I have no interest in wheelies or anything like that.
No wheelies?

Then buy that slow boring Honda, it will outlast the Husky anyway and your grandchildren will still use it.
So, that's settled then, glad I could help.
The Husky though is tall yes, but geewizz it looks good hey?
It also forks off in a manner unbeknown to you considering your last biking experience because it most literally is a hooligan bike, it urges you relentlessly to open that throttle and let it rip!
I know, I have one, my first KTM in fact.
And I wasn't a fan of orange, their owners to blame due to bragging all the time...

But, very slowly however undeniably I may just have become a bitofafan now - se be warned, do NOT buy that Husky!
Do not even take into consideration that you've got little recent biking experience so you'll have to re-learn what a bike is, and what it can do.
I remember I did that by controlling the throttle, easy did it... but that was long ago, the current generations rely on electronics to keep them safe.
This 701 has little of that, just ABS and FI, so only a brain will keep you safe.
Got one?
If yes then you will see that your question is a bit silly eh?
A nighonnew 701 for a bargain is too good to pass up on, and I most certainly would pounce on such an occasion.
But for you, I'd recommend to buy that 250 which will feel powerful and exiting to you ..... for say two days of riding.
Then you'll regret not getting that 701 - which by that time has a new owner, you also know that.
Anything else I can help with?
