Saul Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Went out for a bimble today and was going to go up on Bodmin moor but the weather was pretty awful and so misty you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. So I decided to abort and go into Trago and have a look at their biking section. They only had one on display which was a 445cc SWM branded dirt style bike. I liked the look of it to be honest. Weird branding though as it was labeled a 500cc but called a 6, bit of mixed message there. I did think it looked cool. Water cooled 154kg and claimed 29.5 bhp for £4.5k. Doesn’t seem to bad but it’s all about quality I suppose. If a jap manufacturer produced something like that it would sell by the boat load. There was plenty of biking gear and accessories at Trago, if I had a top box I would probably have spent a few quid. Travelling back along the Glynn valley in atrocious conditions it did make me wonder what I was doing there as that stretch of road is a notorious black spot for accidents. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a good shop there.....I miss going in places like that. Do the SWM's have Chinky engines now? Cos I know they've had funding from China! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I haven't a clue Pete, my mate that never rides his bikes had one for awhile. He rated it but god knows how many miles he did on it, not many I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Just now, XTreme said: It would be a laugh seeing Buck and Six wind him up though! True but I would get the blame and have one less mate to ride with. But then again he never rides if there is going to be rain within 7 days so not much of a loss, he is always good for a cuppa though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
