SWM is back

I understand totally! If I had started on Swedish Husky's and continued with Italian Husky's, then I would stick with them also. Norm, you have earned the right to be loyal Husqvarna no matter what, and you will have great bikes!

I should have added, that I bought in... "Lock, stock and barrel". Husky gun history pun intended!

Raced a SWM early 80s had a 370 GS Beast of a thing , Nice to see them back

I just fond this. Interesting read.

"What’s the SWM Centro-style planning direction of the product lines?
The R&D plan follows former developments from the Husqvarna team, they currently consist of the Enduro and Retro Series, but in the future we will be releasing new series’ like Racing, Street and Adventure bikes."

"We will launch the new products one at a time from July 2015 to February 2016 starting with the 300 cc, then 450 cc, 510 cc, 650 cc. in May 2016 we will launch a new 125 cc, in 2018 the 900 cc will be finished In August 2016 we will release a performance 250cc."

They are saying all the right things..... Parts from China compared to parts from India is the only question/debate. KTM signaled all the 390 new bikes will be from India, as well... Polaris signed a deal recently with Eicher who owns Royal Enfield in India so appears these two countries offer the right bang for the buck in the industry.

in May 2016 we will launch a new 125 cc
be interesting to see the price & quality! im slightly aroused!!! theyll need a 250/300 2T to go with the 125 though IMHO or theyre gonna miss easy sales

I like the old Rotax engines. I have a 74 TNT250 in the garage.

I remember the massive number of different manufactures bikes in the pits, Not so much choice now but getting better.

this is Merica Bob speak Merican

Fixed it for ya^^^

que bueno! chistoso

there he go,s again

Found this in a german enduro Magazine yesterday...

Basicly what they said is Zupin Motor Sport will have a SWM Race Team in 2015 and they will develop new bikes during the season.
First new bike will be a 250 and 340 which will be ready for first tests in august/september this year, a 250 4stroke will be ready for 2016.
So they are (re) starting with a former well known (in germany and austria) Husqvarna team.

Zupin has been the biggest Husky dealer for decades... Josef Zupin was a Husky Factory Rider from 1972 - 1978 .
Their team should know best what to do developing new bikes.
With the founds from shineray i m really looking forward seeing SWM growing through the years

i hope SWM takes that old husky motor and bust open a big can of whipass and throws it all over everybody

we ll see ;-)
