The adjusting screws on the sturdy fork only change the damping in homeopathic doses.

Roadster feeling
For friends of classic, robust and manageable technology, SWM has three air-cooled singles in its range. The SWM Gran Turismo 440 offers the best roadster feeling.
Holds for scrambler fans S.WM the Silver Vase 440 ready. Sports fans will get their money’s worth with the Gran Milano 440. The Gran Turismo 440 is aimed at fans of upright locomotion. It is the third member of the SWM Classic Bikes, which is powered by the air-cooled 440 single-cylinder made in China. Technically closely based on the Silver Vase, it comes with a stepped bench and stylish stainless steel exhaust bags. Chrome-plated mudguards and wire-spoke wheels optically round off the classic appearance.

SWM Gran Turismo 440 in the test
Roadster feeling
SWM Gran Turismo 440 brings back memories of classic models à la Triumph Bonneville from the 1970s. High handlebars and notches placed at the front result in an upright sitting position. No later than the second attempt to start, the single reports on the spot and after a few warming-up gas blasts takes gas commands.
Alternating curves are a breeze
The four-valve engine gets down to business quite briskly, although it produces pithy vibrations especially in the second half of the engine speed range, it pleases with decent revving. From 5,000 rpm, it marches tightly up the engine speed range. The engine sounds wonderfully sonorous and powerful, there is a cheeky sputtering when overrun. Thanks to the strong center and good revving, the single-cylinder cuts a fine figure on land trips, especially since the five-speed gearbox can be shifted smoothly and precisely. The last gear, however, is only recommended from around 80 km / h, as the jump between fourth and fifth gear was a bit big and the single in fifth gear rattles on the chain below 3,500 rpm. And at the traffic lights, the best way to find idle is from second gear.
The chassis of the SWM Gran Turismo 440 doesn’t get that much praise. Despite striking handiness. The effort required to change lean angles is ridiculously low, and turning turns is child’s play. The fork, however, was displeasing with its stucky response and high friction, while the shock absorbers are fairly tight in the rebound stage. Which results in an inharmonious line, especially at a brisk pace in curves. But it is definitely enough for a leisurely motorcycle tour. That is closer to the Gran Turismo anyway, especially since the ABS-free brake also grips properly when it is applied for the first time, but requires a firm grip for more powerful deceleration. For friends of air-cooled singles, the SWM could definitely be a likeable alternative. At 5,640 euros, however, it is not a bargain.
