Exactly. I know the Sam can carry a load but does Riv consider it a loaded tourer? The LHT is. And if the Appaloosa is intended as a loaded tour bike then yeah I'd choose it over the LHT, even if it's a budget Sam I'd choose it over the Trucker. You just know that Riv will come up with a great riding bike.
