    Thanks OD glad to see its made official now. To all Pete is a really super nice guy and always a pleasure to deal with and he rides his TE350 single cammer fairly well too!! SWM is a viable option in the DS game bridging the gap between the ultra premium price/component brands (KTM,Husky,BMW) and the lower cost/component brands (Japanese DS models).

    Is SWM doing anything with the WR250/300? Sure would be nice for parts availability down the road.

    We will know more after this week, but we presume that new Husqvarna owns the rights to sell the parts for those machines.

    Would be awesome to see a new race team based upon the new SWM bikes especially when the 340 makes an entrance.

    As far as I know (may be I'm not right) Italian’s enduro chassis is one of the best in the world for enduro-racing. So for me would make no sense that SWM purchase (or copy) chassis to KTM having their own excellent chassis for enduro... that they could even improve a bit if necessary. Weird…

    just a visual look at the small 4 strokes shown- the chassis looks like linkage KTM/husky or similar Beta style.
    the big ones are 100% Red husky looking.

    NEWS FLASH...Pete's trip to the SWM factory has been delayed.......On this past Saturday about 5hrs into the 6hr Iron Man Race at Glen Helen MX Park, Pete encountered two downed back-markers after cresting the blind top to down hill on Mt. Glen Helen. He hit one of the downed bikes and performed the proverbial "flying W" which resulted in a ride to the ER. He has broken his scapula, collar bone, several ribs, and has a punctured lung......the rest are just the typical "oooh I bit the dirt" ramifications that we all have encountered. At this time he labors to have a conversation due to temporary reduced lung function. He will be held in the hospital until they determine that he no longer has fluid leaking into his lung........maybe tomorrow. Anyways, the trip will be rescheduled ASAP. Nothing else has changed.

    Is it just me or those 2T Sachs-engined red SWM's are just utterly gorgeous. Almost as good looking as a Puch-Frigerio !
