ride home again.
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
The 701 combines old-school big-single character with modern electronics.
Factory rider technology includes:
-
Two selectable ride modes
-
Lean-angle-sensitive traction control
-
Cornering ABS
-
Selectable/off-road ABS functionality
-
Easy Shift
-
Ride-by-wire throttle
-
Map switch
You can tailor the motorcycle's behavior depending on whether you're riding pavement, gravel, or more technical terrain.
WINGS PERFORMANCE EXHAUST
This particular 701 has already received one of the most desirable upgrades for the platform — a Wings performance slip-on exhaust.
It looks fantastic, saves unnecessary bulk compared with the factory muffler, and gives the LC4 the aggressive exhaust note a big single deserves.
It is also fitted with Wings carbon-fiber heat guards along the exhaust system.
That's a worthwhile upgrade on a bike designed to be ridden standing up and moving around in technical terrain where your riding gear can come into close contact with the exhaust.
ENGINE PROTECTION
This bike is also equipped with an engine/crash protection guard, an accessory we consider almost mandatory for a motorcycle intended for legitimate adventure and off-road use.
It's already installed and ready for the next owner.
CNC FUEL CAP
The rear-mounted fuel tank is one of the clever design elements of the 701 platform.
Rather than carrying the fuel conventionally above the engine, the 701 uses its rear polyamide structure as the fuel tank, helping centralize the motorcycle's mass.
This machine has also been upgraded with a CNC-machined fuel cap, replacing the standard factory piece.
AFTERMARKET LUGGAGE RACK
An aftermarket rear luggage rack has already been installed, making this motorcycle an excellent starting point for a BDR or long-distance adventure build.
Add your preferred soft luggage, camping equipment, GPS, and you're ready to disappear for a weekend—or considerably longer.
ROTTWEILER PERFORMANCE MOUNT
The motorcycle also features a Rottweiler Performance plexi/accessory mount, another useful addition for riders planning navigation or rally-style equipment.
Kaplan Cycles is a Rottweiler Performance dealer, so if the new owner wants to take this build even further, we can assist with additional Rottweiler components, intake upgrades, tuning equipment, rally equipment, and other accessories available for the platform.
RUBBER-MOUNTED CNC HANDLEBAR MOUNTS
Up front you'll also find upgraded rubber-mounted CNC handlebar mounts.
These help isolate some of the vibration inherent to a big-bore single while retaining the direct steering feel you want from an enduro motorcycle.
ADJUSTABLE AFTERMARKET MIRRORS
The factory mirrors have also been replaced with more compact, easily adjustable mirrors.
They're particularly useful when heading off-road because they can be repositioned and tucked closer to the motorcycle instead of leaving large factory mirrors sticking up where they're more vulnerable on technical trails.
BRAND-NEW GOLD DRIVE CHAIN
Here's the Ken Kaplan Sr. touch.
The existing chain didn't necessarily need replacement, but Senior took one look at the motorcycle and said:
"Let's put a fresh gold chain on it for the new owner."
So that's exactly what we did.
This 701 now wears a brand-new premium gold drive chain, approximately a $200 upgrade installed simply because we wanted the motorcycle looking and performing its best when it leaves here.
It looks fantastic against Husqvarna's distinctive chassis and graphics.
BEAUTIFULLY KEPT – VETERAN RIDER OWNED
This bike has approximately 2,500 miles and was recently taken in trade here at Kaplan Cycles.
The previous owner was an experienced, mature rider.
He traded the 701 toward a new Moto Guzzi Stelvio because he wanted something larger and more comfortable for extended riding with his wife.
Take a close look at the photos.
The condition speaks for itself.
The plastics appear remarkably clean, the chassis presents beautifully, and the motorcycle shows the kind of care you hope to find when buying a pre-owned high-performance dual-sport.
This is a genuine cream puff.
COMPLETELY SERVICED AND READY TO RIDE
The motorcycle has been inspected and serviced by the staff here at Kaplan Cycles and is ready for its next owner.
Get on it, hit the starter button, and go have an adventure.
WHY THE 701 ENDURO?
There are lighter street-legal enduros.
There are bigger adventure bikes.
But very few motorcycles combine the capabilities of both categories as successfully as the Husqvarna 701 Enduro.
A 350 or 500-class enduro may have an advantage in extremely tight technical terrain, but the 701 offers substantially more comfort, torque, power, and long-distance capability when the trail opens up or you hit the highway.
At the other end of the spectrum, many large twin-cylinder adventure motorcycles weigh well over 450 pounds.
The 701 gives you serious horsepower without dragging around another hundred-plus pounds of motorcycle.
That's why these bikes have developed such a loyal following.
You can:
Ride it to work Monday through Friday.
Hit the trails Saturday.
Ride a BDR Sunday.
Put luggage on it and head across the country.
Or install a rally setup and turn it into one of the most capable lightweight adventure motorcycles imaginable.
One motorcycle can legitimately do all of it.
HUSQVARNA QUALITY
There are subtle differences between the Husqvarna 701, KTM 690 Enduro R, and related KTM Group platforms, and Husqvarna gave the 701 its own distinctive premium appearance.
From the unique bodywork and wraparound seat design to the beautifully finished frame and Husqvarna-specific lighting and trim, the 701 has a premium European appearance that's unmistakably Husqvarna.
The metallic finish in the chassis looks especially good out in the sunlight.
This is a motorcycle that looks every bit as special as it rides.

Auction platforms = listing only. No support. No accountability.
Kaplan Cycles = we stand behind what we sell.
You are buying museum-curated provenance. That means:
• expert evaluation
• documented condition
• professional presentation
• long-term preservation mindset
You’re not just buying a motorcycle — you’re buying a curated piece of motorcycling history.
From the #1 family in this business — Kaplan Cycles & the New England Motorcycle Museum.
Sincerely,
Ken Kaplan Sr.
