New TB BB or Rocket Tourer

I do not know where I should put this but what bike is more powerful and which is more comfortable for the long haul?

Any model of R2 is stronger, and the other question is 100% subjective. Which do YOU like more.

wow at first I thought you were joking about the power question or at least I hope you are You can check the stats on the Triumph web site if you want hard #'s The R3 and the R3T have a little different stats but there both still 2300cc vs BB Kit 1700cc

As far as cumfort go's can't help ya there cause its all up to you.

Or wait for the new Rocket III Roadster, a streetfighter version of the Rocket. Torque has been bumped up to 165lbs and an undisclosed increase in HP. You sit more forward and have mid pegs instead of the attempted cruiser ergos that never did seem to fit the original Rocket.

There are lots of reasons far more important than power in choosing a bike though. Define what sort of riding you want to do and we might be able to offer some better help.
