Coolest Dual sport that I've NEVER HEARD about 

"they gave permission to drive through the field" *The next day* farmer: yesterday I saw a hooligan ride through my field, you know anything about it? Sean: uhmm..... no?

I absolutely love the design that Husqvarna had pre-KTM. Sad that they changed it completely, but now with SWM I might get one of their bikes.

I have been riding Husqvarna bikes for decades. I would recognize the sound of that engine from a distance. The SWM is the most honest proposal in the dual sport segment. I got to ride both the KTM 690 and the Husqvarna 701 just six days ago. They are both great bikes, but too expensive. I 'd be more than happy with the SWM. Greetings from Greece. P. S. No offense, but you need to work on the Husqvarna pronunciation.

Husqvarna translated becomes ”Housemill” and pronounced ”Huskvarna”. Greetings from Sweden

This is exactly what I rented a couple of years ago to ride around Morocco. Prior to that I wasn't even aware of the brand. It proved to be comfortable, reliable, economical (with a very long range) and very capable on remote Atlas Mountains tracks. Recommend.

Sean, your idea of "words of wisdom" is brilliant and they are AWSOME!!!!!!!

I’m so glad that I will have parts supply for my 2008 Husqvarna TE450 now.

Any bike can be ridden on/off road, it is a matter of how well it handles, how fast will it happen, and how much do you want to keep the bike. Hahahahaha

I have one, it's a great do it all DS bike. Had many Italian Huskys. Recently had a Africa Twin and KTM 790... This bike is more versatile for me as I like to do a lot of back roads and a few trails. Been solid so far.

I think Harley was already in on it long ago. I used to be into flat track racing back 70, 80s. Bikes were Harley 750s But as a life long Desert rider. I would prefer the Honda XR 600. A life lasting motorcycle. I have The last production year bike

My Husqy WR250 was an absolute thriller to ride on the trail, single track, 12hr races. Everything. I would have no qualms about owning any of the SWM machines. Especially the TE. The old TE series were awesome and they don't look like they've changed much. God bless you brothers. ✝️

Looks like it has the same motor as the AJP 600. Looks like a good option. 6 speed and efi, with minimal tech to go wrong.

These SWM bikes fill a really nice spot in the market. I personally have a 2012 Husky TE310 dual sport that is very similar to the RS300r. They're a kick ass bike with very high quality components, a little on the heavy side compared to the current Husky/KTM but for $4k cheaper, its a no brainer if you ask me. I really hope these bikes catch on over here.

Wonder how hard it is to get parts for it here in the US

Love the Bible verses each video Sean, keep on preaching brother.

Glad you are enjoying it for what it is. The barkbusters and double taker mirror are PO additions; also Givi boxes. The rest 100% stock. I have put 13.5k miles through 19 countries on similar SWM Superdual back in 2019. It is in the storage in Asia, cannot get to it because of pandemic.

No you can do 3 people 2 on the seat then 1 on the tank it's fine defo safe 😂

Now that looks like the ultimate all rounder trail/touring bike I’d like. Great review you have my sub from the uk 🇬🇧

Have you ever heard about the AJP PR7? Check it out and let us know what you think of it.

That's one spicy meataball.

Thanks again for your time work and scripture

4:30 also guys don't worry that field is pretty much "dead" until the farmer does something with it. It isn't planted or anything, like a fresh crop

If there's a bike I'd trust to get me back out of the wilderness, it's something made by the Italians. XD SMH

Good to see the name back , would like to see a comparison with the 'new' Kawasaki KLX650 , over mixed road/off-road conditions etc.

Take the givi cases off then take it down the highway, curious if that’s the cause of the wobble? My Tenere 700 will get pretty shaky at above 87+ with the factory (givi) side luggage. And possibly the high fender added? Maybe it lifts and transfers even more weight?

Sean, I think you should become a GPX dealer. Another hidden gem bike that I cant wait to get my hands on. Awesome video!

