finally saw one at americade, could get in it, but getting out was a different story. my legs are too long, guy had to help me.
I'm not too long ... more like too round ...
A buddy has had his for 2 months. Well, he's had it 5 days. They rest of the time it's been in for repairs/problems. 30 more days and the dealer has to refund his money under our "lemon law".

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
Unfortunately anyone buying one, knowing the many problems & legal issues Polaris is having, is asking for more downtime than riding time.
IF Polaris can figure out the issues maybe it will get better, but I'm not holding my breath on the slingshot going forward...
I was going to get an Elio, but Liz Carmichael assured me that my Dale would be here any day now.
I can relate.......
Never ride faster than your angel can fly !
I've sat in one at a car show I went to. They look like they'd be fun to ride. That's a pretty powerful engine for a vehicle that light. Must be pretty fast. They require a motorcycle license in Massachusetts, I can't see how anyone could classify that as a motorcycle. I think if you're looking for a ride like that just get a small 2 seat convertible. (My next toy maybe!)
Already got my e-mail peddling Slingshot clothing, not that I have one, just get the ads. It ain't for me.
It only has a 2.4 Lt DOHC engine. If you were to ask their salesmen, I wonder how many could tell you the purpose of a DOHC over a SOHC?

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
The Slingshot isn't for me, But.... I hope they sell a ton of them the more people out there in Trike type machines the better it is for all of us. ie; When they're driving in their car they'll be more aware of bikes... Think about it most people once they get a bike/trike, they tend to notice bikes/trikes even when they're driving in their car.. Before that bikes/trikes were invisible to them..
