Slingshot.....

New from Polaris.... streaching the definition of a motorcycle.
I did sit in one here in Daytona and its really just a 3wheeled car and there are several roaming the streets down here
 
I would drive the $hit out of one of those things, but I'd rather invest my money in bikes
 
I have seen 3 at the local dealer, all pre sold and another 5 on wait lists. For me, interesting but not interested. Compared to a Can Am, I would take this anytime, sitting in vs on will be a sales point. It runs like a raped ape, just a blast per the employees. They are having 'type certification' issues in a few states, they also have to watch the weight. Limited by vehicle w/factory options weight restrictions to under 17XX pounds, so no bags or such offered. The aftermarket will get involved soon. I am waiting for the 'stupid people' videos.
 
What configuration is the engine block. Surely not the ancient v twin in that size. What are they designing around for engine muscle thats sustainable ,?
