On a recent trip to Gooseberry Falls, Minnesota I came across an unusual looking bike. In fact, I wasn’t sure it was classed as a motorcycle or a car. The rear looked like that of a car, featuring two wheels, a trunk and a car lighting configuration. As I looked at the interior, while it was open like a trike, it featured a car steering wheel. The front was neither a car or a motorcycle style, it looked more like a futurist kind of spacecraft.
After chatting with the owner for a short while it became clear as to what I was feasting my eyes on. It was a “Stallion”, manufactured by Thoroughbred Motorsports. The vehicle is classed as a trike and is about as comfortable as you can get for a motorcycle, complete with 5 speed auto transmission, pedal controls, air conditioning in front and rear, a Ford 2.3 litre engine giving 143 horsepower, this might be just the machine for those looking to stay comfortable on longer rides.

I would ride this vehicle. It looks good and safe.
I agree looks very safe and comfortable…
Does this thing carry the Walters Automatic transmission for motorcycles?
Tony, we don’t have much more information that written on their website at: http://www.motortrike.com i’d drop a note to them and see what they have to say. Thanks for reading!
No. Most parts are from a 2006-2007 Ford Ranger, hence it has the 5 speed automatic transmission.
I’m the owner of a 2009 Stallion.
Mechanically, it’s a Ford Ranger pickup; 2.3L Ford, Ford 5sp Automatic, Ford rear end. All warranty and service work done at a Ford dealer. Actually has a VIN that is recognized by Ford. Same power to weight ratio as a Mustang GT.
Drives very much like a sports car and VERY stable at 35 or 135.
So, my question is: Is it insured as a motorcycle or a car because of the ford rear end?
well? is it ???? —- insured as a motorcycle or a car??? cause of its ford rear end ??.-( you don`t show much of its interior, ) THAT`S OK I WILL SEE FOR MY SELF. HERE IN UPPER MI.
Oregon here. We license 3 wheels as a motorcycle. Check with your insurance agent.
