Man, maybe I missed something but the CW review gave the R3 12 more HP and 30 more ft/lbs of torque over the Victory plus a higher end speed in the 1/4 mile and it just flat out walloped the HD in every category. That doesn't sound like retuning for torque was detrimental.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
