I think I’ll leave most of the comments alone, preferring @atomsplitter ‘s explanation.
On another note I went to Triumph’s Best of British tour in Toronto last night and was really impressed by the new R3. Superb fit and finish too.
Ya I know what you mean. I thought about it still am. But I'm thinking I think I'll wait a bit to how many goodies become available after a bunch jump ship spare parts and prices might go down. And well I like horse power and right now they haven't even worked out tuning access yet. Hope the computers are better at adapting especially with guys wanting to yank the exhaust from the header back without making fueling changes. I see tuning stuff comming for it though.