"Bialbero" means "subtract fifty."

Thanks for the Words Of Wisdom .I can thank My Departed Parents WoW Looks good! . I need to go back to my Roots Riding a 'Dual Sport'.

Very cool that you reviewed these bikes. I had heard about these awhile ago, and that they were essentially identical in most respects to the Cagiva manufactured Husqvarnas. As someone who has owned several of the Italian-made Husky's, it's awesome that they are back in the form of SWM. My 2006 TE610E is hands down the best dual sport I have owned to date. Very capable on and off road, super reliable and bullet proof design. I've been half temped to further dig and see how many parts actually swap right over, since parts availability for my older ride is really the only downside I've run into yet :)

Swm is a good brand here in italy, they make great supermotos, i personaly ride the SWM SM 125R it's a great bike and i've had 0 issues in 2 years of riding and proper care of the machine, but the other types of bikes in their lineup often suffer from rust or stupid issues like sensors going bad or a just little bit of fuel spilled to ruining entire decals. They use some old Husqvarna projects to build their bikes, my swm sm 125r for example shares a lot of parts and is very similar looking to the Husqvarna 510

Love the dual pipes. For once a bike that looks symmetrical mufflerwise.

I've been hoping a local shop will start selling these. I've been watching SWM since they entered the US market. I want one of these bad! If more shops start picking up these bikes, this may be my next dual sport! Planning on getting at least next season out of my DR650 then it will probably be up in the air between the SWM Dual sport or a new KLR... The new KLR's are super sweet too!

When I finally step up from my beloved '07 KLR 650 ... SWM's 650 Superdual is on the top of my list. Hopefully if I do I will remember that there is a sixth gear. lol

This is really nice , now i want one !

Most everyone near Seans' shop in the residential neighborhood, probably knows him, or of his rout for test drives.

I just picked up a 2020 Model a few weeks ago....it is Amazing!!

Sean, I really enjoy your videos, you do an excellent job with putting out good information and in a well presented format, very personable. Keep them coming. I am looking for a good candidate for a motard conversion in a 500+ CC format (I don't want an off the rack Ducati or Aprila), do you think the SWM would fill that bill?

Love my Husky TE630. Same as this bike but stripped down a bit. I would absolutely consider a SWM.

SWM is owned by Chinese company. They are being built in Italy at the former Husqvarna factory, that’s right, but made of Chinese parts, like the engine. Keep that in mind.

If it had a kicker as a back up would be nice. Hey I’m old, had several kick starts over the years. But it’s pretty cool.

Great video but how does this bike stack up to the Honda XR650L and the Suzuki DR650S

myself and 2 other Lancaster County boys had SWM trials bikes in the late 70's and early 80's. were air cooled piston port 2-strokes and pretty decent bikes. kind of a stop-gap measure between Bultaco and Montessa purchases. the one cool thing i do remember about the SWM that i owned was it's model name: Jumbo!

Its NOT Husk a Varna. There is no "a" in the middle. NOT a 4-syllable word. Say it with me: Husk var na

That beast would be a great daily commuter ride

Hey im a fan of the old huskys. Nice review.

Thanks....I've said husk varna 37 times in the last 5 min

Abe Sports Center,Strasburg, Pa. Abe's 80 plus and still rides and wrenchs

I fell in love with this bike when I spotted it at a bike show in 2019. Sadly there is little to no dealer network or I would absolutely own one and prep it for the Trans America Trail. I went with a 2019 KTM 690 Enduro R.

That thing is junk. That's that. 45 yrs off road 150.000 miles in the dirt.

This channel makes this disabled vet want to learn how to ride! Keep it up! God is good.

