shameless types I have never had a bike that slow and I've had over 10 bikes. I've had 4 cars that were faster. I've also raced one on my ZX14 and it was a joke.
What are you trying to say? I have owned many VWs in the old days. I also have owned many a car that was faster then a VW bug. I have owned many bicycles. I have also owned many a motorcycle that was faster than a bicycle. I have ran on foot down the street faster than a weiner dog. What'the point? No matter what motorcycle you own, there is one faster. So your point was.....?
This is the kind of review you get from a guy who's never driven it before, and went into it already hating it. I love my slingshot, it's plenty fast, has great breaks, and you can't buy more attention for less money. If you wanna take it to the track you won't impress anyone, but it's not made for that, it's a cruising machine that's quick and fun, not a race car........and next time try to be even the slightest bit fair with your review, you should be embarrassed about this video, really bad and extremely biased review
I think he hates it because its an aggressive good looking vehicle to go sideways and cruise around on that is EXACTLY what these ferrarris and lambos etc are. I expected the rich car world of guys to hate this bc it has looks, fun, cheap. Its like when the first mustang came out.
Slingshot is incredible. I was one of the first ones to get them in 2015. I have driven motorcycles all my life. Most recently a full dress Harley. I sold it to purchase the Slingshot. As one ages one learns you can not or should not handle a bike any more. Not even talking about the people on cell phones who don't see bikes. I was fortunate and never had a serious accident on a bike. The Slingshot is like a rocket. I can spin the rear tire in the first three gears and hit 80 mph before I red line and shift to the next two gears (which I never need). I can fly around corners at speeds that no motorcycle can match. Very stable. I have now owned the Slingshot for 2 years. Great toy. As recalls are fixed, the Slingshot gets better. With after market parts and all the vendors this thing can go turbo. But why, out of the box this thing screams. If you see me around, flag me down, I'll give you a ride and you can decide. BTW, I will be the one with the ear to ear smile on my face.
Take it from someone with experience. I have owned a Slingshot for two years, have taken many a ride with two wheelers, and also been welcomed into the fold. So Night Rider and Mike b, you have it all wrong.,
Honestly you probably stand similar chances of dying if you crashed either this or the Harley. At least dying on a motorcycle sounds cooler than dying in a plastic three wheeler with a 4 cylinder engine made by Polaris.
unr3al Gaming I agree plus at least with a Motorcycle you can use its size to get ahead thru traffic but with this thing you will just cook in the summer sitting traffic. Fuck that.
I've made it through two summers in my Slingshot. Oh, by the way, there is now a hard top for the Slingshot that works like a Gull Wing. I normally would never consider an add on top for something like the Slingshot, but since Polaris makes, it, the top has probably been tested for reliabilty and safety.
I drove my neighbors and it was the BEST fun I've had in a motorcycle/car/thingy, vehicle or whatever you want to call it. It was a blast and the attention you get is off the chain with women, and even guys. I'd definitely buy one for that alone, and to me they just look cool af. The negative aspects that people mention in the comments are retarded to me. You buy this for a fun time getting around, not racing dynamics. Duh! Damn.
Liter bikes are stil bad for fuel economy and the added weight of 400cc and thicker frame doesn't make up for the added performance. 600cc with a few mods is just as fast and fun as a liter bike.
Mark M around tight technical tracks I'd agree... As far as fuel economy, I've knocked down 45 mpg with my CBR 1000RR. My 600RR on the same trip got 52 mpg. In a straight line the 600s aren't even close to liter bikes with or without mods!
gadgetguy99 put your hayabusa on a racetrack against a 600 and your ass will get decimated. Stupid ass original post to begin with, the type of people who buy this vehicle are not the type of people to ride a supersport motorcycle
Rob the Slingshot's target demographic is those of us over 40, who'd like to own a motorcycle but don't like 2 wheels anymore. I'd much rather have a T-Rexx, but the Slingshot is a third of the cost. And of course it's under powered, it's a GM Eco-tech 4 cylinder.
Dick Johnson I've been riding motorcycles for the past 15 years (I'm 29 years old) and I'm getting one of these Slingshots in a month. And I'm trading the bike in. 2014 Yamaha FJR 1300. I've earned the right to buy this after riding motorcycles for over half my life.
