February 28, 201511 yr China money has resurrected the SWM name and the company is in an excellent position to build quality Italian bikes aka Cagiva/Husqvarna. Right now they are in the 4t mode in the enduro range but they are posed to get the rights to bmw/husky 2t motors that GG has the rights to now. Those engines are torque machines. With a bit of gear change SWM would have as good of motor as Beta if not better, because of the husky power valve. The rich history of SWM trials heritage and a bit of product demand should encourage the designers at SWM to fab a trials frame. The company is doing the right thing by using the husky factory in Vareese with the husky workers, frame, marzocci/sachs, linked suspension, ect. It's not a stretch to build a trials rig débuting at 300cc's. SWM dealership opportunities in USA will begin for the 2016 model. If they get the 2t motor and build a trials, the world is their oyster.
