Nice full sized wheel version out here now , it's the SWM Superdual X 600cc GT Pack Adventure.

Strefford's have got one in that I think I need to see in the flesh.... :mrgreen:

Steve.... Read the adv thread the auzzys have had them a while now and the bike has certain problems... Ecu flash needed and well read the huge thread....

I do like the look of the bike though... But too similar to my custom ccm lol

The price--£7,600---now thats a bit close to a Husqvarna 701-which is about a grand more and has had the bugs sorted (arguably). Really too dear IMO.

Exactly what I was thinking. It either needs to be as good as the 701 Huskie or it needs to be a lot cheaper. £1k difference is nothing really to get the 701's much superior handling and grunt.

The SWM looks nice and could make a good modern DR650 (although it needs to shave off about 25kgs really).

At least someone is still thinking that 'adventure' means genuinely going off-road. Otherwise, just buy a sports tourer and get a bike that handles on tarmac properly.
