RS500 Real-world video blog - Episode 11
Follow along with SWM Brand Ambassador Jubal Brown as he rides and Modifies a RS500 throughout 2021
The SWM RS500 is an extremely versatile motorcycle with incredible potential, and with an MSRP thousands of dollars lower than its competition, its owner will have some extra money leftover than can go to smart mods and fun adventures. To prove it, we gave SWM Brand Ambassador Jubal Brown a lightly-used 2020 RS500 demo bike to play with for 2021. Jubal will be creating some simple grass-roots Vlogs for us over the next 12 months or so as he puts the RS through its paces at dual sport rides, enduro races, high-mountain single track, and more!
This is a LONG Shop-Talk Video with a lot going on as Jubal makes some more mods to the Project RS500 and prepares it for the Idaho City 100 Enduro race at the beginning of June.
