Italy’s SWM Motorcycles to Make Entry in Nepal with 3 Bike Models

Bikes of Speedy Working Motors (SWM) is expected to arrive in Nepal before the end of May.

People tend to be confused whether SWM motorcycles are manufactured in Italy. If you have the same confusion, first let me clarify that. SWM is an Italian bike company that was founded in 1971 but production ceased in 1984. However, with the help of a Chinese company, the Shineray Group, SWM was resurrected and the development of new bikes began. So basically, SWM motorcycles are manufactured in Italy with the Chinese funding.

SWM bikes are slightly tweaked Husqvarna models. Therefore, SWM bikes are expected to have impressive built quality with engine refinement. SWM bikes are said to be less punchy in low end which makes this bike suitable even for the beginner rider.

According to Sushan Baidhya, director of SWM Motorcycles Nepal, three SWM bike models are expected to hit the road of Nepal before the end of May.

The design of SWM motorcycles are surely distinctive and looks different from the bikes that are currently present in the Nepali market. SWM bikes seem to be eye catchy and are expected to grab attention in the roads of Nepal due to its distinct design of headlight, body and its twin exhaust.

Enduro 300 is dirt variant which somewhat looks similar to Husqvarna model due to its design of headlight. Silver Vase 440cc is a scrambler which tends to have due to its dual exhaust that provides a different look from the rear view. Whereas, Super Duel 650 is an adventure tourer which looks different from all of the adventure tourer available in Nepal because of its unique design of body and headlight.
