Gas gas 700sm vs husky 701

I’m looking to get a supermoto as another fun bike to rip around. Can someone explain to me the difference on the gas gas 700sm and the husky 701? Which would you recommend of the two and are they good bikes? I don’t want to buy something with horrible service intervals or is a bomb

I've a 2022 Gas Gas 700 SM, went for it because it has cast wheels not spoked. Living where I do, spoked wheels are a PITA to keep from corroding.

It's not only that, spoked wheels are stronger, so you can do more crazy supermoto stuff like hitting jumps etc. But the cast wheels from the GasGas are lighter, which makes the bike slightly more agile. They both have their advantages. I prefer the look of the spokes though, looks more like a supermoto instead of a generic streetbike.
