SWM are back (Speedy Working Motors)
« on: November 24, 2015, 20:00:20 »
I was looking at these on holiday in Cornwall last month.

St Blazey motocross retail them. Good prices. All Marzocchi/Sachs and Minuki gear

The 650R is based on  KTM engine. Its got indicators,ignition key and fully legal for £5700 plus £150 OTR
http://www.swmmotorcycles.co.uk/     I think they bought the BMW stock of KTMs.

The 440cc bikes are Indian built and £4699-£4999 +£150

I like those. Competition for MASH and a few others.

Why are half the specs in US Imperial though?

Yeah its nice to see a new brand re-emerging. I hope they sell plenty.

When I used to ride trials competitions SWM had some nice bikes and had a good name.

1977-84

The new Suzy Van-Van 200cc should also be a hoot off road and in snow.
I know a main dealer (salesman) who could choose any bike from Yam/Suzuki, but rides a 125 Van Van every day- all year round- and he's in his 60s

I like the matte grey one. :)
