    Great review. My long-time friend TriMark MC (Mark Bolek) loves his Sling. In Tennessee, unless it has a roof (roll bars) you must wear a helmet. He just uses a half helmet. They fit fine in the behind the seat storage.

    That Polaris looks great with the roof on, gives it a hot-looking angle - nice. Super-happy you're loving it and having good times, love it mate. That was so funny that your camera is so keen to interpret hand movements as a stop-recording command. After watching your video, if these were available in Australia and I had the money to buy one, I would be googling for them right now - absolutely love it, so awesome. Can't wait for the riding footage!

    I guess I’m one of the car guys. I just got an email for these. They LOOK fun and that’s a big factor in buying things like this. HOWEVER……… at 37 plus thousand dollars, you’d have to be out of your mind or rich. I can have just as much fun in say a 2019 corvette with 50k miles for less than that. And you’d have trunk space and have more safety features. Not to mention the performance differences. The corvette would run circles around the slingshot. And if it started raining, put the top on, close the windows and turn on the ac. They’d have to drop that price in half before I’d even consider buying one.
    But I am a true automotive enthusiast and can respect anyone’s differences. If you like it that’s all that matters.
