    Default Still nice but...

    has been around but still feel they should put the T-Rex and Elio in and leave the Spyders out. Don't know how the Slingshot is doing in Texas and Connecticut now...

    completely agree...not sure how the Spyder is in a category with the Sling Shot or T-Rex for that matter. I think they are all "cool" machines but the Spyder is not set up like those two at all.

    A great video. Thanks for sharing. This one was new to me.

    It was great seeing three Y configuration vehicles compared together. We will never solve the issues of motorcycle, car, etc. as it will depend on which camp you are in.

    I noted that most of the information about the vehicles was spot on--the man did call the Tranny an SE5 instead of an SE6 on the .

    IMO, the opinions were pretty much right on.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    It's been around for a while - think it popped up on the "other topics" forum first.

    I agree that all the 2x1 toys - that are not aftermarket mods - should have been included.

    The more I look at the video the more I seem to be a Morgan/Slingshot type of guy

    The Morgan is out due to its outrageous cost, so that only leaves the Slingshot & the wife's wrath.

    However, I've just poked myself with a sharp stick & returned to financial reality.

    Around here, (Quebec) you need a full motorcycle driver's license to drive a T-Rex or a Slingshot, but a car driver's license plus a 1day training with no exam for a Spyder!

    Go figure what our provincial government masterminds are thinking...

    Actually, that's a video of Ivor (the Slingshot) following us (the spyder riders) down to Keywest and back when we went on the cruise to Cozumel, Mehico. <snicker>

    Quite so. The Morgan is made by an all English family run company who
    made their first reverse trike in 1909!

    The T-Rex is also made in Quebec, just like the Spyder. I suspect that some lobbying groups had a lot more money to "spend" than others.
