2026 SWM Gran Milano 500

Modern classic roadster with A2-compatible twin engine combining retro styling and everyday punch

Price: €4,990 + additional costs

The Gran Milano 500 is the classic “just hop on and ride” roadster: slim ergonomics, relaxed seating position, and a twin-cylinder engine that delivers smooth, no-drama power. The 494 cc twin has a pleasantly direct response, builds its drive primarily from the midrange, and remains easy to control.

In twisty sections, the SWM feels neutral, turns in willingly, and feels lighter than its weight suggests. The brakes deliver a clear bite and match the bike’s straightforward character.

Direct competitors include the Honda CB500, Kawasaki Z500, and Yamaha MT-03. The Honda is the most modern and precise but more expensive. The Kawasaki is easy to ride but less classic in appearance. The Yamaha is a typical naked bike—mainstream and lacking retro character.

Within the Gran Milano lineup, differences are mainly cosmetic, with the core package remaining unchanged.