"Hurrr durrr just get an Ariel Atom hurr durrr" Yeah, but an Atom is Porsche 911 money. Please at least compare apples to apples and not diamond encrusted gold plated apples.
I usually don't comment on stuff, but I actually disagree with nearly everything this guy is saying unfortunately. I enjoy driving mine around all the time (weather permitting). It picks up speed faster than most cars in its price range. So people saying "my bikes faster than that" like obviously because it's heavier than a bike.. The breaks are pretty good because I've had to stop pretty quickly before and it does fine. The radio is pretty good (Its open top, you can't compare sound quality to a car obviously..) Many more things he got wrong but too much to type out. Personally I think it's great and so does nearly everyone in my family and my friends. And it's price is slightly more than a bike but less than a lot of new cars, but in my state it's considered a car so I don't need a motorcycle license or a helmet, so I have no complaints with that either.
I have recently purchased one of these. All I can say is how rich and spoiled do you have to be to criticize this thing as this guy did. When you look at demographics on people who will be buying one of these, this guy's disconnect is appalling. How hard is it to have fun on one of these? My wife and I have had an absolute BLAST on ours. She loves it and so do I. Best money we've ever spent period. So glad Polaris came out with these. Perhaps if I was a spoiled douch-bag who test drives an $70,000-$80,000 T-Rexs I would be able to compare but thats not me nor thousands who will be in the market for one of these. Again, its pretty easy to have fun on one of these. If you can't, it's your own fault. I'll spend half as much and have just as much fun.
Exactly why I don't own one! I have cars and I have motorcycles with 2 wheels and I can keep my balance. haha No 'in between' vehicle like the Polaris for me. Take care man
superspeedersRob my boss has one and he says its fast but then again he sent his to get turboed and says it dynod close to 400 whp.... what do you think rob more power would make it better?
It's definitely more of a car rather than a bike. It's got a steering wheel like a car, a stick shift like a car, pedals like a car, seat belts like a car, seats like a car. Nothing about this is a bike. More of a convertible car with one less wheel
A friend of mine has one and it's a hoot. It's Polaris's answer to the Can Am Spyder, albeit one where you can actually sit side by side. IIRC, Polaris worked with states to insure that a motorcycle license was not required to drive one, but still slots in registration as one to get around all the car safety requirements. It's a fun toy, and at @25k, is not out of line with the big touring Harleys and Honda Goldwing, and the Can Am.
I agree, drove one a few weeks ago. Got on it fairly hard once I hit the first highway I could, went to go stop where I would normally turn around and had to almost pass it because the brakes just would not stop the car even though I had the pedal to the floor..
I know a few states are talking about classifying these as just cars or their own category. I think they will still somehow skirt the crash standards, though.
Any reason they didn't make it with 4 wheels? Are there a lot more regulations they would have to address as a car? The rear of the car just kills the whole look.
A friend of mine has one. He just ordered a supercharger for it. Can't wait to see if that helps the so/so performance. And yes even stock it does wicked donuts.
hey Rob, i live in Ontario, Canada. A law was just passed for the slingshot that you do not have to have a motorcycle license. you used to have to have a M license and a helmet. But i guess polaris settled with the government lol because having to have a motorcycle license was hurting the sales of the slingshot. Also the slingshot has a 2.4 GM Ecotec lmao
YEEEEES!! I'm so glad you made a video bashing this thing...I absolutely hate them because of the fact that everyone who buys one is for attention. The slingshot isn't good at handling, and they aren't fast. People just buy them for the attention they get from people who don't know what they are and think that it is some expensive sports car when realistically they are like 20k.
