    If I had disposable money, I would. Looks like a real "fun" vehicle and very easy to work on. With that said, I'll just keep my Honda DelSol for a similar fun factor.

    If the number of deposits is any indication then these Slingshots are going to be selling as fast as Polaris can make and ship them. Everything being said so far looks good to me. Deliveries are still up in the air thou. I've heard/read everything for late Sept to mid Nov with the early Oct getting the most posted. Time will tell.
    I'm 1stin line at the local dealers for a SL model. Sold my Venture trike already with the buyer picking it up in the morning. Hated to part with it but no garage room and don't really need two trikes and their costs.

    First problem I notice was that it takes 91 octane fuel. A lot of areas don't have it, and how long will it be available?
    You could end up like Harley riders, carrying a little can of octane boost. Kind of like carrying a jug of oil for an old two stroke.

    That fact that premium fuel is required could be a deal breaker for some. I too would of preferred an engine that could run on regular gas. Due to almost everywhere you go there's the 10% alcohol crap for gas, maybe having a higher octane fuel is good, performance wise that is. I haven't seen any real lack of 91-93 fuel anywhere myself. Our Miata requires the 91-93 octane fuel to so I know the pain at the pump when filling up. Just part of having a fun vehicle.

    Larry,
    When you do get your new Beast and ever find yourself down here in the Sticks,
    How 'bout a Ride
    Heck, I got no problem throwing some gas (no matter the octane) your way

    No issues what so ever with finding "Premium" octane Fuel in Hill-Billy Land (or anywhere that I've ever been for that matter).
    I hear tell even got full 100% un-cut Gasoline if you want
    Not an Issue.

    Congrats on the quick sale of your RSV
    Looking forward to your Review and thoughts on your Slingshot.

    Premium fuel (High Test) wouldn't bother me. After all, this is a recreational vehicle, not one that's your main mode of transportation. (Or maybe for some of us die-hards, it could be! lol )

    If I had the extra finances, I'd get one!

    Best of luck with your new ride!!!

    Yea, 91/93 Octane that's a deal breaker, What with the extra cost. My Bentley runs on 91
    and the cost of gas was killing me, So much so that I had to lay off my Chauffeur, and now I have to drive myself.

    Thanks for the comments. It was hard to see the RSV trike go. I'd be happy to let you take it for a spin.

    After a test drive I am interested. Not putting a non-refundable down payment on anything that I haven't test driven.

    It is possible that is may be too low to get into or out of comfortably.

    So much for waiting - my husband put down a deposit today - refundable - we might see it in December.

    That's cool . I sure hope I get mine before December thou cause If I don't I'll have to trailer it south far enough to get away from snow & /or cold here in southern Michigan. I'm 1st in line to get one from the local dealer and so far rumors are sometime in Oct. No one knows for sure yet. Heck I'm not even sure if Polaris even knows. LOL

    Let's see. Hi test or reg. if I was using it to commute to work it might be an issue. But seeing Honey and I take it on a trip to no place and back on a Sunday. Can't see the difference in wasting an extra $ 1.30 on gas. My friend with his 1800 Wing always busted me at the pump. On a ride when we filled up he would use 2 tents of a gallon less. About 40 cents.if I was worried on how much I was wasting I would leave it parked in the garage. We , we'll most of us waste gas every time we back out of the garage. Let's face it that is what we do with a boat,snowmobile dirt bike,jet ski.
    When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

    Keep us posted. You should get yours before West coast people. The dealer is supposed to be getting three in October...and we are 4th on the list.

    I couldn't care less about the COST. I use non-ethanol in everything I have, and pay a 30 cent per gallon penalty for doing it. My concern is about AVAILABILITY. A lot of places do not have anything over 87 now.

    Then you use what they got... Till you find what you need, I've had to do that from time to time.. The ECM Will just detune it a little.. Similar to knock sensors..

    Slingshot sure looks nice.

    Larry, since your previous trike wasn't 2 wheels in front, have you driven a Can Am so you know the difference? It's not the same experience is what I've heard.

    Trike is really sporty, like a convertible dragster with one wheel in back. Myself, I like looking at the Boss Hoss ads and info, but doubt I'll ever get one.

    My son has a Can Am so I'm familiar with the riding position & handling. I don't think the two can even be compared, other than being both reverse tries.
