Thank goodness I checked out the link. I thought SWM meant single white male and you were using the forum to find a date. Rick

I wondered if anyone would be brave enough to click that link! ..and stop being a hater, Rick.

That's cool. Never heard of that brand before. I like the looks of the AJPs. Why the sudden interest in china bikes?

SWM is Italian. No real interest at all other than the general interest in the niche. As things come across my radar as items of interest for the community, I share it.

Cool.
This is where things get fuzzy for me, and not just for SWM.
"Pricing has not been announced but the company is expected to take advantage of a lower cost of components manufactured in China, which will be shipped to Italy for assembly".
So if the parts are manufactured in China and shipped to Italy and bolted together we can call it "Made in Italy" to make us feel all warm and fuzzy?
Same thing for high quality Japanese vehicles that are made in Japan or Mexico and shipped to America to be bolted together? Are they Made in America?
Seriously, I've always wondered how that all works out?
