Tater, My wife has a Stallion and my daughter has a 97 GL1500 Wing with a California Side Car conversion. I have extensively riden both of them. They are 2 VERY DIFFERENT ANIMALS. My wife would not get on a bike, trike etc, until she found the Stallion 2 years ago when it was just a little more than a dream. We ordered her one and waited 18 months to get it. She absolutely loves her Stallion. Since she picked it up March 9th she has put 7k miles on it. What she likes about it that lets her enjoy it, is a little bit of body work around her and she feels a little more secure because of it. The automatic with a normal reverse for her is great. She likes the steering wheel, but that would not have been a deal breaker if it had a set of handle bars. It drives like a trike. You have to get the hang of the cross winds etc. It steers very easy. With the 2300 cc Ford engine it will tow just about anything. The limiting factor for towing for the Stallion will be the attachment to the frame. It is very well built so within reason I would not hesitate to attach most any load. I have riden with her as a passanger besides her with me and it is comfortable in both positions. Being a new product you will have to add alot of your own accessories. They are coming though.

The Goldwing is a fine trike. It also has reverse but it is an electric motor so you want to be careful with it. Towing is limited. A normal motorcycle type trailer is not a problem, but any thing above that would be something to think about. The Goldwing is a very establish brand and has just about anything available for it from multiple sources. The ride is very good but does verify depending on the conversion used. I believe the Stallion is more powerful. The Wing steers very well when it has an ez-steer installed. I have not riden one without ez-steer though. The Wing and the Stallion both streer close to the same as far as the effort required.

The bottom line is the Stallion is a ground up build as a trike. There are no compromises made to make it a trike. If you get a chance just take a look at the triple trees to see the quality in the build. The frame is just as well built. It is very well put together and is a dream to ride. The down side is that it is new and add ons are going to be slow coming or you have to make the adaptions yourself.

The Wing is an established bike and the brand conversion will make a difference in ride. Both will tow well. If you are a traditional type person you might look more towards the Wing. If you are a little bit outgoing, like attention and answering alot of questions the Stallion is a very good choice. For my wife the illusion of the body work is the deciding factor.

I hope this helps some what. I love them both, but I am building my own Harley Road Glide with a Champion conversion for myself. It will be my version of a SCREAMING EAGLE trike. Ted
