It looks good. The older I get the more interested I am in lighter weight bikes. Do they sell any of those SWM bikes in the US?

at 74, light weight is a priority. Take a look at the style/shape of this bike: gorgeous wheels,tank,seat,controls and ask yourself why Yamaha gives us a milktoast SR400, and complains no one is buying. A street bike with a DR650 engine would be at the top of my list.
Leave it to the italians to put style on a small street bike!
cheers!
ps: to answer your question, talk to these guys:

That does appear to be nice, simple bike with all the right features to make it fun to ride.

We get them in New Zealand, but I haven't seen many, there is an agency in Auckland.

What is the relationship between SWM and Macco? That bike is clearly a Macco 400 with lights.

Although there is a strong resemblance.....I don't think that they are the same bike.

I'll believe that is a Sachs engine judging by the finning. Maico used larger fins a little different style. The engine side cover is different around the crank also.
Do a YouTube search for Maico history. They have a good documentry on them.
