Returning to the "motorcycle" frame of mind, with any new modifications, Polaris still needs to keep the SlingShot within it's weight restrictions to continue to have the freedom to manufacture the SlingShot as a motorcycle..............
Also, with any design or cosmetic change comes the added penalty of having to produce, and stock, those additional parts, then what happens to the overall cost?

I agree with Bill on the weight issue. I think the biggest challange with offering an automatic transmission will be the additional weight over the manual. If they had to put in a smaller battery to stay within the weight limits no telling what would need to be redesigned for the additional weight of the auto trans.
