R3T ride vs R3R ride
I will say this, now everyone has me intrigued about a test run on our R3T's little brother!

We have a 1992 Honda Shadow which is our runabout bike.

But even on the back country roads I usually take the Triumph.

We will get to the dealer in a couple weeks when the rain stops and take a Roadster for a ride.

Thanks everyone!

God bless!!

I made the mistake of smacking the throttle shifting into second with my wife on the back. Pulled a nice wheelie. She hasn't ridden with me since.
Oops.

I'm sure you'll love the roadster. Its ridiculously fun.

I have ridden both a R3T and now own a R3T and have found the "small "back tyre on the T handles quicker on the twisties for me and holds the line better not wanting to stand up in the corners ,
the only drawback is tyre wear only getting 5000k out of the Metzlers may try an Avon next ,we are blessed on the Central coast of NSW with some great motorcycle roads including the Old Pacific Hwy a section of Hwy North of Hornsby that was Bi passed years ago with a Freeway with some magnificent corners and although heavily Policed has become a Mecca for Motorcyclists and has 3 roadhouses that have almost only motorcyclist patrons a great meeting place to meet both new and old friends always someone to have a coffee with and a chat,
 
I own both a 2012 roadster and 2014 touring (well pick it up this week to replace the 2013 touring I had) they are diff in so many ways but both great bikes I do not see the touring as a hot dog Mobil as they are very close in times in the quart mile drag strip is 4 miles from my house and if set up right they preform in a strate line the same but will say I still like the touring better just got a hell of a deal on the roadster and could not pass it up but if there was no touring I would gladly ride the roadster all day

Torque, just so I understand, that wheelie was an ACCIDENT, right?
