SWM Gran Milano Outlaw 125 2020

The SMW looks very grown-up in all respects, even though it is only powered by a 125cc single-cylinder. But even this makes full use of the maximum 15 hp permitted by law (to be able to ride the SWM with the A1, B111 or, in Germany, B196 licence) and makes the most of the cubic capacity. The fat 41 USD fork and spring preload-adjustable rear stereo struts complete the high-quality impression. The combined braking system takes some getting used to for experienced bikers, but is certainly helpful for beginners. And the scrambler look with many modern features has its own special appeal. All this comes at a price, but if you want to treat yourself to a rock-solid 125, you can't go wrong with the SWM.

Superior equipment, potent engine, good chassis, great display and fun Supermoto mode make not only the heart of 16-year-olds beat faster. The looks polarise, but let the observer clearly recognise the smallest Duke as such. The Duke 125 is not cheap, but it is worth the price.
