https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-reviews/gasgas-sm-700-es-700-first-ride-2022/Since the group that owns KTM and Husqvarna purchased GasGas, the Spanish brand has undergone a full relaunch with a clear message: GasGas bikes are all about having fun. That fun now extends to street models with the new SM 700 supermoto and ES 700 dual sport. For those in the US, you’ll have to wait until 2023 for that fun.
SM 700: The Hooligan Streetbike
The SM 700 is the kind of bike that makes good behavior impossible, a proper bad influence on everyone. With a claimed 74 hp in a sub-330-pound bike, it feels more alive and more playful than any other streetbike that comes to mind. Supermoto purists may find it a little heavy, but the payback is a bike that can be ridden daily without spending every other evening changing the oil and filter. For riders coming from anywhere else in the motorcycle circus, it’s light, flickable, and a whole ton of fun.
There’s an old, old discussion about riding middleweight 600cc sportbikes versus their 1,000cc open-class counterparts, how the lighter ride lets you really work the bike hard and use its capabilities to their limits. The SM 700 takes that principle a step further.
On the right road, with enough bumps and tight turns, you’d be hard-pressed to keep up on any sportbike. Its combination of lightweight chassis, punchy engine, and supple suspension lets you wind around impossible turns and charge bumpy sections in a way that would have a sportbike shaking its bars in protest and leaving its rider in need of months of physical therapy to realign their spine. Get on a faster, smoother road and the SM’s advantage soon disappears, but it still has enough power to be fun, and real-world roads usually aren’t that smooth anyway. Plus, if your domain is faster roads and highways, both the SM and ES 700 have adjustable triple clamps so the fork offset can be tweaked for a calmer ride.
