Why do the large crusiers (1000cc+) have such low hp and torque values? Can they not get more power out of the typical V twin?

I think the word 'cruiser' might be a bit of a clue for you.

Jeremy Clarkson summed it up pretty much when he was slagging off american cars. He was reading the brochure on some newly released car with a 4.6L engine that produced "a whopping 100kw of power" (exaggeration but you get my drift)
Yanks are good at getting tiny hp out of huge engines.
Europeans and Japs are good at getting huge hp out of tiny engines.
Dunno why. Just the way it is.

In the states the first thing the guys do with the 1400 intruders is rip out the air boxes re-jet the carbs and put aftermarket pipes on them,they call it uncorking.The 1400 comes alive after these mods,no where near sportbike performance but alot better than stock.Most cruisers will respond well to mods like these but it all depends what you,re after, one of the guys in the Triumph owners club here in wanganui did the same thing to his speedmaster which improved it no end.Cheers.

Not really crusiers are they.
I was thinking of getting one (sick of sportsbike riders trying to be the fastest thing since rossi....) but it seems to me to be a big waste I mean the kawa vn2000 only gets 100hp? 2L and 100hp? I was thinking there must be a reason why its so small?

Did someone say contradiction?

It's not cruisers per say, but the engineering behind the engine design that goes into the bike. There are plenty of stock factory Japanese v-twin engines which achive respectable torque & horsepower figures but those engines are designed for v-twin sports bikes like the SV and TL.
Likewise I understand the Buells produce good figures and there are plenty of aftermarket HD clone engines which are better engineered than the originals and can produce over 120HP at the rear wheel.
All comes down to the engineering design philosophy and the dollar value attached to the finished product. Anything is possible given enough time and money.

Don't get me wrong, I don't WANT more power, im just wondering why so much CC and little hp? Surely the factory must be able to pump out more than 0.05hp per CC... arnt big power cruisers in fashion or what not? Its always baffled me why they have no power....