Except it’s big heavy and tall meaning awkward and if u dump it it’s heavy to pick u and since it’s heavy dumping it will mean more damage

This bike looks great. Sean, I just got my first bike in 45 years. '21 HD SportGlide. I'm floored by this bike. However, I want to thank you for taking the time to honor the Lord God before each ride. I just subscribed but have watched most of your videos. Before my bike got delivered I promised myself to read the Word before I leave. I think of you now each time too! All riders should ask the Lord for His protection. I find myself thanking Him each ride. I find riding a time where I pray a lot. Every rider that rides by.... I'm lifting them up. I feel really strongly about this: we should all take time to just briefly ask God to protect other riders we see. They have no idea I just prayed for them and that's what I love ! We need as much protection as we can get. Praying that everyone commenting here sees some answered prayer. We all have things going on in our lives. All of us have needs. I'm just so thankful to be riding again. I'm thankful to Sean unashamed of his Faith and inspiring me to follow suit. Carry On.

I’ve got to know. Do you always have a Jolly Rancher in your mouth? Love your videos sir.

That is a super cool looking bike!

I only watch for the Bible verses, the riding is ok

The first part of the "Husqvarna" ("husk") is pronounced with an "u" like in the word "you". And it's not "husk-a-varna", it's "husk" and "varna", without any "a" in the middle.

This SWM 600 is my ideal bike... Swap tires with some 80/20 like Shinko 700 or 705s. I WANT SO BAD!!!!!

I miss my Kawasaki KLR 650, very capable on the street, but top heavy with the 6 1/2 gallon fuel tank. A thief stole it when I was out of town, it was locked up with a heavy chain and lock but it was gone when I returned home.

Hey Sean I have a Kawasaki vaquero and I’m looking for a second bike. Something like an adventure bike. Would you suggest this or do you have any others for sale. Please let me know. Thanks,big fan!

Love how easily it pops that front wheel up. Popping the odd wheelie is so tempting when you're riding something that loves to do it :D

Never heard about? I don't know who bought back the brand these days but SWM (Speedy Working Motors) by Pietro Sironi e Fausto Vergani (hence S..V) was founded in the early 70s,in Italy, and was one of the top brands for Enduro motorbikes of those times with Puch/KTM/Husqvarna etc..etc..I've been racing several years with them back then. Check the data records for 70s/80s/90s in World or European Enduro Cahmpionships, Six Days etc..etc.. and you'll find them winning everywhere.

430Lbs is WAY too heavy for off road, my ATK 605 is air-cooled, street legal and 100 lbs lighter! 12" of suspension travel, both front and rear. Much more ground clearance too. My ATK, would blow it away in the dirt, and the street. I'm sure. Rotax engines are bullet proof, and built for high torque power. Comes stock with K&N , Supertrap. Brembo, Pro Taper, & Talon hubs. American made. With the highest quality parts from around the world. Will easily do 100+mph.

If you changed those tires out I bet this would feel much more stable on the highway...

Hey Shaun, I'm trying to find a good way to tow my motorcycle and I saw you use a hitch carrier sometimes. It would be great to see a video on how to properly tie down and use this method of towing.

I love it! This is the only bike that's ever tempted me to sell my tricked out wee strom! Thanks for the great vid - it's not what you ride it's where you're going!

Italian klr

I remember the first Husky’s I ever saw ( around 69 or 70 ) ...Were at the BSA ,Triumph ,Norton , Ducati, Moto Guzzi , Dealership that was next-door to my grandfathers house back home in Illinois.....! I remember the Husqvarna’s that he sold I believe were red and yellow and they were strictly racing dirt bikes ...... I always thought they were so cool because they sounded great but they were two-stroke....! This is a pretty nice Looking and running Dual sport I didn’t catch the price of this particular motorcycle I will watch the video again.....! 🎵👍👍👍🎶🙏. UPDATE..., I just looked up the price of these bikes ...! Holy crap ...! Or should I say “Mamma Mia....!! “ $$$$$$

Can you compare it with drz400 and klr650 both on and off road? Those are probably the most popular dual sports.

its not "husq UH varnuh" YOU EVEN LOOKED UP HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN!!! its 3 syllables

It's basically a Shineray Chinese bike just built in Italy .

