Title: SWM 370
Post by: bigk on November 07, 2011, 02:38:24 pm

Just purcahsed a nice 1980 SWM 370GS from good old USA, should have it in the new year. I bought it because I liked the look of it and have a passion for the "not so usual". Can anyone tell me what to expect with regards to performance & handlling?
Cheers,

The photo's Paul posted for me are the actual bike. It's un-restored and comes with the original chin guard & purchase invoice. How do they go?

They go good. Swingarm could stand to be a bit longer. You can come riding with Gunny and me now! Is that the one from Marks?

Yep, nice guy. He has another '80 370 which he races and a 440 with an alloy swingarm as well. They too are for sale. If anyone wants the contact details, let me know.
