Getting a 2014 R3T

[Cruzn6]

I rode the R3T for 5 yrs and now have a Roadster, The R3T was a more comfortable and smoother ride, and if I must be completely honest the I havent really noticed a huge difference in power and acceleration between the two, perhaps because of the torque difference? ... I do like the raw look of the Roadster over the R3T however.

I was considering doing the same thing assuming there was a real noticeable power difference in the Roadster. Guess I'll have to test ride it first, but I do love my R3T.......

There is a power difference in the two, but the dyno gods have proven that the right tune will even the playing field. Ride what you like, get it tuned to where you're happy

Thanks! She is heavy, about a 100 pounds more than my Classic.

One thing I have noticed is that I can't flat foot this one. I easily could on my classic. Not sure if its due to being new or the seat. The new seat is definitely wider and more padded than the one on my classic.

For mine I ended up replacing the rear suspension with Hagon Nitros HD (they have a regular version for the R3, but with the extra weight of the touring, a stiffer spring is needed) which lowered the beast an inch so I am able to flat foot it. It makes all the difference in the world for my enjoyment of this motorcycle. I was never much of a peg scraper so losing the bit of ground clearance wasn't an issue for me.
