The Sun lineup is sort of the Huffy of the recumbent world. I realize that's not a fair comparison in terms of quality, but it is in terms of performance. Suns are heavy, heavy, heavy! And tend to have lower-end componentry, too. But they're put together well, and while the parts are low-end, they're not junk. These bikes make great starter bents, because price is a big hurdle for that first one. But from what I've seen, a lot of riders will outgrow them in a year or two and want to move up to a more serious machine. A TourEasy is definitely a more serious machine, albiet from the same mold. The good thing is, there's always more newbies looking for entry-level bents; so selling it shouldn't be a problem when the time comes.

Moving onto to another machine doesn't imply that a bike is bad, either. Some fickle recumbenteurs will get a new bike every year or so, just for the change. Right Larry???
