Re: New ADV bike from SWM
I'm happy with my SWM 500 so far-I've taken enough of it apart to know it is essentially a Husqvarna -before BMW fooked Huskies up.
SWM uses Chinese money and an Italian factory to build.
As I said before, all products have globally sourced components - wake up! (thumbs)
A SWM for £3.5 less than a KTM 500 EXC makes sense for most people, let's face it, very few of us can ride a full on Enduro bike to its limit so why pay premium prices?

Got me a bit confused here, do you mean £3.50, £350 or £3500?, if you can show me a SWM500 for £4349 I would be impressedA SWM for £3.5 less than a KTM 500 EXC

SWM 500r is 5699 otr as opposed to 7849 for the equivalent KTM, so its a couple of grand..

Expect SWM prices to creep up year on year as people realise what a very good proposition they are. (thumbs)
