Probably still have base at reasonable price?

Yes, 21,499

I think before I would spend 40k on this Slingshot, I would look at a MX5 Grand Touring.. About the same bucks, but faster, handles better and has a bunch more stuff for the buck.

I feel judged...

Here come da judge... Here come da judge.... (just kidding)

Quote from Batcycle

Already done that with a 2019 Miata and Not the Same as the Slingshot???

I know... but just as much fun with the top down... I believe... Plus:

No exhaust fumes, angle drive noise, can talk to passenger without yelling, can ride in the rain with no problems, has heater and AC... can shift or be in auto mode, I could go on.... but I love my Slingshot too....

I would agree with you about more practical a MX 5 or BMW Z series..

But then it would not be a Odd 3 wheeler that draws the attention as Slingshot or Vanderhalls Do..

The only reason I own them is very few have them...

Even the new C8 Corvette OMG how many are out there already..

But never do I pass a 3 wheeler but 10 times out of a year..

Even at 71 I Wish I could be more Sensible but No still want Odd Vehicles..LOL

You are right..... When I got my first Can-AM Sypder it was the same way... everyone wanted to know what it was... (2011). I couldn't stop at a gas station without several people coming up and looking and commenting... That is why I bought my first Can-Am because I wanted something different... I had 4 Spiders all told, and this is my 2nd sling and got my first motorcycle in 1969 (Bridgestone 175), Harley's, Honda's (I really liked their 1800 Geldings), Kawasaki's, the first thing I ever had (bought by my dad who rode, was a moped (1966), when I was out of gas I could pedal it.... I love them all...

I was just commenting not about practicality, but for bang for the buck....

Daughter still has her 2008 can am spyder. First of 2,500 ordered.

I was doing way more touring back then and they didn't come out with the RT until 2010 (and it had quite a few issues) ... and in 2010 it was basically the same as the RS with more plastic... I waited until 2011 so they worked out some kinks... That one left me stranded a couple times because of electrical problems...

I put over 60k on the 2012 RT and the best thing they did was in 2014 they did kind of what Polaris did in 2020 changed the RT over 70%, new motor, trans, brakes, shocks, and the styling a bit.

That Machine was awesome well over 75K in the 4 years I had it... (I was still working at that time).. Had a 2018 for a bit before I got bit by the Slingshot....
