| Welcome. Good choice on a new ride looks nice. Much great info. here. New rider doesn't matter we were all new at one time. If you enjoy it it will be a lifetime thing.
Lived in the Springs for 2 years way back. Nice out there. Wasn't a rider then but I want to go back and ride some big hills. |

| I'm jealous. I've never had a brand new cycle other than a bicycle. But my black '08 looks much like yours so I feel a wee bit mollified. I would liked to have ABS brakes on my current SW. I really liked them on a Goldwing, two K100LTs and BMW C650GT scooter I had. ABS can sure take a lot of the worry out of riding on gravel, especially down hill on gravel roads.
Here's hoping you will have many enjoyable miles with few problems and no accidents! |

| Unfortunately I don't have the necessary funds in my wallet. I think I can keep my 2008SW running until I have to hang up my helmet for the last time. |

| He's right Paul, they have brand new 2012 SW's for $5154 plus tax. No other fees. Considering the MSRP was $9270 back in 2012...WOW |

| It's a heck of an opportunity for a bargain no doubt about that. |

| Welcome to the BEST SWing forum on the net Melbel. Lots of great info here.
I should send Sun Ent in Denver an email letting them know that I'd gladly take one of their new SWings off their hands for free but write an evaluation twice a year on what I've done to it and how it stood up and if there are any problems with it. I mean, how GREAT would advertising like that be? |

| Good luck with that one. They do exist a new SW for sale, well no miles anyway. I paid $5300 almost 5 years ago thought it was a good deal and still is. 2013 model. 21k miles now.
Get them while the last!!!! |
