Wow what a wide swath of opinons. I am more confused than ever! I negleted
to mention in my original post that the 550 is my little bike I also had a
87 Venture Royale 1300 v-4 that sadly went fubar ,but that and my Kawisaki
ZN1100b had the kind of power I am used to. I guess these V-twin cruiser
mills just don't put out like a Four cyl. Unless you go really big cubes
(Road Star,Vtx1800,Vulcan2000)
I'm keepin the maxim for now(13sec/98 MPH 1/4 mile)
Thanks for the help

I'd have to respectfully disagree. I have one, and I'm not a kid. It gets
a lot of time out on the highway & the expressway. No problems here.

Not quite.
I'm not a lard butt like a lot of the guys that complain about the power of
the bike either. I guess that could make a difference.
