    Over here the SM500R is $10k on road (with a free Arrow slip on), the RS similar deal... a 2017 FE501 new is $15.5k on road, an unsold showroom stock 2016 FE501 is $12.5k on road. Sure the SWM is an old design but $2,500-5,000 buy a lot of tyres, oil, suspension, track days etc.

    Racemx is talking about here though. Its 9k and a husky is about 10.5. With the deals that happen they are about the same price. Originally the SWM was going to be 7500-8k. Not to mention we still can't get one. The price has jumped quite a bit while waiting. If the SWM and 501 are even close to the same price, 501 it is. There's no denying that the 501 is a much better bike and with the price about the same...

    That’s my point landofmotards..... apples to apples for 9k I’ll take the 501 every time..... I was very interested at 7500 and less at 8k but out at 9k

    They say at SWM/US FB $8500 for RS500R (plus ORC).. So I am guessing the SuperDual would be ~10k for stripper + $1,200 for GT pack, going by the EU pricing.

    IMHO even $8500 is a bit there for essentially trail bike as it has close ratio tranny and short oil intervals for DS touring use.

    Haha no doubt. SWM is the only company that constantly updates a product line it doesn't sell.

    Some people were saying the frame/swingarm were looking like KTM stuff. Heard they're not though so who knows. They do have red Husky rights though just like SWM.

    Whatever they are, they sure sound sweet. The factory GG team bikes at Endurocross looked great and sounded crisp. As a track crew member, you get up close and personal.
