Slingshot has me curious!

[dndfindley]

Interesting comments. It just so happens that there is a brand new Indian/Victory/Slingshot dealership in Chattanooga over near Pandora BMW.

Crockettpowersports.com

Was over there yesterday, I think they are going to be a good customer oriented Dealership. BTW......The new Indians are very nice.

The 2016 Scout now has ABS.

I just passed my third Sling Shot in less than a month. I think they are quite cool looking. But deep down I am truly a Polaris guy anyway. It would not replace my Spyder but if the wife would let me park her Tahoe outside I would think about getting one.

Hmmm...just curious. If you are a Polaris guy why do you ride a BRP Spyder?

I have a 2015 RTS and a 2015 Slingshot. In my opinion you can't compare the two. My Spyder is wonderful and very cool. The Slingshot, since it's new to the scene, makes such a "large" statement that mobs gather around it. Some Slingshots have "some" issues, but there is little doubt they look bad-ass. My advice is to blow off the opinions of those who've merely sat in one. First thing you should do is start reading and then decide whether you want to proceed:

You know why...

Sounds like it's time to trade in the Girl Friend.

LOL! Don't think I wanna do that just yet!!

I have seen a few Slingshots around my area and for some reason I always chuckle to see a grown man in a batman vehicle.

We saw one yesterday. It was going down the road on the other side of the divided Glenn Highway. So, I could not do a chase and question. They don't sell them here that I have been able to find. A white haired gentleman with no helmet was the pilot. I did not know him.

I just picked up a 2015 Scout. Wish I would have waited till the '16's were out.
It is the most comfortable,smoothest and fastest motorcycle I've ever owned. Highly recommended!



We were eyeballin' a SS at the dealer where we picked up the Scout. Not enough time to check it out further.

Excellent looking bike.

There were 2 Slingshots at Spyders in the Redwoods, one was driven by Mr. Looney, a former Spyder owner and the other by a guy who wore batman shirts everyday. One of them was parked near where we were doing alignments and I got to spend a lot of time looking at the back end of it and I must say that the back end is really unattractive. Mr. Looney had an alarm on his that would sound if anyone got too close to it, that was very annoying.

Randy, I'd have a big head start waiting for those old guys to get their butts in the Slingshot.

If you really need to know. I wanted a 4 stroke snowmobile and Polaris did not make a machine to those specifications. While I was at my BRP dealer I told the wife that the Spyder sitting out front was really cool and will have to get one of those also. In case you are uninformed Polaris does not make one of those (Spyder) either. Although I think the Sling Shot is also cool but I would not replace my Spyder with one. I would consider having a SS as another toy, but it is unlikely. I would rather purchase another Spyder for the wife.

Really beautiful bike! Indian is now a real force to be reckoned with!

Probably one of the most fun vehicle you could own and not worry to much about...a ratty old convertible. Lots of old miatas, vw's, del sol's, mitsubishi spyders, hot rod and luxury convertibles out there for much less. While the Slingshots are made for all weather exposure, most will will probably get garaged, but many will probably look much like a weathered jet ski or snowmobile soon enough, the materials are no better.

Are you saying there was a loony in the Redwoods and Batman had his lair there?

C/mon... what are the odd of this happening??

I've met Dave's wife. She is a very nice gal, who loves to ride. But I don't think Dave has a prayer of taking over the entire garage.

I know that sure wouldn't work at my house.

[Bob Denman]

There's a better chance of US ending up outside!

Chance of that happening??? ZERO!!! My garage is stuffed. Not parking the truck outside either. If Sharon ever decides to get her MC endorsement I think she would figure out a way to get a second Spyder inside

[Rogue Hawk]

It's an interesting vehicle. It does not relay appeal to me because it's not 'Motorcycle" enough for my tastes.

I like tis look for the slingshot. It is pricey though! http://slingshotmod.com/boutique/en/...ody-kits-p102/

Just my two cents worth on the SLINGSHOT. First impression, AWESOME, hence forth the test drive, got to have about 45 minutes, in it, salesman not really that helpfull on the controls, but we figured it out. WINDSHIELD WAY TOO SHORT, if my helmut not done up would have been gone. ENTRY/EXIT, very hard for someone with long legs, EASE OF CONTROLS, manual transmission with reverse and back up camera ( centre rear view mirror USELESS ) over the fin style style decoration, rear end NOT PRETTY LOOKING, HEAT FROM ENGINE, on floorboards ( spyder has nothing on this ), my son was in shorts and made a comment it was way too hot, Overall has lots of bottom end torque ( easily smoke the rear tire ) as evidenced by the lak of rubber, ( new tire approx 600 bucks )all the weight up front, maxed out at 140kmh, kinda dissapointing as a way bigger engine than the spyder, stereo, cruise control, can't remember if cup holders or not, brakes seemed kinda week, overall, was a nice test ride, but would I trade it for the spyder or buy one. NO, the creme de la creme, was sitting on the side of the highway for about 15 minutes while the POLICE did their thing as when they ran the plate , nothing showed up. It was beuracratic mixup with dmv and registration issues, all was good, was late getting back to the dealership as they were closed, salesman not impressed, thank god the Officer gave me his card in case of any issues. P.S. The glove compartment in on the passenger side, tucked way underneath the dash board, found that out looking for insurance and registration.... Seat's not that comfy, ( hard pressed to do a 300 mile ride ). Not really sure what else to say. Cool factor , overall awesome, other than that make your own impression. The unit I drove had about 9k on it and was a sale price of 26k with gst and everything, with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY. Just my two cent's worth.
