main reason for ditching the swingarm is if you're going to be doing a good amount rough trails. Mine beats the P!$$ out of me physically because of the type of riding i like. I have a thread entitled "fun" here, gopro helmet mounted vid of 15 minutes of bobblehead X race hell (but i love it so LOL) The swingarm also puts a lot of torsional stress on the frame and through itself on uneven terrain and makes for a buggy with a lot of understeer in the corners.
