I have never heard of this brand before but one of our clients is importing these, look like a fun bike to putt around on.

Subject should have been Gran Milano not scrambler, not a fan of the scrambler style bikes.

According to the website the new 650 model is based off of the Husqvarna TE630, and built in the old Husqvarna factory.

SWM (http://www.swm-motorcycles.it/en/company/about-us/) is owned by Shineray (http://www.shineray.com/) (a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer) they purchased the Husqvarna manufacturing facility in Italy when BMW sold the Husqvarna brand name to KTM.

The former chief engineer (Ampelio Macchi) at Husqvarna is in charge and they are making most bikes based on the old husqvarna engines (watercooled) and chassis and a few new retro bikes based on Chinese Shineray engines (air cooled).

The client that imports these mainly import chinese sourced bikes and atv's so that sort of makes sense .
