One thing I have never understood is why manufacturers that build sport bikes and crusiers do not use those hotter faster motors in their crusiers. Instead they put in larger heavier and slower ones in them. For example the Daytona 675, it is one of the fastest out of the box bikes out there, why not shove a motor like that (or the 1050) into a cruiser frame? (Even if it is a one-off custom bike)

It's because of the market demographics on what the buyers want. There are power cruisers.

Very high performance engines such as those in sportbikes tend to be much higher maintenance than the average cruiser buyer wants to deal with. Especially if ridden the way most cruiser riders prefer to ride.
