| Just purchased a low mileage (5600) red Swing. New to scoots as I have spent the last 30 years riding Harleys but the old body and old injuries have caught up with me but I have to keep riding. |

Welcome to the forum. You made a good choice, no more shifting and you'll have plenty of power. And best of all, Harley riders will still waive at you on the highways.
Enjoy your Swing!

| Welcome to the best SWing site on the net Cammy. I know that I like to ride my 08 SWing very much. You'll find, after you've ridden it a while, that it will keep up to most any bike on the road. It might not have the get up and go like a "crotch rocket" type but it will do interstate speeds all day without breathing hard.  |

| I am also new to riding the Swing. Riding with the groups around Knoxville I find that I do not ache after a 300 mile ride. You soon forget you're only on a scooter. |

| Cammy, the SWing is the best ride going ! Good bunch of guys and gals here too. I've come across a few Harley riders who only ride on sunny days and run for cover at the slightest hint of rain. No such concern on the SWing: fair cover from the weather and a quick wipe down and you are done.
