[vman11]

Take a look at the newest Polaris on-road vehicle, the Slingshot. A pretty cool addition to the Polaris suite!

Just get a car! How is this a MC?

+1 Way too much hype with this ad. Honestly, how often can one take any vehicle and punch it on a paved, public roadway....and not get in trouble? Practical in any way, shape, or form? It's just a CanAm side by side for two.

The CanAm is another one I really don't care for. I ride snowmobiles all winter and don't need to ride one on the street!

Not sure you can directly compare the Spyder to the Slingshot. Look at the performance specs, seating, COG, drivetrain, etc. 2 pretty different vehicles.

The "practicality" discussion is a slippery slope. How about the dudes who run +$75K Ranger walleye rigs? I'm addicted to fishing and really can't come up with any practical excuse that justifies owning a fishing setup half the value of my house.

Nothing personal VMan. Just not my cup of tea. But I certainly don't speak for everyone.

By any chance do you work for Polaris?

You should have grown up with me down in Southern MN...

I will have to say that just about every little tar back road I go down up north has some long "Posi rubber" marks down it in the middle of no where!

Should have put the turbo charged Ecotec in there. I'm sure someone will.

I'd have one if I had an extra $25k laying around. I read thats the starting price. Guess that counts me out!

Looks like it would be fun to drive with a go cart type feel. Sure wouldn't want to get in a wreck with one.

If it is like the Polaris atv's make sure you have AAA because it's probably breaking down at the worst time possible