I just drove one of these last week and it's funny that this video popped up. I had all the same feelings that he did. the brakes really are horrible, and I asked the dealership if that was normal, and they said they are fine..... All power is gone in 4-5 gear
the other thing to mention, with three wheels its centre of gravity is very small. do a sharp turn too fast whilst driving, fronts wheels compensate; do a sharp turn too fast whist reversing, cars going to roll
'I think the only reason they list it as a motorcycle is to avoid crash testing it ...and that concerns me!!' wow Rob that is such a true statement!!! i was wondering why it wasnt a "car" on spec sheets. anything with more than 2 wheelsis NOT a bike, its a toy. (at best)
I have one, base model, and I like it a lot. Got it new, last years model close out for 16k. For me it’s like an old Triumph or MG, little convertible with no frills. I’m in Naples, FL so it’s a year round toy. My wife and I are at the age where 2-up on a bike wasn’t as fun as it used to be and this was a good solution for about the same money. Not making excuses, he makes some valid points. I will say this though... the windscreen makes a profound difference. I don’t think it would be wise to buy one without spending time in one first to have realistic expectations. I happen to fall into the niche it caters to and am very pleased.
Rob, forget the Polaris and do a video on the Morgan 3-wheeler. In every video review I've ever seen, the driver literally giggles or laughs as they're driving it because it's so much fun. And, no motorcycle karma is involved.
basically the drive unit is the same as the non turbo solstice/sky . GM 2.4 with a 5 speed so no power awards will it be given but there are worlds of available options for it to get some better sound and power . that 22k for a stick shift 2.4 with abs , traction control , stability control and the media system with the revers camera , may seem like a bit much for a toy but have you priced out a decent bike lately ? I am very curious if they do a real revision of it where they should do something about the 2 biggest issues of it . One the brakes , that was mentioned . Two, the motor heat the generates into the passenger area something fierce. I am a motorcycle rider and one day I may find myself unable to ride so something "like this " would be appealing .
Seen one today at a traffic light leaving work. It was a chrome redish orange with flakes in it, looks like it could be fun but I don't think i'd ever own one.
Ferretti logic: The brakes on this thing are horrible. Let's get on the highway.
Just leave more room to stop.
What do you think of the Elio? Do you think its a scam or do you think it'll get made?
Sean Harlow SAME thoughts here.
superspeederRob and a service lane if needed
Lol, like the time the muffler falls off the corvette on the high way, floors it.
"She doesn't know any better" hahaha I love Rob
a lady waved at him under the assumption it's a cool car, which Rob thinks is a terrible car thing
You summed that up very well 9/10
Back to school gmansplit. Cheers.
Wesley Green Haha yes, you're exactly spot on.
Sound like you were paid to dog the shit out of Polaris. Love the gazoo Porsche exhaust sound that picks up transgender in the slums. Ha!
I am a Slingshot owner. I love mine. My wife loves it. You get to have your opinion.
4:35 "She doesn't know any better!" - Funniest Rob quote in a while
Nice, liked the humour with the girl, topped off a fun video and liked that you didn't add her to your thumb nail as click bait.
popuptoaster Yeah. Anyone else the title would be "HOT GIRL WON'T GET IN MY SLINGSHOT (GONE SEXUAL)" and a picture of her ass as the thumbnail.
She was hot as hell too
This is pure locker room talk.
hahaha we're gonna defeat Isis
Ken bone doing gymkhana in this would be awesome.
hes moving on that slingshot like a bitch
If you own a Slingshot they'll let you do anything. You can kiss them, grab them by the crotch, even win elections. It's good to be a Slingshot owner.
No helmet and no license = living on the edge
Most GSXR riders anyway lol
Rob don giv a fuk
At least it isn't a stolen bike, and it is registered and insured.
superspeedersRob i don't think its insured if the driver has no license
It looks like you're driving a grand piano
it has the worst qualities of a motorcycle and a car...slow, miserable, hard to park
0-60 in 5.2, 1/4 mile in 13.7 is not out of this world quick
shameless types I have never had a bike that slow and I've had over 10 bikes. I've had 4 cars that were faster.
I've also raced one on my ZX14 and it was a joke.
It's 0-60 is about 5.2 seconds, which is slow for a bike.
Slow, miserable, and hard to park? I thought you were talking about my wife!
What are you trying to say? I have owned many VWs in the old days. I also have owned many a car that was faster then a VW bug. I have owned many bicycles. I have also owned many a motorcycle that was faster than a bicycle. I have ran on foot down the street faster than a weiner dog. What'the point?

It's an ugly ass looking vehicle that wants attention I've driven them and they handle like shit
I bet he would complain about debris and wind in his face riding a motorcycle too......