It's 2021, and no adult riding on the highway wants to have 38 wheel horsepower and 450 pounds, with a rev ceiling of 6500 rpms. If you change a KLR650/DR650/XR650L to a parallel twin, you get 75 horsepower, a rev ceiling of 11,000 rpms, and smooth as glass highway driving at ANY speed, and trail riding, at any speed, in any gear. Less chain lash from a twin, means you can idle the engine down to 1200 rpms in the woods, and then accelerate cleanly, without shaking the chassis to death. You can literally "crawl" through the woods on a twin, or scream down the highway like a banshee at 10,000 rpms. There is no good reason for single cylinder enduros to exist anymore.

Good ol Pre-KTM acquisition of Husqvarna right there.

talking about engines, "albero" is usually a shaft (in example, "albero motore" = crankshaft). "Bi" stands for "Two", so Bialbero means something like twin shafts or so on. Probably it as two valve command shafts (sorry for the bad translation, I'm not really good with the english tech terms... I'm not good at all with the english, actually 😂)

Those tyres wont be rated for 100 mph , check the speed rating.

You need to review the 500r

i like the bible verses thanks for adding them in 😁

I actually like riding my street and trail on the road more than a normal street bike because the knobs give me such a ridiculous amount of grip I can shred a bit harder and really carve into the curves (edit: mines only a 250 with pretty narrow tires)

saw these a couple of years ago but couldn't find anywhere to pick one up... I understand they are great bikes, especially for the money

This looks to me as an interesting bike. But i would be the best if it woukd weight something like 160-175 kg. That is why i am opting for the CRF300. How does the weighthandling feel ?

Dual sports should come from the factory with 2 set of SM wheels

I hope this brand is successful and keeps making them.

Nope not stock mirrors, those are doubletak and I just checked out SWM's website.

A little better than factory stock tires that are made for dual sport or adventure bikes with greatly improved the highway characteristics, and also making sure your tires are aired up fully to street pressures help a ton as somebody who almost exclusively rides to dualsport

I am convinced I wanted one of these then KTM announced the 490. So Guess I will wait and see if its worth it...

Adjust the suspension for highway and that should make it more firm, I guess.

That is one angry sounding thumper! I love it!

Love your videos bud. But my Mrs pointed out to me the noise you make with your mouth, here i thw uk with call slapping your chops I cant unhear it now. keep it up Mason

Husqvarna Nuda 900r was amazing when Husqvarna was owned by BMW and they produced it

I like it! 🙂

0-60 was fairly impressive

Yeah if I was going to be out in the middle of nowhere on this I'd want a kick start..

my suzuki 644cc is dry 357 LBS and wet 397-. and this is dry 430? ha ha ha. think this is bad joke. you tell not heavy?

You're kind of low on inventory, are you having trouble finding bikes? just curious, cause you guys usually have way more bikes on hand.

So, if i've got it right... you can enjoy offroad madness in jimny but on the way home it is not so good on highway as g-klasse is, so... instead 25.000€, it's better to 450.000€, for that highway part on the way back...right?

Luv the show. Do you think a 1992 yamaha tdm 850 with 40,000 miles on would be ok

I just picked up a CRF300L Rally, and put race tech suspension on it and better off road tires, Love it

430#s.....? That's often quoted as "too heavy" when reviewing the BMW 800 GS ...... wonder why.........

I rode across Oz with 13 riders on various bikes in 2013. Two riders had the RS650R SWM ( with Safari tank and a small screen added). They did pretty well until about 2/3 the way , when one died due to a modification failure ( owner said it was his fault), the other one finished the ride. Two 690 KTMs failed to finished the ride. If I didn't have a fully sorted DRZ400E for adventure riding, this would be my next bike. We have had them in Oz for a few years now and they have a loyal following.

LIke the Proverbs READ...thanks for sharing that.

Video editing is on point, Audio is much much way better. This video here representative of why I started watching SRK Cycles a year ago.
