I threw the link up to the translated page cos I reckon not everyone can read Italian. http://translate.google.com/transla...orna-un-marchio-mitico-moto-60172&prev=search Also reference this thread http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/sh...tm-husqvarnas-varese-plant.44020/#post-447959
Thxs ... Can't quite grasp it all just yet, but it's gotta be a good thing ... Where before there was a Husqvarna, born on the lake the new SWM. The author of the return of one of the most famous brands of regularity is the engineer Ampelio Macchi, who worked at Cagiva and Aprilia. -- Never heard of a SWM but I'm getting some good vibes now towards it .. Seems like a slow slug saga here but again, maybe next yr is the yr we see something? The style of the new bike is by Raffaele Zaccagnini who worked with me for many years in both Cagiva, Aprilia is that Husqvarna. I gave him the opportunity to return to the field of motorcycle. He has made all the style off road and is designing the new 125, 250 and 340 the bike enduro and cross patterns that are ready to EICMA 2015.
This sounds very interesting and the first actual words speaking to the new motors that were being developed when the business was sold.
Yes, SWM is coming back Direct link http://www.motociclismo.it/swm-a-eicma-2014-torna-un-marchio-mitico-moto-60172&prev=search I'd hazard to say that we will not, in fact (as has been said before) have "one less choice," we will have two more choices (SWM and GasGas using Italian Husky engines)
enduro bikes from back in the day in italia are refferred to as moto regolarita' kind of loose translation of time trials bikes, regulated time racers---todays enduro Troy knows SWM as do I , in 1984 I rode an SWM 125 in Sicily I think it was a rotax engine on it or maybe a sachs this is exactly what I have been hoping for another italian rebirth of a name, like Aspes Accosato but hell SWM is perfect!!! esse Vu emmme Ray you need to dive in and do an italian regolarita search they had mega small house brands over there http://www.moto.it/moto-epoca/swm/index.html?msg=5725866http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWM_(motorcycles)
PS I forgot so I had to look it up but knew SWM was a goofy name--- Speedy Working Motors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWM_(motorcycles)
http://www.moto.it/moto-epoca/swm/index.html?msg=5714403 with rotax power same engine base as the 406 ATK
Those WIKI and Moto-it links were pretty cool ... Still pondering the Speedy bikes ... Even when they are static on the page, they say so much ..
Interesting. Just a while ago, Fantic Motor was owner of the "SWM" name. See their SWM cherry dirttrack concept bike. r
That was quick ... Reminds me that I already have one of those ... Whats the cost for the red-framed one?
speedy working motors that is funny but shame on u bob for miss informing those less seasoned then you and i SWM stands for Sammy Wayne Miller yes he's alive n well and a brit he got it done back in the day with guys like Martin Lampkin Malcolm Rothmell and Mick Andrews
Well im all spunup now im glad to see this man i hope they build a 2T i was just looking at the pixs looks like they used sach's motors early on and rotax motors later now i gotta go back too all those links cuz i saw ATK 406 thats a 2T
Looks like 310 w/new starter and oil line routing and right side exhaust routing.... But caption says 125.
