A new type of motorcycle is on the roar down our streets. It gushes with power and fills pretty much everyone with images of a futuristic alien monster swooping down to save the day after an apocalyptic event. Its sheer power is a solid statement of intent and design. If you haven’t caught the drift, we are talking about the Slingshot, which swooped into the market just two years ago from Polaris.
The Slingshot is a little bit surreal at first glance. It has space for two passengers and pulls in with three wheels, two at the front and one further back. No wonder they identify it as a trike in South Carolina. The entire unit is 1741 pounds heavy, has a steering wheel, a four cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission. It is now available for $21,900-$27,000 at American Biker .
Even American Biker’s Rich Worley is amazed at this angular monster and the way it confidently stands tall. He thinks the design is ‘super cool’, in his own words.
