Hadnt really seen it, but, now i havew, i'm with you on that. Crap format. Wonder if they'll stick with it...

It bombed last week apparently, hence this tweaked format to offer cash alternatives on all the cars, which for me defeats the purpose of sites like RC, if I wanted to gamble for money it's far simpler to sign up for any of the million and one online casinos, the prices being cars or tech or whatever is their whole USP.

Yeah, I agree. i used to buy tickets for things i'd like to own, but now its hard to not go for the big cash alternatives.

Longer run up but with only 5 hours to go there are only 32% of tickets sold, and as they've said they don't start making any profits until 75% ticket sales I reckon the idea has had it's last outing

2024 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto

692cc

ONLY 5 Miles

MOT= NA

Brand New Direct From Dealer – ’74 Plate’

Genuine Husqvarna Tail Tidy

Bringing the pure spirit of Supermoto riding to the street, the powerful, single-cylinder 701 Supermoto delivers unparalleled performance on the asphalt. Featherlight, perfectly balanced, and equipped with the latest electronic rider aids, it is a motorcycle that allows for full customisation and encourages extended ride times. Distinguished by its black and grey livery, the 701 Supermoto creates a commanding presence on the open road.

Engine

The single overhead camshaft, liquid cooled, single cylinder engine features the latest in design and electronic technology. An outstanding maximum power output of 55 kW (74 hp) at 8,000 rpm and torque of 71 Nm at 6,750 rpm leave the rider in no doubt of the performance packed inside this lightweight unit.

Cylinder Head

The compact design of the single overhead camshaft, 4-valve cylinder head features 42 mm intake valves and 34 mm exhaust valves actuated by a robust rocker arm system which delivers precise valve timing at high engine speeds. Ignition is via a dual spark plug layout, each of which has an individual ignition timing control for optimal fuel combustion in the large bore combustion chamber.

Ride-By-Wire Throttle

The Keihin electronic fuel injection system features a 50 mm throttle body with no mechanical linkage to the throttle grip. As the rider twists the throttle open or closed, the throttle valve is electronically controlled by the engine management system (EMS). The EMS continuously compares engine parameters with data from sensors, and adjusts the throttle valve accordingly, resulting in perfect power delivery and throttle response.

Gearbox

The lightweight 6-speed gearbox features an Easy Shift function allowing gears to be seamlessly shifted up or down without using the clutch. The system uses two sensors, one sensor is on the shift arm, which detects the movement on the shift lever rod when the rider upshifts. As the second sensor detects the gear engagement, it matches engine parameters to allow a simple gear change at any RPM or engine load.

Frame

The lightweight trellis frame is made of high-grade chromium-molybdenum steel and developed to ensure precise handling and instil complete confidence. Detailed feedback is transmitted to the rider thanks to precisely calculated torsional rigidity and longitudinal flex.

Polyamide Rear Subframe & Tank

The self-supporting rear subframe with integrated 13 litre fuel tank is perfectly positioned for the best possible weight distribution. Produced in a thermoplastic rotational moulding process, the single-piece construction weighs only 5.2 kg and is made of high-strength polyamide.

WP Suspension (Front)

The WP APEX split fork has 215 mm wheel travel, and features improved damping and an easier setup than traditional forks thanks to the separate damping circuits in the fork legs. The left leg is dedicated to compression damping, while the right fork leg is for rebound damping.

WP Suspension (Rear)

The fully adjustable WP APEX rear shock absorber features rebound damping adjustment as well as a high and low compression damping adjustment. The 250 mm rear wheel travel guarantees perfect control in every condition, be it on tight and twisty mountain roads or in crowded city centres.

Wheels

Black anodised Giant tubeless spoked wheels are lightweight and strong. The 17″ wheels are shod with Continental ContiAttack Supermoto 120/70 and 160/60 tyres front and rear respectively for extraordinarily light handling and exceptional control at all lean angles.

