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.

SWM Varez 125 2020

The SWM Varez 125 is a sporty A1 motorbike with some strengths and some weaknesses. Its biggest disadvantage is probably its position in the 125cc market. With the Yamaha MT-125, KTM 125 Duke and Honda CB125R, it faces very strong competition. Because of its seat height, the SWM is more suited to taller A1 riders who don't want to go for the usual, ubiquitous brands, but are looking for something rarer. In addition to its rarity, the Varez 125 can also score points when it comes to eating up radii in the corner and in terms of fuel economy.

Taut, yet very sporty, stable chassis

Very smooth handling, falls virtually by itself in lean angles

Low fuel consumption

Very high for an A1 naked bike

Spongy gearbox

No gear indicator

Spongy rear brake

Purely functional instruments and display. Design-wise rather poor.
