SWM Australia has announced the introduction of the 2019 model SM 500R. Now equipped with switchable ABS, the new Euro 4 compatible SM 500R is poised to satisfy the increasingly enthusiastic supermoto market.

New graphics, the twin exhaust pipes and 320mm over-size front brake rotor.

 “The new SWM SM 500R is the direct result of customer demand,” stated SWM Australia’s Stephen Tuff. “And just one look at this beast reveals some serious motorised sex appeal so we expect a strong retail reaction to this model. The SWM SM 500R is LAMS approved and can definitely be called upon as a reliable commuter. However, there’s 50 shades of fun to this machine and they can all be found in your application of riding.”

The SWM SM 500R comes with a 12-month/20,000km parts and labour warranty and is priced at  $9,990 (rec retail) plus on road costs.
