    Wow I remember SWM from the early 80's Dirt Rider magazines. They made good off road enduro bikes too. Always wondered what happened to them. Big blast from the past for me !

      these are not related to the 80's SWM. they are related to the pre BMW italian Husqvarna's

    If only Suzuki would take some notes and upgrade the DRZ... this is all the upgrades we ask for but of course don’t wanna let go of the bulletproof reliability of the DRZ400SM

      Manjinder, I did a video on the DRZ as well. The DRZ owns the supermoto field in terms of reliability and super low maintenance cost and unfortunately adding any more power would decrease the bikes longevity, but dropping 20lbs would be awesome!

      @@TheMotopologist Yes, that would be something to consider. But Suzuki, from what i've read, should at least add a 6th gear to the supermoto (and the dual-sport version). And dammit Yamaha should have already been made the wr400r!

      ye defo buy a drz . changes would need to be made though . there a bit behind . 1. 500cc , 2. 50-55bhp , 3. 6 speed , 4. lighter , 5. fuel injection , 6. alloy chassis , 7. upgraded electrics ( lights and clocks etc etc ) , 8. larger fuel tank , and a few other things . reliiblity and performance is the key .

    Hi, is it 55hp with stock exhaust too? I saw that this is a euro 4 exhaust stock and maybe it make the bike slower?

    Hi! The bike have 34hp and 35Nm at 4500rpm. Where you get 55hp info? Any kit or engine modification?

    Every how many miles do you change the oil on this bike?

  • @jeffestrada6857
    @jeffestrada6857 4 роки тому +4

    Do you know for a fact that the critical engine components are not made in China? Yes it may be a lot cheaper thrn it’s competition but with low quality critical parts in manufacture means a couple years down the track it may not be so reliable.
    Any current owners please comment or chime in? I am interested in this bike for enduro riding not for super moto. Just as it is designed for.
    Hope to hear back soon from current owners of the latest SWM RS500.
    Cheers

      SWM here in Australia are absolutely hopeless. I emailed and called many times looking for information and to see the bike in the flesh. No return emails no return calls no information to read. Got sick of it just bought a Husqvarna and extremely happy, even after paying so much more. Shame really as I wanted the SWM but the customer service is atrocious particularly here in the state of Victoria 👎

    Isn't the max speed a bad thing ? I mean if a cops ask you to show you that on the screen, and he see like 150km/h, can he take you to jail for that ?

    • @TheMotopologist
      @TheMotopologist  4 роки тому +3

      150km/h is only 13 km/h over some of the speed limits in Texas.

      No. They have to catch you in the act of breaking the law in order to ticket or charge you for it. It’s how street outlaws and all those people get away with what they do.
