I believe the man said that he wanted sedate performance so he could enjoy putting around with it. Guess you never ran a sportster up to it's full potential. It's not an MVVS obviously but properly set up and run you'd be surprised at what comes out of that motor.
Dennis,
I guess I will have to take your word for it, as I don't intend to own such an engine.
The two I encountered locally were weaker than a .40, even with a 13x6 on them (~9,000-9,500 RPM).
Had they also been expensive, it would really have been a waste.
