I think the 'Tour' produces it's peak about 500 rpm lower in the rev range and also picks up about 500 rpm earlier, it's the better all rounder of the 2.
I'm building 2 RB20s, I'll be using a Dellorto VSHB 34 and using the Franspeed 'Race' pipe as a race bike, the other one will be for road use with Mikuni TMX27 and Franspeed 'Tour' pipe.
If I remember correctly when they did the exhaust comparison tests in Scootering a while back that the Franspeed Race was the test winner, not sure if the 'Tour' pipe had been developed at that stage. The Tour will pull slightly taller gearing because it produces power lower in the rev range.
