2016 SWM Models Coming To Australia

10 years ago

Melbourne-based motorcycle importer, Mojo Motorcycles, has added Italian brand, SWM (Speedy Working Motors), to its burgeoning local portfolio with the first shipment of bikes set to arrive late in 2015.

Mojo Motorcycles Director, Michael Poynton is thrilled about the relaunch of SWM, which utilises Italian-made Husqvarna technology, and believes the model range will sit perfectly in the Australian market. “SWM is a good fit for Mojo Motorcycles,” said Poynton. “We are a relatively young but progressive company and we see the relaunch of SWM bringing a certain amount of energy and excitement to the market.”

“SWM’s blend of heritage and youthfulness backed by solid Italian design and styling will be a formidable combination and we want to share that with Australian motorcyclists,” Poynton continued. “We’re confident the model range will fit the Australian market well and the fact we can offer SWM at affordable price points makes the brand strong right off the bat.”

SWM’s three enduro bikes (the RS300R, RS500R and RS650R) are based heavily off pre-existing Italian-made Husqvarna models, as follows:

  • RS300R based on 2010 TE310 with CDI GET instead of Mikuni, new mapping, a double-exhaust system instead of single, layshaft, cush drive clutch and KYB fork and shock.
  • RS500R based on 2010 TE510 with CDI GET instead of Mikuni, new mapping, a double-exhaust system instead of single, layshaft and KYB fork and shock.
  • RS650R based on 2012 TE630 with CDI GET instead of Mikuni and new mapping.

Two supermoto models and two vintage-style models will also be available.
