I think for many of us, it's a throwback to the old days when we would get an old 57 chevy or ford and hop it up a bit.  ..would it outrun an XKE? probably not, but it was just a fun thing to do..

I pull over to the fog line and let the crotch rockets go by.. wouldn't even consider racing them...but it sure is fun waving by to the HD's {at less than 1/2 the price}

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if my old XS650 would outrun my Roadie off the line, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to make my frequent trips from NC to FL on it ! ! !

I have gone 170mph several times on my Suzuki but I've never broke 100mph on my Road Star.

I'm extremely pleased with my 'Liner. With 90 hp and 105 fpt on the ground , and the brakes and alloy frame to match , she's all about the business. Faster than a Warrior , but more comfy. This bike needs nothing (put a slip on - on for some noise), but otherwise , she's one healthy cruiser.
But , if I wanted to go fast , I'd kept my 1200 Bandit.  BB

It doesn't matter what kind of machine you've got or how much money you put into it, there's ALWAYS somebody faster. For me, I just enjoy tweaking the best performance out of whatever it is I'm working with, while staying within my budget of course. Hell, I'd hot rod my lawn mower if I had the spare change to spend on it. I prefer big v-twins for the same reason I'd sooner drive a big block, 4-speed Chevelle than Ferrari. It may be slower but it's just not the same. I wanna feel the torque and the vibes, and I want that rumble when I cruise by.

I am with BB, I road a Stratoliner with aftermarket air-filter and tweaked fuel map. Real torque monster. Hard to justify swapping out with my present RS cuz it is so darn purdy.
Once I get my house remodeled... I might indulge in a 2nd bike, along the lines of a ST1300 & BMW RT