Ride Modes

With a handlebar switch, the power characteristic of the engine can easily be adjusted on the fly through two unique ride modes. Mode 1 offers a sporty throttle response and cornering sensitve traction control, keeping wheel slip and wheelies to a minimum for optimal street riding performance. Mode 2 provides a more aggressive throttle response with reduced traction control, to allow drifts and full control of the slide, aimed at track or unconditional street usage.

Traction Control

The lean-angle sensitive traction control system monitors rear wheel speed and reacts immediately (within milliseconds) if the rotational speed of the rear wheel is disproportionate to the riding situation. The system works by reducing the engine output with a smooth and barely perceivable intervention at the throttle valve, until the system has reduced slippage to an optimum level for the selected ride mode and current lean angle. For riders looking for the full control of their motorcycle, the traction control can also be switched off.

Brakes

A Brembo Monoblock calliper at the front delivers superior stiffness and minimal weight for new levels of Supermoto performance thanks to its aluminium, CNC-machined single-piece construction. Exceptional stopping power with improved brake feel and controllability are available at the rider’s request thanks to the radially mounted 4 piston calliper and Ø 320 mm floating disc at the front, and the single piston calliper, Ø 240 mm floating disc at the rear. The latest cornering sensitive ABS technology from Bosch guarantees maximum safety and total confidence.

Bodywork

Sleek, modern bodywork is ergonomically designed to connect the rider to the motorcycle and allow for unrestricted movement in all situations. The riding experience is further enhanced by the extended seat, which reaches over the radiator shrouds for improved grip and control in tighter corners. Additionally, a USB socket is neatly positioned behind the headlight mask for a convenient and continuous power supply for all navigational devices.

CNC Machined Triple Clamps

The anodised CNC-machined triple clamps are designed for high performance Supermoto needs. Stylishly crafted and engineered with a precise flex, they transmit detailed feedback on the behaviour of the front end to the rider.

Slipper Clutch

The APTC (Adler Power Torque Clutch) from Adler allows for greater speeds going into and coming out of corners by maximising rear wheel grip under hard acceleration as well as preventing rear wheel instability and hopping when braking hard into the apex of a turn. The rider thus enjoys maximum control and perfect down-shifting.

A2 License Compatible

With the specific A2 engine map that limits the power to 30 kW, the 701 SUPERMOTO is suitable for A2 licence holders who crave amazing agility and handling combined with the latest technological innovations.

As this v12 Aventador comes with £10k towards running costs, wouuld you dare take it instead of a cash alternative? Probbaly going to go up in value anyway, but imagine showing off in it for the first few of the summer months!

100% not... lol. I'm not sure i'd take it if the cash value was only 50% of the price

Not even sure I could get in and out of it, but as Mrs Taipan has canned our campervan in europe holiday and i'm going to be stuck here all summer, i might go for it!

LOL that would be the other task... i think i'd get in it... but they may find me there about 4 years later.

How £much is the cash alternative? If it was easy to sell on - quickly - I'd think about taking the car and driving it for a couple of days...but probably not if the cash alternative is reasonable.

If you only want a couple of days it'd probably be more effective to take the cash and then hire something.

They haven't put a cash alternative it on it yet, but its probably £175k or more?

Hmm. Didn't they stop making them in 2022? A lot is going to depend on mileage and spec (and service history etc...might have been somebodies track days car ).

I think one of the best ways to have an occasional day or two in a bit of driving exotica was the club system. Don't know if it's still going but there used to be one where, depending on how big a subscription you paid, you got so many days a year in some rather cars that they had a fleet of. (There was a similar thing with motorbikes locally but they were more 'classics*' than modern things. I think the guy that did it was a compulsive eBay bidder trying to recoup some £ )

* Everything from desirable Ducatis etc to a Panther with sidecar!

Yes, but they are one of the last of the naturally aspirated big CC engined supercars. Later supercars went to less CC but with bi-turbos etc. A good pedigree s/history always helps get top money, but the numbers of these is limited, and the sort of person that has that much cash to buy one, will normally take on any bills regardless. Hard thing to value TBH...

Never fear, the car which replaced the Aventador (the Revuelto) also has a 'kin massive NA V12 Just with a few leccy motors attached too.

Will the extra weight of those electric motors slow it down though?
