There is very little meaningful 'upgrades' of the R1 and r2, unless you take yours to the track.

Even then, most of the items are added to my touring anyways, including strut bar, ugraded aftermarket springs and shocks, Sparco Carbon/Roadster seats.

The R1/2 does have an extra oil cooler, but that's not too difficult to add, and come stock with the lip spoiler and rear trunk spoiler. Again, those things can be added, and were a dealer option so you might find Tourings with them.

Someone else earlier pointed out that R1/2s have a front brake cooling duct intergrated with the front lip. You can get a much more effective unit (at least thats what is said) here: http://www.crookedwillow.com/brakes.htm

Touring has the xtras of a sunroof, Bose sound system, cruise, extra sound deadening, and other small things at a penalty of 62 lbs.
