I have riden the classic last year and bought this tourer on the basis that it was designed for my means.The shop will tune it to whatever as they have mapping available..however it has all the power I need,love not h aving to gear down for passing and runs great on 87 octane..a while before it pays for itself(?)but convenient when purchasing fuel.I will let you know the difference when exhaust and k&n are fitted soon...waiting for accessories...the classic will not handle as well in corners and parking lots..places I go.The removable windshield and bags are a plus and work well.I do not regret this purchase and I gaurantee that none of you will regret yours!!


life is good..I am retired..sold my America in 2008,bought a Rocket and sold that in 3/2013 and now own a new Triumph Bonneville T-100
