I should forward this to my neighbor with the project 914. Maybe it will kill him.

My brother-in-law had a 914. Total piece of crap. He bought it because it was a "Porsche".
And because he was a doctor and smarter than everyone else.

The 916 (very rare) would be more interesting.

At least you can hack up a 914 and feel no guilt.

Just a VW at heart.

My first house was only $61K.

I feel like this bike is Harley's admission of "oops, maybe we shouldn't have been so quick to discontinue the XR".

I like it though. Will definitely have to make my way to a dealer to see it when they get one.

Between the two, I'd rather have the Spyder. I feel like after a while, the Slingshot wouldn't feel a whole lot different than driving a stripped down car. I could be wrong, just my thoughts.

If you're going to have two front wheels, you might as well go all out and get an Ariel Atom.

Strictly two wheels for me, baby.

Those things do look cool but mostly over priced toys.

They way I like to ride is probably best suited to some kind of sport tourer (my favorite probably being the BMW R1200RT) but I just can't quit the the stripped down, retro style bikes.

I could see them filling a niche for people who for some reason don't want to or are physically unable to operate a two-wheeled motorcycle. They are still going to be much more fun and efficient than any car and still provide that free, open air experience you get from a bike.
