I'll agree with the guy, my Rocket won't beat my Speed Triple thru the twisties, but that doesn't mean it won't handle the job ridden to the bike's limit. If you want a naked sport bike then the Rocket isn't it. My Thruxton R would probably run away from my Rocket on Tail of the Dragon too (311 curves in 11 miles), but all three are fun in their own way.

My Speed Triple RS:

I don’t expect the R3R to be a sport bike, my concern is pegs scratching too easily. The guy scratches almost every turn, low speed also.

Welcome aboard, I have never scrapped my pegs yet, (knock on wood) but like you, not an aggressive rider. Should be good to go.
