Babbitt's Joining Forces with AMA Pro Flat Track Rider Bryan Smith

K Veelen June 17 2015

Babbitt's Online is Joining Forces with AMA Pro Flat Track Rider Bryan Smith

Direct from Kawasaki: AMA Pro Flat Track

Kawasaki rider Bryan Smith has been on fire as of late, winning the last three AMA Pro Flat Track races, including X Games Austin, where he was crowned the first-ever flat track gold medalist and Sammy Halbert tucked in behind Smith on his Kawasaki Ninja® 650 powered machine to take the silver medal, giving Kawasaki a 1-2 finish.

Smith has made each race a nail biter as he has battled his Kawasaki Ninja 650 to the top spot of the podium in spectacular fashion winning at the one-mile tracks in Springfield and Sacramento this season. Watch for the No. 42 of Smith to try and make it four in a row as the AMA Pro Flat Tack series slides through Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland, Saturday, June 20th.

Recently Kawasaki re-entered AMA Pro Flat Track through its world-renowned contingency program for any racer running a Kawasaki, including a KX™450F in the singles competition. The racers asked and Kawasaki answered by posting more than $75,000 in contingency in the GNC1 class, offering racers rewards MasterCard that can be redeemed at more than 32 million locations worldwide and daily deposits into an online account after every competition.

K Veelen March 09 2015

POLARIS® UNVEILS LIMITED EDITION SLINGSHOT®

AT DAYTONA BIKE WEEK

NEWS RELEASE: MINNEAPOLIS, MN (March 7, 2015) – After unleashing the much buzzed about Slingshot®, Polaris® debuts the most exclusive Slingshot® yet at Daytona Bike Week today. Delivering on the same high-octane experience, the limited edition Slingshot® SL LE is packed with head-turning features including striking Nuclear Sunset Orange coloring throughout. This sharp 3-wheel roadster is also equipped with dual windscreens and an interior LED white and blue lighting package for an exhilarating nighttime driving experience.

“The public response to Slingshot has been phenomenal and the head-turning exhilaration it delivers is in high demand,” said Mike Jonikas, Vice President of Slingshot. “We are offering Slingshot fans the chance to be one of just a few to own the exclusively striking Slingshot SL LE. We encourage you to see and experience it for yourself.”

The unique Slingshot® experience includes:

• A low, wide stance which lets you feel the rush of pavement under the seat
• An open-air cockpit for a 360-degree rush of sight, sound and smell
• A shared riding experience allowing both the driver and passenger to get a front row shot of adrenaline
• Optimized weight distribution and proprietary low-profile tires for maximum cornering
• Lightweight and powerful, the Slingshot delivers exhilarating acceleration

Slingshot® Trim Levels:

Slingshot® is now offered in three distinct trim levels for a limited time only. The base Slingshot® with a U.S. MSRP of only $19,999 features titanium metallic paint, 17 inch lightweight alloy wheels upfront and an 18 inch wheel in the rear. The premium Slingshot® SL, with a U.S. MSRP of only $23,999 features red pearl paint, larger 18 inch forged aluminum wheels upfront and a 20 inch wheel in the rear, as well as a blade windscreen for wind protection. It also features a media console with a 4.3” LCD screen, back-up camera, Bluetooth® integration and a 6-speaker audio system. The Slingshot® SL LE offers all of the same upgrades as the Slingshot® SL, but on top of that will include a striking Nuclear Sunset Orange color covering parts of the body, interior, coil springs and aluminum swing arm. It is equipped with dual windscreens and offers an interior LED lighting package with both white and blue lighting for an exhilarating nighttime driving experience.
