2022 Slingshot LE

Not something that I will be buying. I could buy two low mileage Slingshot's for that price. OH! I have two already. I think I would buy me a used Corvette for that money,
-
And it's not supercharged!!

At this point if you want boosted it would seem you will need a Slingshot with the good old Ecotec engine. Not sure what the future holds and I am sure Dave@DDMWorks has much more insight than I do, but I haven't heard of anyone offering a boosted setup for the new Polaris motor yet or even if anyone is working on it.

I'm with you on that. My 2016 SL listed for $20K (factory demo model with 4K miles and factory warranty) which is about the same as the touring bike I was looking at back then (I was moving into the "old man bagger" phase of life). In the end the SS and the bagger checked many of the same blocks - comfortable seating, storage, wind/weather protection when riding, sound system, etc. The deciding factor was my wife was never fully comfortable on the back of a bike, but she LOVED riding in the SS when I took my neighbors SLR out for a spin. I think she decided which option "we" were going with before I got to the end of our street... Polaris is inching that price point higher and higher on these which will price it out of the range of a lot of buyers in the end. Just my 2 cents.
-
on the bright side - the more they jack up the price for buying new the more value they add for those selling used - - seems to me that right now used 1015's and 2016's are selling for more than they were in 2017 and 2018.

Just pulled up a page that shows prices... Still get into a base model for under $20,000.00
Compare 2022 Slingshot SL (polaris.com) -

Compare 2022 Slingshot SL (polaris.com)yes - that's what they say, but are they actually selling for that? - - my local dealer Malcolm Smith used to have their inventory on line with the prices - when I looked just now they no longer show prices - they want to to "request a quote"
I belong to several Facebook slingshot groups and it seems that some people are having a hard time finding what they want in stock and are getting the prices all jacked up by many of the dealers and many are also paying petty good prices (for the seller) for used

Late 2014 and early 2015 and thru the Summer of 2015 there was a 8 week ++ for a Slingshot and there was only a choice of a base (gray) or SL (red) now with all the options people want the dealers are trying to order what the buyer wants....so you WAITE. Some dealers have always put lots of $$.$$ for paperwork and stuff. My dealer has always had minimal up charges.

Have to admit I do like the teal "R" manual model. Comes with the ECU tune upgrade (203 HP) and higher RPM limit. Stereo and interior upgrades. 305 rear tire. Love the new hood. Many more upgrades. For now, holding on to what I have but would like to see one in person.
-
Nice looking ride and what doesn't cost more now days. Besides who need more power. They have more power stock then the rear tire can handle.

Looks like they repurposed the 2020 GT wheels for this one
-
got to say I am not a fan of the new hood. It just doesn’t do anything for me
-
Interesting that the lower cost units don't have the new hood.
-
Interesting to go into the Polaris Slingshot site and build a new unit.
2022 Slingshots (polaris.com) not ready to buy but interesting to see what they are doing. Looks like Polaris only wants to build for an individual and not for showroom. -

I agree but I'm kind of addicted to the supercharger. If they come out with a boosted version I would not pay the price. But the teal is gorgeous, at least in pictures.

The new hood is my favorite part
