Polaris Slingshot

Looks like Trike Talk will need to create another trike category what with the new Slingshot coming out. http://wowway.net/search/index.php?context=homepage&tab=Web&q=polaris+
I'm liking it a lot myself.

Re: Polaris Slingshot

I also like what I see. ThumbUp

Looks like a cross between a reverse trike and a hotrod and as a bonus, very easy to work on! Now as for the comfort level, that remains to be seen,,,.

Re: Slingshot

And as I mentioned in another thread, it looks very easy to work on which to me is a big bonus! My concern is the comfort level. Those seat look pretty hard. I'll definitely go and take a look at one and hopefully at least sit in it once their at the dealers. Taking one for a test drive would be perfect!

Re: Slingshot

Yea! My favorite part ,seatbelts with shoulder harness and a foot clutch, steering wheel, side by side seating ,5 speed stick shift ,when does it become a motorcycle?

Re: Slingshot

It's a three-wheeled car designed to get around regulations and costs as much as a car. Our Honda Accord has a lot more comfort and no need to wear a helmet.

hope you have better luck than I did. she was not impressed. I think she is trying to pick out a rocking chair for me. (not happening yet!)

Re: Slingshot

As much as I like it, selling my present trike to buy the Slingshot really doesn't make any sense at this point in time. If I did sell my trike, (which still might happen this year) there won't be any replacement for it!

My biggest draw to the Slingshot (outside of car like shifting and having your better half next to you instead of behind) is the ability to work on it quite easily as compared to my Wing. But I already have a nice Honda DelSol that gives me my "little sports car fix" by simply removing the 'targa top' along with all windows down for 'open air' feeling. Why have two vehicles where my DelSol can be used all year with heat and AC,,,. :Shrug:

Just reality setting in, lol.

Re: Polaris Slingshot

If I got into one, not sure I could get back out of it without the help of a forklift......don't think that is this bigboy's type of rig.....but for the wife, well that's another story.

Re: Polaris Slingshot

I saw the pictures and a few videos and it make me wonder....is this really a trike or a three-wheeled car?

Re: Polaris Slingshot

Three-wheel car being sold as a motorcycle to get around automobile manufacturing regulations...

Re: Polaris Slingshot

Regardless of how you classify it I like it. Is it more car-like than say a Motor Trike Stallion or more like a beefed up Spyder? Or something in between.

Re: Polaris Slingshot

Bet it's fun to ride but you'd better look sharp at any turnoffs,driveways,even intersections on secondary roads or you'll scrape your cheeks. Speed bumps might be an issue as well. That said it's probably a hoot to ride in the curvy parts.

I'm thinking this baby would be right at home in my neck of the woods in northern Arkansas. Twisty fun deluxe!!!

Re: Polaris Slingshot

If you read the specs on it, it is a foot wider and 2 feet longer than a Stallion which makes it pretty darn big !! The article in Cycle mag didn't show or say anything about storage either. Probably come up with a trailer hitch later.

There is storage behind each seat and a lockable glove box..

Re: Polaris Slingshot

As said on the Harley thread. Looks car like. Very wide. I would buy one but Conn is not allowing it to be reg or sold here yet...

Re: Slingshot

Might as well buy a car!! That ain't no motorcycle!
