Spyder/Slingshot Comparison Pics

[Craniac]

Had the Spyder in Las Cruces today so I stopped and took a few pics next to a Slingshot.

Are they advertising the Slingshot as a motorcycle?

 

[Chupaca]

Gotta say..!!

slingshot is really large..must be one of the reasons they find it hard to class it a motorcycle...:dontknow:

These pics prove, there really is no comparison! :thumbup:

I really like the Polaris RZR in the background. Now that makes it a good comparison between vehicles.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:. I don't believe one can really compare the spyder to the slingshot. Just too different, although both are great vehicles & deserve praise. But what do I know anyway.

That's the Slingshot SL has windshield, backup camera and radio with six speaker system, blue tooth and 18" wheels. The SL LE comes with dual windshields, interior LED lighting and special paint color. The titanium color is the basic model. No radio, no windshield and 17" front wheels.

I own 1 of each and can attest that there really is no comparison except both have 3 wheels, 2 in the front and 1 in the rear.
Both are licensed as motorcycles.
Both are a great ride and I enjoy them both.

Does the Slingshot's extra 15" of width ever bother you, when transitioning from to one the other? :dontknow:

That is a great set of comparison photos. Did not realize how much bigger the SS is compared to :spyder2:.

Thank you. :yes::yes:

Hi Craniac,

I was in Daytona Beach, FL last week and probably saw five of them going down Atlantic Blvd over the six days I was there.

They do seem interesting,

The extra width is absolutely no problem when transitioning back and forth.
Biggest concern is low road height of 4 1/2", must be careful around "speed bumps"
Width is really no problem at all.
