(Reply to Spinovious) The Trek is actually set with a more upright riding position. And it's lighter, but not by a bunch.. The aluminum frame of the Trek is bone jarring over the rough roads as opposed to the Moto- whose steel frame seems to soak up vibration pretty good. The Armadillo tires are a hand me down that I tried on the Trek first with epic failure. They felt on the Trek like solid rubber- after installation on the Moto they are much more tolerable, it's like a perfect marriage of bike and tire.


I love 'em both in their own way!
