The smaller engines you talk of are typically turbo or supercharged (in some cases both, VW 1.4 Twin Charger for example) to boost power levels up to those of the larger engines they've replaced. However real world testing opposed to strict lab testing has shown these engines to be worse in emitting emissions. Small bike engines that are naturally aspirated should be fine for the time being.
Take a quick CX 500 ( maybe even a turbo) to "wipe the floor" - with this 'stock' Sporty..

Funnily enough Moto Guzzi never entered into those U.S. mag showdowns... I wonder why?
(To be fair, I'd reckon H-D did likely examine the CX - as an example of a V-twin pushrod 4V design)..
Who buys a bike to go in a straight line?
Oh that's right, Harley riders
This guy might disagree...

...all kinds of blokes on sportys or big blocks could give a learn to hot shots on other things with quicker steering, and the other shit that makes a sport bike, the demon thingy...some people,before massaging their balls on a forum, should check whether they have any first... your honda cervix, Revhead is just a thing that you choose to screw...sick cunt...
If you search youtube, 'hildo's harley' you;ll find a clip where a RAT chop fucks over a sportbike 3 times off the line.... much to the angst of the sprotty owner. A big V-twin will launch over a short distance faster.
Guzzi had no reason to enter those 'shoot outs' ducati didnt either, or laverda.

But they still got whipped by the Brits, let alone the Kawasakis.. see below

Funny thread.
Look - the HD compressor is what it is and sells zillions of machines to happy riders.
It's upgraded.
About fucking time.
Ride it as you will.
Avoid it as you will.
I did view a seriously kick arse one last weekend. F-in cool looking ride. Hot-rod SE engine. Will go like fuck between coffee stops/bars/strip joints.
At 51 I am not old enough for a HD yet......
H-D's are not my thing, though IMO - due respect for the well presented machines - even if for every good 'un, there
are bulk genre stupidities too..
I still enjoy shutting the would be performance bikers down on a seemingly 'tiny' - but waspish - 2T though..
A bit like how wasps prey on tarantulas, unexpected but real, & so gruesome for the arachnid...
