Interesting to read all the comments about the R-3 tourer..I just returned from Baker City Rally..1200 miles in 4 days..on my new R-3 tourer.torque is essentially awesome and full throttle close to an impossibility on the highway..traveling at 60 and wishing to pass takes 3 seconds or less to 80..took it to 90 once and was stable..average 40 miles on 10% ethanol and wants to cruise at 70-75..ordered out exhaust and remap will increase h/p but wont need it..at 2300 cc,106 h/p,torque at 2000 rpm..whats not to like about the bike???Entirely different from the classic..only shares engine/tranny..complete different frame and set up..manuevers well but think where you park..my registration shows 788 lbs,not the 866 lbs listed in CycleWorld article..will put on scale soon to find out but its heavy and more bike than I need..."Go your own way but go triumphantly"
