Default 2015 Sling Shot

Really don't know what to make of this thing.. Plus has a Chevy four cylinder Ecotec engine?? Bed buddies with GM now? Kinda cool though,but think I'd have to pass even if I had the money for this thing.. 23 grand would go a long way on a good pickup or Jeep.

Not sure if they're trying to compete with the CanAm spyder or what.

Victory and Indian were good choices for them, this thing, I'm not too sure.

I'm confused how they can even call it a motorcycle.

As long as it's less than 4 wheels Polaris can get away with calling it a motorcycle. Same thing that a few old English companies did to avoid the high taxes on cars in the early 60's.My brother bought an Isetta when I was about 12 in 1960. At that age I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen..

Think it would be a better seller with the extra wheel.

Not my cup of proverbial tea. I like the Can-Am Spyder better just for the fact it's more like a 3 wheel motorcycle than this Slingshot appears to be.

Both the spyder and this thing are corny but if I had to take 1, I'd take the Polaris. The manual gearbox is the coolest thing about it

The Slingshot will compete with the Campagna T-Rex at half the price. Maybe I'll buy 2 Slingshots. Campagna T-Rex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Campagna Motors T-REX and V13R the Original 3 wheeler.

That's super pricey T-rex, these two looks 3-wheel version of WRC cars..
