    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...

    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'll bet that December is a GREAT time of the year, to test out an open cockpit vehicle.

    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,

    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.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    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.

    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...!!

    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.

    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.

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