You will find other Swift bikes on here for a lot less, but if you've ever had an eye for a Swift Custom Motorcycle and care a little bit for their history, like a collector's bike, this is the one you want. This is the first bike built by Swift Custom Motorcycles and features all the upgrades that were offered at the time and then some - show polished engine, 6 speed Baker transmission, 21" custom cut front wheel featuring the Swift logo, 18" chrome solid rear wheel, and Supertrapp 2 into 1 performance exhaust - along with standard features such as a fat 2" frame, 1.5" thick handlebars, 240mm rear tire, speedometer and tachometer integrated into the triple trees, and a 4.5 gallon fuel tank. Oh, and if you notice a little difference even in the overall profile of this one compared to other Punishers, it was built with a 38 degree front rake instead of the production standard 36 degree rake and it seems to make all the difference. It is beautifully cloaked in a Spray Kats of Phoenix custom paint job which entails very nonsymmetrical cobalt blue tribal flames done in what I call a "bowling ball" paint job contrasted by a hand painted outline and airbrushed shadowing which makes it look like the flames hover off the tins. These details are best displayed in the picture of the rear fender. After making the rounds on promotional tours, this very bike was ultimately featured in the "Road Test" article of the April 2002 issue of Hot Bike magazine as Swift launched their first line of custom motorcycles. I have taken top honors with this bike in three shows (I only entered it in three shows). The main photo is from the Parker Bikerfest in which I was awarded "Best in Show." I can't get on this bike without several thumbs-ups and comments at almost every stop. I have loved this bike since the first day we met, but as I've gotten older, I've thought to myself, "Who am I to think that I still deserve the baddest bike around?" So, if you know anyone who thinks they actually deserve the baddest bike around, it's for sale. This bike still has less than 6,700 miles on it and is safely hidden away in my garage in southwest Louisiana. Because this is a one-of-a-kind bike from a company that no longer builds motorcycles, starting price is $25,000, but we can talk about that. Plenty more pics available. Thanks for your attention.
