It's different alright. Looks similar to the T-REX and it would probably be a blast to DRIVE but to me it's not a motorcycle based vehicle - just because it has three wheels does qualify it as a trike I guess - but you sit IN it, and it has a STEERING WHEEL and from other articles  and information I've seen it even has a FOOT CONTROLS for all functions, so IMHO that makes it a CAR. Even if the Federal DOT classifies it as a motorcycle due to the three wheels.

Morgan inspired perhaps?

OMG!  I only hope it's better looking in person than in pictures.  How does a company that did such a great job with Indian motorcycles come up with such an abomination?

I may have missed something, but the article says nothing about Victory.  Is this going to be part of the Victory line?  They're calling it a Polaris.  I wonder if it's a reaction to Can Am's so-so successful Spyder?  If so, Cam Am shouldn't be worried.

Having 200 hp and the weight in the range of 1500 lbs (my guess), it should go like a scalded cat!  With a power-to-weight ratio like that, it should be a blast to ride.  With the boom in side-by-side sales, one would think think adding a fourth wheel, a foot of suspension travel all around, knobbiest, and a roll cage would turn this into the market's hottest side-by-side,

Looks like a Spyder that had a bad allergic reaction to something and got all puffy.
