I think this would be the *perfect *replacement for the ubiquitous LHT. In my experience, most people w/ a Trucker use it as a commuter/all-rounder rather than a touring bike. This would be a better looking if not better performing alternative!!! As long as that price point can be held, it is a game-changer. It definitively needs at least one set of bottle mounts though.
