Engine difference 08 thru 13 R3 Touring

[John Dough]

Hello everyone,
I am actively seeking a rocket. What are the differences between the Rocket Touring models over the last several years? Engine tuning different? Any other differences and/or improvements. They do not appear to be any different other than the introduction of ABS.

to be clear, I fully understand the roadster vs. touring engine differences. What I'm trying to understand is the evolutionary updates (if any) regarding the touring model over the year models

I currently have a VN2000 classic,
Thanks for your input!

Buy 09 or newer for the latest tranny updates

All engines are the same, but there have been tranny improvements, as warp said.

wow, I wasn't aware. Were the trans update related to reliability or just gear ratio or other?

Reliability. Upgrades in part design and machining.
