The seat seems to follow the same sharp lines that the Slingshot has. I wonder how comfortable it will be?

Probably very spongy when you actually put weight against it.
Looks to be waterproof as well.

Very angular indeed. I would assume it just looks like that so that it can get wet and can be hosed down?

you void the warranty if it gets wet... this vehicle is for sunny days only.. LOL

So in Oregon you're warranty will be voided in about a month?

 

[Tuf-Skin]

no,,, but you can only drive it a few days a year... LOL

 

[dascrow]

nice, it will be the perfect vehicle down here in Austin then!

You might have to make something like this for yours Tuf-Skin:

 

[Tuf-Skin]

haha... or maybe get a custom hard top made... LOL

It will be interesting to see if Polaris offers any such accessory.

That's what I'm thinking, as there's no way anyone could expect not to get caught in the occasional shower, or worse yet get doused by a big puddle!

Plus, you have to be able to wash the thing, so the inside has to be ready for water.

Motorcycles, like the Slingshot, are all waterproof and easily stand up to the elements. It's a bike, at the end of the day, and aside from the tires, I'm sure it'll be treated that way.

Do you know what happens to a person who rides a motorcycle through a puddle? They get wet.

Think LOW COST, that's the motorcycle way. It's because of this motorcycle philosophy that many motorcycle companies don't get their heads HANDED to them in court for making lust-worthy machines like the R1, ZX-10R, and 1000RR...

I'll be SHOCKED (pleasantly) if they actually do offer any kind of top. I'd be happy to have some kind of luggage accommodation, but again, it isn't a car.

There's no doors people!!! There's no freaking trunk, or windows, or crumple zones... it's a BIKE that happens to have 3 wheels.

There's a car (read: 4 wheeled version of this vehicle) called the Lotus Elise, and I used to have one, but since I can't afford another one until I get out of school, I'll take the next best thing.
