Yes, the price is a bit ridiculous. I actually am looking at getting a new "expensive" bike with a price range up to 10k. As far as parts go, it really depends, but they aren't worse than any other Euro bike. The motor is the same 693cc KTM developed enine that has been around for a while now, just improved over time. It's also the same engine in the 701 Enduro and Supermoto.

The 701 is a sharp looking bike, IMHO. I just don't think it would accommodate me.

Well, I watched a 6ft tall Jay Leno ride it and he looked fine (and stated he was very comfortable. It is bigger than it looks. The bike is made in Austria after all. In fact, most KTM/Husqs fit taller riders better than most.
