We've had some folks order them...
...Some dismiss them as cars...
And some (LIke me!), who'd add them to the garage as another way to addd some spice to the Sunday Rides...
Lots of Threads abound! :D

I requested a test drive, but have not heard back from the dealer. Don't know if they have them yet. Should be fun to try out. :ohyea:

Hi Eagle,

Re: I requested a test drive, but have not heard back from the dealer. Don't know if they have them yet. Should be fun to try out.

I called the local BRP dealer who is also listed as a dealer for the Slingshot. They said that they would have them in Oct & put me on the contact list for a test drive.

Time will tell,

Jerry Baumchen

According to the press in New Zealand the Slingshot won't be coming off the production line until early 2015.

What about exhausts/mufflers in the stats ?

A whole bunch of us are eagerly awaiting information on the Slingshot. A few have them on order. A few more are on the edge of adding one or trading Spyder off to get one.

It's going to be a great vehicle IMO--of course. The subject will be ripe for threads for some time to come. :yes::yes:

So many of these seem to claim their roots are from the spyder or the media lumps us in with them but neither apply. We are in a class all our own...!! :2thumbs:

I bought the red SL version. I am just waiting on it to arrive. I am keeping my RT for sure. I just want a new toy to play with. I have the first one off the truck at my dealer.

Are you close enough, to go talk them into a test ride?

Just called them. They only had it for 4 days and then it went to a dealer in NJ for a week and then on to another dealer.........

They will have a demo and stock arriving mid Oct.

I'm still being promised delivery in the first week of October. The dealer said he would give me a ring & I could come in and watch the assembly. :clap:

The best time to ride in the West. I really miss the two Month riding season of the North East. :yikes:

The blush hasn't worn off my new RT yet... but I have made reservations at our local race track for my grandkids and I to have a track day! Hope the weather holds.

I went by my dealer today. He said late October. I had to pay MSRP + 999 freight .Question for those that put deposit on one..... Is that what y'all are hearing when you ask price...


You can't really get a bargain on a new toy but I was just making sure they were on par with others...

Well, I will get to watch it assembled, but I was offered $3500 for my place in line, which makes my RT purchase free - and I took it. I'll just reset until the next production run... Grandkids will be disappointed, but... back to the farkle catalog....
