| Hi Peter, I got one recently after ogling them for years. Now my weather is crap and I don't plan on riding in the rain. I also have telescopes and they say buying one will curse your weather for a while. I wonder if there is a similar curse for scooters? How about a picture of your new ride? |

| Welcome Peter! Enjoy this great forum!!! If you are interested in an excellent scooter club, look for Sky Island Riders in Tucson, AZ. They are on FB too. I am a member although I am too far away to ride often with them! Enjoy your Wing. |

| What an eclectic array of rides. Love that they're all light to mid-weight bikes too. For some reason, I'm attracted to the classic, middle weight, stripped down motorcycles for some reason. Maybe nostalgia? |

| So it appears the 2003, 2009 and 2013 SWing's are all the same colour which by the colour code sticker on my scoot is Code R114CU - Candy Wineberry. I like it! |

It's interesting. I am not sure about Canada, but the European S Wing was offered in different colors than US. Possibly they had actual color "choices" depending on year. I am going to check it out and see what I find. |

| I do know the last year for the SWing to be imported into Canada was 2009. I believe the USA went a few years longer. I don't know about the different color choices ... |

| Hey everybody - well - I've abandoned the SW - It just didn't feel right to sit in that feet-forward position to me. And was a little small for my large frame - 6"2, 280. Yeah it was a powerful and fun scoot - but just never felt right on it. Couldn't get comfy. I guess I'll stick to motor-sickles. Been fun though. So, sold it last night - to a nice chap who has another for his girl. They love them. They will probably be on the forum soon. Ta-ra. |
