Technical Overview
2016 SWM SM 650 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2016 SWM SM 650 R super motard motorcycle, SWM relies on a 599.8 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.1 x 76.5 mm (3.9 x 3.0 inches).
On the scales, the SM 650 R measures 147 kg (324 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
