Yes Ponters you can get the same monster power or enough to make it like a Standard/Classic/Roadster out of the touring. Its all ECU mapping and of course the other goodies like pipes and intake.
Agreed a CT has more reciprocating weight but perhaps more reason to go darkside. I am still often getting spooked by loss of traction on the new R3R (that has of course an infamous Mezzler on it). There is no comparison with respect to the traction between it and my standard with a 245 Falcon. Trying to get the Mezz to hook up is very difficult. Almost impossible to get the front wheel up without breaking it loose. Of course, we are all creatures of habit. But, I can't get used to the Mezz even though I have put close to 4K on it. It is wearing though and looking forward to changing it out for a new "proper" tire .
It would be very interesting to look at the camshaft specs on ALL year models of the R3's from start to present. Triumph claims the touring camshaft is the same grind as the roadster. I wonder. If I remember correctly, my dealer looked up the part numbers and states the R3T and the R3R cams used a different part number,,,,,?
