SWM in the USA

We now fully understand how the whole USA certification process affects new model introduction. Recently HD announced 5 new bikes that will be ready for the 2020 model year. There are very few shortcuts in getting a new unit approved. If any engine, gearing, chassis, fuel management, lighting, suspension, braking, controls, or wheel component is changed, each change must undergo and pass USA testing in the usage configuration. Dirt bikes, pretty much no problem, just say they are closed course racing, pay a registration fee and bring'em in.

SWM 2019 in EUROPE

Is that your build or legit 2019 model? Need to ditch the round rotors & get wave type for more pleasing aesthetics

Indeed these are the 19s!!! Headlight looks so much better as do black wheels & front fender along with graphics/plastics. Cool!

is there a list of the dealers in southern california ???

just around the corner.......OK 5-10 minutes away.

SWM RS500Rs (&7795) and SM500Rs ($8495) are in the USA and on their way to new SWM dealers. BTW, We are still looking for new dealers, especially East of the Mississippi. Dealer license required, as they are 50 state legal. East Sales 301-648-9865 - Ralph, West sales 760-949-0941-Jeff. Parts are in stock too. Parts diagrams on-line coming soon. Dealer list on-line coming soon too. www.motomandistributing.com

Is it time to probe the 2 stroke question again yet. Gassers, Beta, Sherco, all hanging in there with carbs. Cmon, do it!

Ive had mine for 18 months now and still love it. Done over 6000km (3600miles) on everything from single trail to open highway. The bike makes me wish I'd bought a te510 years ago.
I hope it's accepted and supported by the USA market.

If you figure out a way to allow custom maps to be uploaded to the ECU let us know, Maya EVO an Advanced have this functionality for aftermarket ECU's but I'm not sure if they've carried it across to the OE version SWM uses.

Base mechanical design of the Ing. Macchi designed DOHC engine were debuted in the 2003 World Enduro championship with Anders Ericcsson winning the championship that year. At that time they (Husqvarna Italia) put out the 250cc version which is the same entire bottom end with a different cyl and head (top end) attached, a way over built 250 DOHC enduro powerplant . I was hoping the RS300R would also be qual for US but the cost vs market for a 300cc DS bike has stopped that model from being sorted. The RS300R is basically a Husky TE310 "big block"from 2010 before the X-Lite 250/310 engine took over.
So we can only hope that all the bugs are worked out by now.
My 2008 TXC450 was very bulletproof and was rebuilt after @ 300hrs of hard riding and racing.
SWM has all new electronics and FI system. Chassis is the base of the 2008 TE/TC/TXC build but is in the 2010 build config, which had minor structural flex changes.
So more than not its basically a 2010 model Husqvarna TE510 with super good price point for a 2019 model machine in this market segment
RS500R $7795 (8K) for a 500cc high quality component filled EU DS machine.
SM500R $8495 (8.5K) for the same in Super Moto configuration.

I noticed one in Simi.

The RS300R/SM300R will be submitted for USA testing in the near future. ETA on approved production models to the USA will be late Winter 2019 or Early Spring 2019. Other than the 9000 mile durability testing which takes 6-8 weeks all other cross-over components from the RS500R are approved.

11.07.18 Moto Man Distributing / SWM Motorcycles USA has just announced the following:
The SD650 X&T models have passed EPA/DOT/CARB testing. We are waiting to receive our "DOT book" which will be the "proof" and include the list of approved specs and required items to import the bikes. We have a production lot scheduled to be produced beginning later this month with USA ETA being very late December 2018 or very early January 2019.

Dealers info is getting posted on the SWM Motorcycles USA Facebook pages upon SWM USA shipping bikes to them. Eventually there will be a list on the webpage.
