SWM SM 125 R 2018

Fans of 125cc supermotos who place a lot of value on great looks are in the right place with the SWM SM 125 R. The former Husqvarnas shine with pretty details like their red frame and definitely stand out from the crowd at the car park. You have to make concessions when it comes to responsiveness, which makes for high load change reactions in the apex of the bend. On the other hand, the SWM has the best brakes in the A1 supermoto segment, even if the CBS braking system prevents drifts on corner entry.
