    Just bought one of the new series, now renamed Outlaw "Gran Milano" (different graphics, bi-coloured seat, double-rifle single-side exhaust replaced with a a two-sides conic exhausts). After a long research, the best scrambler/tracker out there in that price range, and best value for money. The components on this are just top notch, from suspensions, to brakes, to tyres. Really a well made Italian design.

    Had one of the first SWM Grand Milanos built (very similar to this bike), that was an awesome bike, full of character, great looking, well built, a joy to ride, great handling, great brakes and suspension, enough grunt to be fun, and as you said, simple! Only downside was the large tank of the first few models between theblegs but this one seems to solve it. Would buy another one in a heartbeat!

    I have a 2018 model same tank no abs and I love it, in Australia it’s not really suited for long distances but 400 to 500 klm a day is ok. Nice solid components and motor is a gem. Not many dealers , yet, and not very many accessories on offer like racks etc

    Simple is good for me. The main reason I’m looking to switch the 1000cc bike in for a Honda Rebel or similar. There’s a lot to be said for that. It just works. Oh and once again, congrats to SWM for putting decent tyres on this bike straight out of the factory.

    Hello Both Mash and SWM have parts from Shineray. But there is a big difference. The Mash roll out from Shineray factory ready for the street. SWM instead arrive in Italy at Viandonno (ex Husquarna factory and workers) and there are completed with brakes (Brembo) and others parts. The engin is 445, oil and air cooled as per SWM request.

    Hi I own a Benelli Imperiale 400 and have 1600 miles on the clock from new 01/07/2020. I like the bike very much. I think the headlight is perfect for the blacked out back roads I ride at night. I think the lights seem to be not reviewed much but make a big difference. I like your videos and find them very helpful. Keep up the good work. Thanks

    Nice looking bike but so many of these small 'Chinese' manufacturers about with low output engines. I would worry about parts and reliability and back up. Benelli seems the best option for cost and HP. It's a real shame Triumph don't produce a single along the lines of their 1200 Scramler. I am looking forward to the next RE 650 version. Enjoyed your review though.

      I feel the CB is the safe choice but the dullest. The Fantic is a great bike, well built, getting some up for review in the not too distant future. The SWM is very nice, well built, rides nicely. It would be between those 2 I feel, just comes down to looks preference. The Fantic will be slightly easier on the corners.....
