What has Triumph done to lower power in tour compared to classic?

[Terminater]

Hello,
I have a classic, and I am looking at a tour model now. I would like to know what triumph has done to decrease the power output?
Is it a tune?
Is it internal motor?
What can you do to restore the fun power?

It's a tune.. and the exhaust system. Power can be restored

Put in a Carpenter 240 kit

...or their 210 kit: Carpenter Racing

Trust me on this, either one will bring you closer to Nirvana!

Just tune and air flow... motors are the same.

I thought they increased the power output(more torque) and decxreased the HP.
Now are you racing then you want the HP or are you cruising then you want more torque, question questions questions

It depends on what kind of racing. If you want to go fast its HP. If you want to get to fast, fast, torque is what you want.

I like the.38 mpg I am getting. Put the tune kit in and ues, more omph, but you sacrifice mileage on trips....touring. IMHO

 

[TriumPhil]

The Carpenter 240 kitted motor will yield 40+ mpg provided that you don't twist the funwick too often or too hard. The mechanical upgrade components of the kit provide a far more efficient running machine over stock!

That's correct. The R3T has less hp, but it bit more torque than the Standard or Classic. The Roadster has more of both. I've ridden the Standard and Classic plenty and owned a R3T and, Frankly, there really isn't that much difference in them. Every one of them will pretty much slaughter anything on the road through the gears. After that, pretty much any ****** rocket will slaughter them.
