Hey Bobbyg,
Triumph produced this model specifically to go after the Road King crowd. I took a look at it when I bought my R3 Standard. The new tourer has a smaller tank, narrower back-end, is longer and heavier that the standard. It did indeed go to a single headlight and they removed the tachometer and put the speedo on the tank. WHich is kind of cool but to have sacrificed the tach was a big mistake IMHO. They also used the same engine but has fewer HP and greater torque.
Cool stuff though, the hard bags are really nice and they come standard with the rear crash bars. The windscreen is a quick release type which is a huge bonus in my view.
All in all it's a nice bike but if I wanted a Road King I would have bought a Road King.
Cheers,
Karl
