I presently own a 2005 Honda Goldwing Trike..I have also owned a 2013 CanAm Spyder RT... I went to see the Slingshot at DYH in Deptford, NJ last week. I was thinking of trading in my Honda trike for one until I checked it out carefully. I didn't get to test ride it since no one put me into one. First mistake..You need to put the customer in the vehicle to convince him to buy it, unless you are like me and just want something different for variety...
It does look very cool, but it is hard as hell to get out of the drivers seat..You have to be double jointed to do this. If you are a large person, forget it..I can't believe that it is sooooo low to the ground. I believe you could drag your hand on the highway while riding..You know you are low when a Smart Car is towering over you...LOL....I would not feel safe on the highways...I believe it belongs on a go cart track..I would hate to have a tractor trailer riding behind me. I would fear it would run over me and not even know I was there...
I will stick with my Honda Goldwing Trike..I feel very safe when riding it...
Motogordo
p.s. At least I gave it a look see.........The high end model can run up to $28,000 plus.....
