    Yeah, their Italian website says the 500 makes 38kW yet the pamphlet at the dealers said 42kW

    The SM500R makes me want to sell all my bikes so I can have one.

    i got myself a brand new swm motard 500 few days ago
    before getting it, the dealer took off all limitations on power and it should have almost 51 cv now
    very huge jump ahead compared to my former bike (drz 400 sm Suzuki) and quite a bargain at 6000 euros (it was the last unsold 2016 model, euro 3 emission tag and no ABS, but who the heck cares...........)
    will post my opinions after my first 1000 kms...............first service at 250 as on user manual

    Took the RS500R home. Tires have been changed to Metzeler Karoo3 Dualsport. Nice smooth road feeling. Removed all restricting items, ~52HP.

    Next steps:
    - get handle bar risers as for my height, 186cm, its bit low (2 - 3 cm)
    - design and build a small luggage rack and maybe some larger carrier for travel use
    - potentially changing head light to HID
    ( I am spoiled of on my modified X2)
    - find some other mirrors ( IMO the standard design is horrible)

    Pics will follow ....

    What restrictions does it have? Throttle limiter? ECU? I thought there are no limitations here.
    I wonder because I most likely will get that bike just not yet. My Mrs. would mutilate me if I bought 2 bikes in space of 4 months hah

    Hungry for pictures.....

    p.s. I broke a mirror on my X5 and I replaced them with this one. Very convenient, big and clear. Shake more than the standard ones though, because of the plastic hinges, I guess.

    Good luck with the new bike.
    Karoo 3 good choice of tyres BikerDoc loves them on his BMW.
    With luggage rack on some side racks to take some soft bags, you are good to go.
    Dont forget about a lager horn and with a HID and maybe some well located led sports lights would be nice.
    This type of bike IMO is the way to go for trips in China

    Take a look at the Kawasaki Versys or BMW range of mirrors not going to be cheap but are well made,

    Thanks for the input. A big Horn will be put definetely in my list!
    The mirrors I will check out.

    I also loved the Karoo3 on my GS, but the rear one was done after 4k km. I had too much road percentage during its deployment. However it feels very good.
