A year had gone by fighting, and teventually SWM team made up by Gualtiero Brissoni, Pietro Gagni, Gagni, Attilio Petrogalli and Pier Luigi Rottigni was chosen to represent Italy in the Six Days competition on the Isle of Man (13th / 18th October) competing for the Silver Vase.
Brissoni, Gagni and Petrogalli run for the 100 class, while Rottigni rode his glorious and winning 125, as usual.
This strategy turned out to be winning, in fact the team ended the competition closely-knit; thanks to Brissoni’s 4th ranking, Petrogalli’s 5th ranking and Gagni’s 6th ranking, in the 100 class, and Rottigni’s 3rd ranking in the 125 class, Italy won the Silver Vase.
This was a very prestigious result which turned true a dream born 4 years before, but it could reach the ranking top thanks to a leading role’s persistence and grit.
1975 prize list was enriched further by Gualtiero Brissoni’s 1st ranking in the Cross Italian Championship, class 125cc, under 21.

1976 – Starting from 1976, the “old” Silver Vase powered Sachs, with its old but still efficient 6 gears, were joined by the new 7 gear version, widening the range to the 250 class, which Sachs had never tried before.
According to the needs (off road or cross), a 5, 6 or 7 rations gear could be mounted on this last model.
Already during the first part of the season, the classical and already traditional chromed light, which distinguished the entire production from the very beginning, was replaced by a new integrated plastic system, which contained both the number plate and a small rectangular light.
Among the wide range of changes which distinguished SWM’s evolution, the back fork with rectangular section, remained a firm detail of the SWM’s production, at least for its first six years.
If you compare the plate number, the official bikes seem to be the same as the previous year ones, but we are bound to think the motorbikes had been completely revised and widely updated, and even completely renewed.
The top range consisted in the six-geared Silver Vase series capcaities 100,125,175 cc in the ES and ER versions, with the new Silver Vase 50 produced only in the 50 version with Tfl magnesium Marzocchi gas shock absorbers on the back, and in the seven-geared Silver Vase series powered 125, 175 and 250 cc in both ES and ER versions.
