@gts455 - Just read (you wrote weeks ago!) that you're thinking of a Husky 701. They look like pretty nice bikes!
Some 5 years ago, I bought a 2006 Husky SMR450 from an internet auction. It was cheap and seemingly nobody wanted it
@MakisRC51 doesn't like them, having been a Husqvarna mechanic in earlier years. He warned me to expect reliability issues.
Aside from a broken side-stand bracket (The previous owner put his weight on it, I guess), a gunked up (flat-slide Mikuni) carb (from lack of use?), and a terrible inlet insulator / manifold design (which I've replaced with a strong after-market one), it's been great for about 4 years so far. It's the bike I use most. It's entertaining for town use, being tall and light and enough fun to not be boring, yet not so big I feel it's too much for town use. Does sometimes lift the front wheel slightly under hard acceleration off the lights & will pull wheelies, if that's something you enjoy, but won't unless you make it do.
I'm sure the 701will be heavier, but it seems similar, albeit more powerful too. The 701 did pique my interest when it first came out, just not at several times the price...
If you see a 450SMR, go check it out and I expect you'd probably want to buy if it's unmolested and of low mileage. It'll never lose value and would be inexpensive. It's not a bike on most people's radar.
They come with cool things like floating Brembos (incl rear disc), radial master cylinder, Marzocchi forks, Sachs remote reservoir shock, high revving engine, dry sump (A little over 1L oil capacity), etc. Pre 2006 they had weak valve stems. From 2007 they got fuel injection.
The 450 is also available as a 510SMR too, but the extra stroke length makes it less revvy and no faster, apparently - just a little more torque. Some prefer the 450 for this reason.
These are actually motard race bikes with lights and only weigh 106 kg, IIRC. Feels very light. Brakes are strong & it handles beautifully. Engine is lovely for a single, and revs a lot more than you'd expect it to. Oil changes every 500 miles. Same valve shims as the SP2. Never had to adjust mine yet, in around 1,000 miles a year.
Riders typically like these for motard track-use; I've been tempted to try it on the circuit, but lack of time & self-preservation instincts... Still, they're great town bikes, as long as you won't be sitting in traffic for long (no cooling fan).
Not sure if you'd find a Husaberg motard in the U.S., but they're similarly very light and bags of fun. A friend with some very nice bikes loved his for how bonkers it was, but only for short trips, as he found the narrow seat too uncomfortable.
It was seeing his bike some years ago, that got me interested in a motard like this... Yamaha and other similar-looking bikes aren't the same. Much heavier and less focussed/fun.
HTH.
