The JR-4 swoop was a heavy swoop bike manufactured by Bespin Motors at the height of the Galactic Republic.
History[]
Originally marketed as a single-person airspeeder, it soon gained the nickname "swoop" due to its maneuverability at high altitudes.
It was considered as one of the earliest swoop bikes ever made and its production run lasted for several centuries, until it was discontinued some 100 years before the Battle of Yavin.
The CK-6 swoop bike, nicknamed Freeco bike, was based on the JR-4 model.[2]
