Okay I know it is not a race bike but it is a competition motorcycle, and a street bike it is not! It is a 1985 SWM mono shock trials bike. It runs just fine but is well used. I rode it in competitive trials and the guy I swapped a bike for it did as well. It has been sitting for a number of years and consequently the tires are cracked but I just rode it over a car at school a week ago and it did it just fine! I have found out it is one of five in the world as SWM went bankrupt in 1985 and a friend of an engineer did the mono shock conversion to them. the guy in England that I spoke to was very surprised to see that one of them had ended up here in Canada. He seemed to think it was probably the only one to make it "over the pond". It is in reasonable shape for it's age I was told that it would be worth about 2,500 pounds so if I got $3,000.00 for it I would be happy. I ride a vintage road racer not a trials bike so belly up and add a real cool vintage bike to your collection.
