Awesome! When are you heading up there? Do you expect Polaris will let the dealers test drive the Slingshot?

According to my rep, only the Top 300 dealers in the nation in TOTAL sales will be offered the chance to test drive the slingshot at the show. Thought that was pretty shitty

I'm sure they would love to give everyone a ride, but at some point I bet it becomes logistically impossible to get hundreds of people in a seat in a short time period. I hope that's not the case and everyone at the show on Sunday gets a turn.

See, that's nice and all, joy rides for the sales staff at the reveal... How quaint.

BUT, do customers get to test drive one before buying, or is it like a motorcycle where you do not get a remote idea of what the bike is like before you buy it?

How many dealers are even in the US that will be carrying the Slingshot? 300 seems really high.

I think every Polaris dealer would be chomping at the bit to sell the Slingshot. It would be an excellent way to increase sales/revenue/staff.

When I bought my motorcycle I test rode like 15 at the store, does this depend on the store and I just happened to get lucky?

I think it depends on the demand of the vehicle, the amount in stock and if they have a dedicated demo.

Wow. Here in AZ, they make you sign all paperwork for the bike, title, give them their money, etc, and then you ride off, without a test ride.

Some cruisers, well, they get demo time at events, but that's about it. Never heard of test rides on a bike before, but that's here.

Oh wow I should really be thankful, all they do here is photocopy your drivers license. Wisconsin nice at it's finest I guess.

I talked to Mike @ Rosedale Motorsports , he will have a demo for intrested customers to ride...............

Appreciate it, I will be back to school before it hits the showrooms. I'll look into a trade in next summer probably

If spec is right, power to weight ratio is really telling for any vehicle power-wise. That said, I expect weight of this thing to be under 1300 pounds, with more than 150 HP. It'll have more than 1HP / LB. Most liter bikes (sportbikes) have 120-160 HP for a 450 Lb wet package... So, it will definitely be more impressive than a cage... less so than a bike in all out acceleration... BUT... it will be wicked to fling around in the twisties and more fitting if one should get fatigued...

For crips like me, it might temporarily offer an alternative to a Lotus Elise.

Looking forward to the updates. Really interested in the atvs, utv/sxs, and especially the slingshot. Is it time yet, LoL.

I just saw a pic of the agenda on the rzr forums and the slingshot unveil is by invitation only. Hmmmm

 

[407guy]

Have the link with the agenda?
