    Slingshot is incredible. I was one of the first ones to get them in 2015. I have driven motorcycles all my life. Most recently a full dress Harley. I sold it to purchase the Slingshot. As one ages one learns you can not or should not handle a bike any more. Not even talking about the people on cell phones who don't see bikes. I was fortunate and never had a serious accident on a bike. The Slingshot is like a rocket. I can spin the rear tire in the first three gears and hit 80 mph before I red line and shift to the next two gears (which I never need). I can fly around corners at speeds that no motorcycle can match. Very stable. I have now owned the Slingshot for 2 years. Great toy. As recalls are fixed, the Slingshot gets better. With after market parts and all the vendors this thing can go turbo. But why, out of the box this thing screams. If you see me around, flag me down, I'll give you a ride and you can decide. BTW, I will be the one with the ear to ear smile on my face.

    This is the kind of review you get from a guy who's never driven it before, and went into it already hating it. I love my slingshot, it's plenty fast, has great breaks, and you can't buy more attention for less money. If you wanna take it to the track you won't impress anyone, but it's not made for that, it's a cruising machine that's quick and fun, not a race car........and next time try to be even the slightest bit fair with your review, you should be embarrassed about this video, really bad and extremely biased review

    • @leisingmcane

The negative aspects that people mention in the comments are retarded to me. You buy this for a fun time getting around, not racing dynamics. Duh! Damn.

I normally would never consider an add on top for something like the Slingshot, but since Polaris makes, it, the top has probably been tested for reliabilty and safety.

    Rob the Slingshot's target demographic is those of us over 40, who'd like to own a motorcycle but don't like 2 wheels anymore. I'd much rather have a T-Rexx, but the Slingshot is a third of the cost. And of course it's under powered, it's a GM Eco-tech 4 cylinder.

    @bluefuzzle1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I usually don't comment on stuff, but I actually disagree with nearly everything this guy is saying unfortunately.
    I enjoy driving mine around all the time (weather permitting). It picks up speed faster than most cars in its price range. So people saying "my bikes faster than that" like obviously because it's heavier than a bike..
    The breaks are pretty good because I've had to stop pretty quickly before and it does fine. The radio is pretty good (Its open top, you can't compare sound quality to a car obviously..)
    Many more things he got wrong but too much to type out.
    Personally I think it's great and so does nearly everyone in my family and my friends. And it's price is slightly more than a bike but less than a lot of new cars, but in my state it's considered a car so I don't need a motorcycle license or a helmet, so I have no complaints with that either.

    A friend of mine has one and it's a hoot. It's Polaris's answer to the Can Am Spyder, albeit one where you can actually sit side by side. IIRC, Polaris worked with states to insure that a motorcycle license was not required to drive one, but still slots in registration as one to get around all the car safety requirements. It's a fun toy, and at @25k, is not out of line with the big touring Harleys and Honda Goldwing, and the Can Am.

      Mark M around tight technical tracks I'd agree... As far as fuel economy, I've knocked down 45 mpg with my CBR 1000RR. My 600RR on the same trip got 52 mpg. In a straight line the 600s aren't even close to liter bikes with or without mods!

    When you look at demographics on people who will be buying one of these, this guy's disconnect is appalling.
    How hard is it to have fun on one of these?
    My wife and I have had an absolute BLAST on ours. She loves it and so do I. Best money we've ever spent period. So glad Polaris came out with these.
    Perhaps if I was a spoiled douch-bag who test drives an $70,000-$80,000 T-Rexs I would be able to compare but thats not me nor thousands who will be in the market for one of these.
    Again, its pretty easy to have fun on one of these. If you can't, it's your own fault.
    I'll spend half as much and have just as much fun.

    I have one, base model, and I like it a lot. Got it new, last years model close out for 16k. For me it’s like an old Triumph or MG, little convertible with no frills. I’m in Naples, FL so it’s a year round toy. My wife and I are at the age where 2-up on a bike wasn’t as fun as it used to be and this was a good solution for about the same money. Not making excuses, he makes some valid points. I will say this though... the windscreen makes a profound difference. I don’t think it would be wise to buy one without spending time in one first to have realistic expectations. I happen to fall into the niche it caters to and am very pleased.

    I agree, drove one a few weeks ago. Got on it fairly hard once I hit the first highway I could, went to go stop where I would normally turn around and had to almost pass it because the brakes just would not stop the car even though I had the pedal to the floor..

    The Polaris Slingshot drive like a 4 wheeler a hard to engage manual transmition a poor powerstering a poor interior and its souds terrible. And here in Canada you need a helmet to drive it. Thankfully you dont need a motorcycle driving lissence here in Canada. (I spoke french so it is possible that I made spelling mistake)

    YEEEEES!! I'm so glad you made a video bashing this thing...I absolutely hate them because of the fact that everyone who buys one is for attention. The slingshot isn't good at handling, and they aren't fast. People just buy them for the attention they get from people who don't know what they are and think that it is some expensive sports car when realistically they are like 20k.

  • @witexan
    @witexan 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rob, forget the Polaris and do a video on the Morgan 3-wheeler. In every video review I've ever seen, the driver literally giggles or laughs as they're driving it because it's so much fun. And, no motorcycle karma is involved.

    hey Rob, i live in Ontario, Canada. A law was just passed for the slingshot that you do not have to have a motorcycle license. you used to have to have a M license and a helmet. But i guess polaris settled with the government lol because having to have a motorcycle license was hurting the sales of the slingshot. Also the slingshot has a 2.4 GM Ecotec lmao

  • @CASH_ces7899
    @CASH_ces7899 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was able to test drive one. He's right about the brakes. They're not high performance brakes and soft. The swing arm looks weak as well. If you ride a motorcycle everyday, which I do when I can, you also notice the torque is really lagging. It doesn't really pull you into your seat hard like you think it would. Not a motorcycle. This is a Sunday driver for an older couple still wanting to ride in the open. Not a sports machine for a single guy if that's what you're looking for.
