Are you only considering cruisers?
Thanks! I'm of the same mind.

Yeah, I'm really not a sport bike enthusiast, nor do sport tourers really spin my wheels. I like cruising the sweepers and looking at the scenery more than burning up the road, but I do want enough initial torque & HP to keep up with my friends' Harleys and Magnas and the like off the line, so a bigger engine is a must.

Check the avatar. I got a can't-beat deal on that one's twin brother.

Incredible power, especially moving up from a 650! Now I just have to convince my wife that the mods are necessities.

Ever try the Kawasaki Vulcan 900? It's pretty cheap, comfy (subjective) and good on power.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