@@shrekinc.1719 Most "ugly" cars people dont want to ride in or take pics of....

But all motorcycles are garbage, and so are the idiots who ride them. I always try to run them over when I can.
Quickest way to piss off bikers is to even remotely consider this a motorcycle!! LOL
Take it from someone with experience. I have owned a Slingshot for two years, have taken many a ride with two wheelers, and also been welcomed into the fold. So Night Rider and Mike b, you have it all wrong.,
John Hand I bet youll be waiting on santa Clause to come down your chimney too LOL!
You are right. 17 more days till Santa comes.
John Hand it's considered a motorcycle due to safety reasons . To be classified as a car it would need bumpers airbags etc
*Night
but i see Harley trikes all the time (even at Sturgis). are they outcasts?
For the guy whose wife wont let him get a Harley for his midlife crisis.
Honestly you probably stand similar chances of dying if you crashed either this or the Harley. At least dying on a motorcycle sounds cooler than dying in a plastic three wheeler with a 4 cylinder engine made by Polaris.

too bad they didn't test the brakes for reliability and safety.
It's the automotive equivalent of walking around with an arrow through your head. It's not fun but it looks crazy and everyone stares at you.
Be honest. U want one
there's something so funny about rob reviewing a car he hates
was the scene with that chick scripted or just the perfect coincidence? killer homeless people you got there.
Of course it was just the perfect coincidence. The clip with her and the Porsche at the end proves it.
He should have had a sign that said "Not for you".
srivardhan karnic are u dumb or sarcastic
Probably his wife

"Hurrr durrr just get an Ariel Atom hurr durrr" Yeah, but an Atom is Porsche 911 money. Please at least compare apples to apples and not diamond encrusted gold plated apples.
atom is a cool car, but way over priced
it has a seatbelt, how is it considered a bike?
Tyler Schwartz That BMW bike with a roof had seatbelts!!!
Tyler Schwartz its not considered a bike, you only need a motorcycle license for a vehicle if your straddling it
It is a bike. Less than 4 wheels is legally considered a bike.
Autocycle. Laws changed.
Also has a very solid roll bar, two actually behind each rider.
I usually don't comment on stuff, but I actually disagree with nearly everything this guy is saying unfortunately.

I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed that you didn't throw her out of the Porsche.
I won't lie, I'd be surprise if he threw her out.
Rob is my favorite rich guy with a lot of cars on RUclips
Would be more cool if they had two wheels on the rear.
You can get a four wheel conversion.
Or an ariel atom or some other exocar.
now its a miata
wow didn't know about the conversion, looks much better with four wheels and probably performs better as well.
+Computer seriously?
I have recently purchased one of these.
All I can say is how rich and spoiled do you have to be to criticize this thing as this guy did.
When you look at demographics on people who will be buying one of these, this guy's disconnect is appalling.
How hard is it to have fun on one of these?
My wife and I have had an absolute BLAST on ours. She loves it and so do I. Best money we've ever spent period. So glad Polaris came out with these.
Perhaps if I was a spoiled douch-bag who test drives an $70,000-$80,000 T-Rexs I would be able to compare but thats not me nor thousands who will be in the market for one of these.
Again, its pretty easy to have fun on one of these. If you can't, it's your own fault.
I'll spend half as much and have just as much fun.
Hey Rob I think it is safe to say you don't like the Polaris
+Ozzstar it just doesnt make any sense. How do you justify the purchase?
"It's fun when you buy it" Hmm, if only you had some way to rent it out.
Yeah, way better cars to spend the $$$ on.
Exactly why I don't own one! I have cars and I have motorcycles with 2 wheels and I can keep my balance. haha No 'in between' vehicle like the Polaris for me. Take care man
superspeedersRob my boss has one and he says its fast but then again he sent his to get turboed and says it dynod close to 400 whp.... what do you think rob more power would make it better?
I like the added extras in the videos, it's good shit man.
Rob, who is the lady you picked up at the end of this clip? Very creative. She is gorgeous.
4:32 You ducked at a pothole.... LOL
+That Car Guy and possible rocks from a dump truck
good save lol
Its what he said in the vid.
