SWM launches the SM 650 R

Dirt bike DNA meets the road with the new supermotard SWM SM 650 R
If you’re the kind of rider who lives for moto style but yearns for riding on the roads, the SWM SM 650 R could be the answer to your supermotard prayers.

The SWM SM 650 R is the epitome of supermotard with a strong engine mated to quality suspension and brakes. The 600cc four-valve DOHC engine is fed from a 12-litre fuel tank via Mikuni D45 EFI and drives through a six-speed transmission.
"The SM 650 R is a fantastic bike for anyone who loves the look and feel of a bike boasting the basics of dirt bike styling but massaged into a classic, tough-looking street bike," said SWM Australia Brand Manager Stephen Tuff.
"The SM 650 R engine is a proven performer as it’s the same power plant utilized in the RS 650 R dual-purpose machine. It makes big gobs of horsepower that’s a lot of fun to use and the 17-inch wheels let you really make the most of what this bike has to offer on the tar."
The suspension of the SM 650 R comes via 45mm upside-down Marzocchi forks and a Sachs shock holding up the 147kg biket. A large 300mm front  disc operated via Brembo hydraulics takes care of the braking duties up front while a 240mm disc is situated at the rear.
The SWM SM 650 R is available at SWM Australia dealerships mid-February for $9,490 including GST plus on road costs.
