A fellow I know rides a Sprint. He had an older one and now has a new one. Loves it, but he's British, so what does he know?
The bike is lighter than the 14, and good, not great ( 900 CC I believe), power and a more aggressive riding position - that would rule me out. He bought an older Trophy, thinking it would be better for touring. He found it heavy and no power so he sold it quick. Don't know about the new ones, but you won't find one cheap.