So this is a cheap American copy of the Morgan 3 wheeler?
never go full Pony would seem so
never go full Pony Canadian
You know.. Canada is part of North America? And that North America and South America are America when you take them as one?
No, it's a copy of the campagna T-rex
never go full pony.
This is an over grown snow mobile on wheels.
I can't believe you are hating on fondue makers. Fondue is the best thing ever invented.
That hitchhiker skit was funny af.
What was the warning light for that came on halfway through the video? Looked like it appeared after you hit that bump!
It's definitely more of a car rather than a bike. It's got a steering wheel like a car, a stick shift like a car, pedals like a car, seat belts like a car, seats like a car. Nothing about this is a bike. More of a convertible car with one less wheel
These are the best car reviews on youtube. really honest and raw
When are the shirts being shipped?
should receive soon, email teespring for actual shipping details.
yeah, you must try my '97 Daewoo Tico 5 speed manual, I'm curious how much fun will you have with it
thank god its just his opinion. i love mine and my t-rex
A friend of mine has one and it's a hoot. It's Polaris's answer to the Can Am Spyder, albeit one where you can actually sit side by side.

Rob, going to vegas in july, do you have an agency there, or is there one you recommend ?
" whop Theres a big hole. And I forgot the tire in the middle and I slammed right into it anyways." Lol I played that over and over hilarious as hell.
Nice video rob, I liked all of the camera angles. Seems like you put some time into this video.
Keep up the good work Rob .
When are you gonna get a Ariel Atom? I'd like to see you review one of those.
could you tell me if this specific slingshot was in south east pennsylvania recently? i believe i seen it parked in my neighborhood lol
I agree, drove one a few weeks ago. Got on it fairly hard once I hit the first highway I could, went to go stop where I would normally turn around and had to almost pass it because the brakes just would not stop the car even though I had the pedal to the floor..
@superspeedersRob
What are your thoughts on a DB9?
Is it a car that i should set my sights on?
Here in Sweden it´s a three-wheeled bike, but can be driven on both a motorcycle- and/or car-driverslicense. Costs around 35000 USD.
Lol this video is comparable to the stupid truck one. Good job Rob!! 👍
Pretty entertaining video for a change. I liked the fondue maker analogy
Thanks for sticking through all my boring videos.
informative can't be boring for me, but some goofing around is always welcome! thanks for sharing
I know a few states are talking about classifying these as just cars or their own category. I think they will still somehow skirt the crash standards, though.
Rob, how is this compared to Morgan Threewheeler?
The hitchhiker part got me lol
What happened to the podcasts?
just don't the video versions on RUclips. They are up on shoutengine and itunes.
superspeedersRob whats the podcast called?
It's called Super Speeders
Good video Rob, nice structure and some comedy to it. Made me laugh, thanks for that.
Any reason they didn't make it with 4 wheels? Are there a lot more regulations they would have to address as a car? The rear of the car just kills the whole look.
thanks
A friend of mine has one. He just ordered a supercharger for it. Can't wait to see if that helps the so/so performance. And yes even stock it does wicked donuts.
"Yeah the brakes are atrocious....lets hit the highway"
lol
superspeedersRob is an excellent, professional and very insightful communicator. That's fucking unusual on RUclips.
nice touch with the hitchhiker
Hi rob did you go furniture shopping with the nice girl at the end of the video?
When u getting a viper acr 😜😜😝
had one, search my channel.
Rob Ferretti will do. probably seen it but forgot haha
Lol what a loser. Wasted his time impersonating Rob.. HAHAHAHA that's the saddest thing I've seen in a while LMFAO
oh well its not like its my life goal for him to respond to me or something lol
Isnt that Rob's second channel?
hey Rob, i live in Ontario, Canada. A law was just passed for the slingshot that you do not have to have a motorcycle license. you used to have to have a M license and a helmet. But i guess polaris settled with the government lol because having to have a motorcycle license was hurting the sales of the slingshot. Also the slingshot has a 2.4 GM Ecotec lmao
7:25 Lookin' good, Rob. I think you found your new daily driver. ;)
Rob why don't have any GTR's ??
I think he already made a review on them. And I think it didn't convince him.
he likes to drive cars, not computers.
Just not my type of car.
