stallion vs goldwing trike again

[geraldlanc]

For those of you who have ridden both, which is more comfortable at highway speeds, and it looks like the driver is sitting below the windshield, so how is visibility in the rain?

Really both you are looking thru the shield. Visibility is great on both. The big difference is the amount of body work around you. It is a false sense of security but my wife likes it with her stallion. The automatic is a big plus also for her. They both are very comfortable machines. My wife has 50k plus on hers in almost 5 years. Last year a 7500 mile trip in 31 days and not a whimper out of her to being uncomfortable with a stock seat.

I would have to say it is about the same on the windshield issue, I had the Tulsa windshield on my 1800 Wing which I looked Through the same as I do with the Stallion. I have ridden in heavy rain and the rain rolls over the windshield edge the same and drips on you, but your feet don't get wet on the Stallion because there is no road spray. I would say that driving the Stallion is more comfortable than the Wing having no shoulder fatigue or hand numbness from gripping the bar, I just feel more relaxed. That"s just my opinion..:Shrug:

I would have to agree with both Ted and Jeff. I have rode long days on both and feel less worn out with the Stallion. My wife gives a big ‘thumbs up’ on the back seat of the Stallion. She feels so much more secure with the wrap around seat, sitting low (out of the elements) and able to stretch her legs out straight.

IMHO we went to bike week Daytona and tried everything from Harley Davidson to Boss Hoss to New & Used Honda's etc. When we test rode the Stallion the looking was over. Then it was time to find a dealer who would take a H.D. Ultra Classic in trade. Found one in Great Bend Kansas and have never looked back. The Stallion is the Best we have found. We liked the honda but no forward controls for feet. No complaints with the stallion. :10::wave4:

I had a 1500 Goldwing before I got my Stallion and my wife and I was very comfortable on the Goldwing. I also had a Tulsa windshield on it and I really can't tell any difference looking through it and the windshield on the Stallion. I do have some trouble with the windshield fogging up in the rain when I'm riding up in the mountains. I'm not as tired after a long day of riding on the Stallion as I was on my Goldwing but you didn't hear me complaining because I was just happy to be able to be out riding. No matter what anyone says, both bikes are comfortable and both will give you many years of happy riding.:10:

We have had both. 2005 Goldwing trike was traded for 09 Stallion. 6 months and many reliabity issues later, Stallion was traded for 09 Goldwing trike, which we ride today. My preference is the wing for many reasons.:Shrug:
