    Doc:

    Vin 100? to 150? or somewhere in that area, as far as Vin numbers go, were the first 50 built in 2007. They were the first deliveries to their then dealer network as Demo,s and were made with fiberglass bodies. Then in 2009 when the plastic bodies came out, the factory got some of those demos back and rebuilt them with the plastic body for training, test fitting etc of the new body before they sold the new Stallions with them. The re-bodied plastic demos were sent back out to the dealers as demo's again but eventually they got sold.

    There is a very good chance that VIN 101 maybe the first Stallion built for distribution that was not a prototype. I have not heard of a lower VIN number yet.

    My wifes Stallion was 175 built in February of 2008 and was among the first delivered to customers. They started deliveries in Oct/Nov of 2007 to customers after the demo's were built.

    They were only able to build 3 to 4 a week because that is all the molds they had to lay the bodies up in.

    The body layup was extremely time consuming.

    My wife and I visited the factory in the summer of 2008.

    I'm pretty sure my facts are somewhat accurate because I got them from the manager of the Factory owned Dealership in Daytona and from Jeff Vay the owner of TBMS. We made our original purchase of VIN 175 in October of 2006 when all they had was a rolling prototype. It ran but you could not adjust the mirrors, the front nose piece did not open because the whole section was one piece. The suspension was limited but my wife loved it.

    It would be nice for you if your 101 was the first. The fact that it has a plastic body tied the information I had together as I was told it. It did originally have a fiberglass body because plastic bodies started in the mid 400 range and year 2009. I have not tried to pin down the first plastic body VIN that was not a reconstructed demo. My wifes current Stallion is 406 which is also fiberglass.

    Enjoy

    I have #142. It was an early customer delivery, never used as a demo, therefore it was not rebodied with plastic.

    when i bought it from a friend of mine here in Fla., they had told him, he would have to wait to pick it up till after it had gone back to the factory . He waited 3 months for it , As it was the factory Demo and was on display only at Dayton Beach less 500 miles on it it was never titiled till he bought it and he was told a that time it was the first ABS ( or at lest that what he had told me ) , i had called Rich at TMS due to the air not working and he recomfirmed that it was the first..and that all the new updates had been done on it..

    What you are told probably is correct. The factory owned dealership did have a demo that color. I rode it several times. That dealership was closed by the factory. Makes sense they would use it first in the re-boding of the trike. But I also believe it might be the first Stallion made after the prototypes. That would be super cool. What was the date it was first titled? If sometime in 2009 it all fits.

    That would work also. I know Jeff was wanting to get the plastic bodies in production as soon as possible. The laid up fiberglass was costing alot and eating profits. So he very well may have been popping the first bodies out by the last of 2008. Our current Stallion 406 is fiberglass and is titled an "08". Don't know the actual build date, but we bought it in May of "09" in Georgia. Our first Stallion 175 had a bad wiring harness while we were on a trip it gave out. We could not wait the 2 weeks for them to fix it so we traded it in. They did fix 175 and its still running around Georgia area somewhere.
