[Retired Army]

Sir I would like to hear your thoughts on the Polaris Slingshot trike.

For those who do not know, 2.2 liter GM motor and tranny, 175 HP, all kinds of safety features - this is a Slingshot:

Thank you sir I was also wondering about the dynamics of having the two wheels on the front and I came across this site with some info about that.

Sir I would like to hear your thoughts on the Polaris Slingshot trike.

Sorry for my delay as I am out on the road and at the mercy of some bad Wi-Fi. Basically I am a whatever floats your boat guy given that I know what I like, but am not in a position to tell someone else what "they" should or should not like. When I was first introduced into the world of motorcycling, it was a GL1800 that I fell in love with. I have ridden an Ultra Glide and it was just not for me.

With that said, I just don't find these attractive. I am not a Can-Am guy nor a Stallion, and would pass these by as well. Regardless of kits, I love the lines of a GL1800 trike and think they look good. Now mind you, I might take one for a spin, but at the end of the day, I would rather saddle up on my GL1800.

Hope that helps. All the best.

Thank you for the reply I was just looking for your take on it. I have hunted the net trying to find the difference between pushing two wheels as apposed to pulling them and have not found much on the subject. I am sure there is quit a difference. I am aware the handling of the side car is in a class by itself.

Lamont who has his own site called, I believe, spiderlovers.com would be a great guy to chat with. He knows these (those) things like the back of his hand. I am sure you would gather a great deal if info from him.

Give us all a heads up on what you come up with.

I wonder why the went with GM running gear instead of their own?
I guess that going with automotive engine and gearing does have some advantages, especially when it is time for service or repairs.

I've had Polaris snowmobiles for many years. Polaris makes great snowmobiles and I'm sure this will follow along those same lines.
