Watch The Features And Benefits. What do you think?
It’s sweet!
Times are a changing, that’s for sure!
Something for everybody.
I’m looking forward to hard facts like 0-60, top speed, and driving impressions. Super cool looking toy for the cycle endorsement gifted. I think I want one!
Wow! ……. It’s lame
Holy-cow!
It is absolutley hideous!! Who sent the designers’ home.
Interesting, anyone who likes a Spyder will want one for sure, more comfortable.
I would like to drive one at Octoberbikefest.
I can see accessories being designed as I speak. Should be fun.
I like it.
I think it’s a cool idea. I like it better than the Spyder. Not sold on the cosmetics. Looks like they had their RZR design team on it. (A distinct possibility)
Looks like a high powered Dune Buggy/Go Kart for the street that’s trying to bridge the gap between sports cars and motorcycles. Seems like it would have a pretty limited appeal. At 1,700 lbs I’d hope it has at least 250 hp to give it a decent power to weight ratio — too bad it doesn’t have a 6-speed transmission.
I can’t say that this (or any 3 wheeler) will appeal to real motorcyclists, but it may draw in a different, younger crowd. I think to generate interest in this they should sponsor some sort of class races like Harley does with the Sportster.
It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep pricing low enough to generate volume sales to the intended market. It’ll also be interesting to see what options/accessories are offered — if they offered a convertible top option it would snare a whole different/additional market segment.
cant wait till their down to 10k on ebay 🙂 in a few years……unlimited potential for this vechile
I’d like to drive one , own one, depends,
looks like fun, wonder how well this would perform as a track day car. cheap alternative to a Porsche
Pretty cool. Could certainly see a market for this if the price is right.
decisions… decisons… decision!
buy this or something from the scooter store….
hmmmmm!
I rode a Can Am Spyder and hated it. My first thought as I got on it was that the rider and passenger sit too high for a three wheeler and in my mind, I modified it to look like this thing.
It’s quite heavy, especially compared to a T-Rex, but with a 2.6 (or whatever), it still ought to move out, and with that low center of gravity it ought to handle.
Hardly practical, but quite the toy for those who can afford one.
Yes, I’d like to drive/ride one. But I doubt that I could find room in my garage for one…
It’s got a steering wheel, and you sit in it. They gave it one back wheel for one reason only-to skirt the safety rules other automakers are handcuffed with. As soon as a few people go splat in these someone will get a movement to ban anything like them and they’ll kill off the whole trike industry?
So after hitting out of the park with the Victory Magnum & The Indian Roadmaster
I am really disappointed in this “Slingshot” thing….
After seeing it & listening to various blogs & videos about it
I don’t think Can-Am has a damn thing to worry about
This isn’t really a motorcycle !!!!! Anything with a steering wheel is a CAR !!!!
If it comes t the point where I have to have 3 wheels instead of 2, my $$$ will go to a Can-Am Spyder…
This thing is really butt ugly (just my opinion) .
Hey Polaris, I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad ????
And the point of making this is?
Excellent work, Polaris. Modern package, plenty of cubic inches and less than half the price of a new Morgan 3-wheeler. I want one, too!

Dealernews says it’s legally considered a motorcycle. Question is: can you ride/drive it to get your motorcycle license, like a Can-Am? If so, I hope they never straddle a two-wheeler.
The haters don’t get it…. yes it’s legally a motorcycle, but Its pure toy for the masses.. it’s not being marketed as a bike or Spyder competition (though some see it that way) The only catch is you need a motorcycle license which limits the purchasing crowd
it is affordable and upgradable. A T-REX for the masses?
Any body mention a price?….or if you have to ask…well you know the rest…
The “slingshot” should be one hell of blast. Another post said something that I believe will take place, sometime soon some fool will wrap themselves around a tree somewhere and their family will sue “because Polaris made an unsafe vehicle”. It will be a shame, because I believe this “toy” would really be a “hoot”. I would love to ride one but I do not believe I would own one, although that could change very easy.