How many horses your vette kicks out ?
because he's an adult
YEEEEES!! I'm so glad you made a video bashing this thing...I absolutely hate them because of the fact that everyone who buys one is for attention. The slingshot isn't good at handling, and they aren't fast. People just buy them for the attention they get from people who don't know what they are and think that it is some expensive sports car when realistically they are like 20k.

WHERE DID YOU DRIVE IT TOYS A US
the other thing to mention, with three wheels its centre of gravity is very small. do a sharp turn too fast whilst driving, fronts wheels compensate; do a sharp turn too fast whist reversing, cars going to roll
The commentary cracks me up on every video hahaha
"She doesn't know any better" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The brakes being "bad" is an issue with the Delphi ABS module not being bleed properly at the factory.
The yellow Celica, it's not the first time I see it in the background of your videos right? Is it yours or one of your Friends?
Ian, get in.
Do I have to?
Yep.
My thoughts exactly.
It's considered a autocycle and most states now don't require a motorcycle endorsement and doesn't require a helmet in most states if you over 18.
I'm not sure if someone else mentioned it or not but there's a TSB/recall on those brakes. They have a specific bleeding process to fix it.
It can go from factory 174hp with the 2.4 Litre engine to 300hp with the Turbo or Supercharger kit of ALPHA for less than 5000$
These may not be very fun, but Polaris offroad products are incredibly fun. There's a reason we've had 5 of their Side x Sides
R8, 458, 430, or 911-Turbo.
Which car would be the best for value, maintenance, and resale out of the 4 choices.
'I think the only reason they list it as a motorcycle is to avoid crash testing it ...and that concerns me!!'
wow Rob that is such a true statement!!! i was wondering why it wasnt a "car" on spec sheets. anything with more than 2 wheelsis NOT a bike, its a toy. (at best)
Woops there's a big hole and I forgot the tires in the middle and I slammed right into it.!!! Lol
What was that last part about?
Is that thing boosted?
I have one, base model, and I like it a lot. Got it new, last years model close out for 16k. For me it’s like an old Triumph or MG, little convertible with no frills. I’m in Naples, FL so it’s a year round toy. My wife and I are at the age where 2-up on a bike wasn’t as fun as it used to be and this was a good solution for about the same money. Not making excuses, he makes some valid points. I will say this though... the windscreen makes a profound difference. I don’t think it would be wise to buy one without spending time in one first to have realistic expectations. I happen to fall into the niche it caters to and am very pleased.
I'd like to see what you think of an Ariel Atom
It's not a motorcycle. It's a go kart and it's pretty slick
Buy one so I can rent it! I want to see if I can get my ass kicked by every single person that sees me.
WHY ARE MOST REVIEWS WROTE BY MORONS
You get the sense Rob likes the "stupid" in the auto industry.
Rob, forget the Polaris and do a video on the Morgan 3-wheeler. In every video review I've ever seen, the driver literally giggles or laughs as they're driving it because it's so much fun. And, no motorcycle karma is involved.
basically the drive unit is the same as the non turbo solstice/sky . GM 2.4 with a 5 speed so no power awards will it be given but there are worlds of available options for it to get some better sound and power . that 22k for a stick shift 2.4 with abs , traction control , stability control and the media system with the revers camera , may seem like a bit much for a toy but have you priced out a decent bike lately ? I am very curious if they do a real revision of it where they should do something about the 2 biggest issues of it . One the brakes , that was mentioned . Two, the motor heat the generates into the passenger area something fierce. I am a motorcycle rider and one day I may find myself unable to ride so something "like this " would be appealing .
Is the Can-Am in the same class ?
That blonde though.. I may need to get an internship with you Rob haha.
Seen one today at a traffic light leaving work. It was a chrome redish orange with flakes in it, looks like it could be fun but I don't think i'd ever own one.
Rob getting Cinematic hiring a $20 hooker for 2 scenes.
Not a hooker. Way to be a dick.
Sorry man didn't mean to offend was just joking around. Love your videos!!
I love Rob's cynicism. Doug needs more of it, like in his recent Ghibli review.
Thanks for the M3! I am so happy I won!!!!!
7:54 Why u do this rob? Why?

I laughed so hard at this, especially the pothole part 😂😂😂
