    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.

      I just bought a KLR 650 2016 in the gray digital camo and I love it. But this is really interesting.
      Trouble is it’s like the end of the world and there’s like no bikes. New or used. And I’ve been buying extra parts just to be ready. And those are starting to get delayed.

      Some of the nicest looking Huskies are the CR500 from 85 and 86......the same for KTM, the 500MX is beautiful.
      A couple years later the Husky based off the Cagiva was really neat.....in fact the Cagiva WMX250 around 1987 to 89 was a weapon.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

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!

    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.

    Yes tire pressure is huge on knobbies. The less knobbie it is, the less freeway speed wobbles show up. I went from a MotoZ desert HT front tire which anything over 60mph was a nightmare. So I swapped out for the very slightly less aggressive MotoZ Adventure tire. Zero wobbles and only slightly less aggressive. And run about 25psi helps too.

    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 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.

    I've seen SWM recommended on lists that include European market bikes, so definitely heard of them. I'd like to see more of these and Husq in the US with more coverage like you just gave them. I feel that dual sports like this really fit an important niche in the US given all the open land we have. Manufacturers just need to advertise them more and get them to us!

    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.
