2017 SWM Gran Milano 440 Café Racer
The best value model in the new SWM retro range is definitely the Gran Milano cafe racer. It comes with Brembo brakes, fully adjustable suspension and a better quality finish.
It has a 445.3cc single-cylinder engine and is a very stylish model with the better brakes and suspension.
It compares very favourably with the Royal Enfield Continental GT and the Yamaha SR400.
Despite being a cafe racer with clip-on bars, it has a quite comfortable riding position.The triple clamp is set high and the seat relatively low so you don’t have to uncomfortably crouch over. Unlike many cafe racers, the bars also don’t bang into the tank, so you have a good turning circle and won’t crush your thumbs on the tank.
The Gran Milano feels a little smaller than the other SWM retro models, because the contoured seat pushes you forward. That slots you into the big 22.5-litre tank which has scoops for your knees. The seat is quite comfortable for long stints of riding. And if you ride until that big tank runs out of fuel it will be several hours!
Styling is very retro cafe racer with a short front fender, twin shocks, round headlight, twin instrument pods, short mirrors, rear seat cowl and wire wheels.
The exhaust pipe is swept up higher than on most cafe racers but it creates a sporty look. It has an absolutely awesome sound. Not wicked loud, but with a deep thump. Even with the standard pipes, it still sounds like a bigger engine than a single.
The air and oil-cooled, four-stroke, SOHC, four-valve, fuel-injected engine has 22.4kW of power (30hp) and 35.8Nm of torque at 5300 revs. The Gran Milano engine loves to spin between 4000 and 6000 revs for most duties.
The Gran Milano features adjustable front and rear suspension for fast and slow rebound and compression damping and adjustable preload rear shocks with piggy back reserves.
The brakes are Brembo calipers on a single 320mm petal front disc which is quite effective for a 145kg (dry) bike. They have good feel and plenty of initial bite.
