Meh, it's not like 100+ bhp is uncommon these days. You get that kind of performance (in a straight line) from a cruiser too. And V-twins sound like tug boats, sorry. My favorite tug boat is a late 90s TL1000R. And comparing it to my fav late 90s ZX7R (I like the 90s...) it's really no contest. Even when comparing it to, lets say, a Ducati 1198 which is really beyond Visage pay grade.

The nicest tugboat of them all:

Not a tugboat:

Like I said, the power in those two is pretty much what is expected of a modern cruiser. I bet you're just pissy cause your first bike was laughed at [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
