The Honda CB1000C was only built for 1 year 1983 and they made 89 horsepower. The V-rod makes 122 HP. I do like those old Honda air cooled in-line 4 SJMs though. The legendary CB750 which built the SJMs reputation made 68 HP.

Today Honda builds 3 lines of V-twin cruisers, wonder why techno-marvel Honda copied the clearly inferior American V-twin. If I want a dirt bike I'll get a Honda. If I want a motorcycle as fat and luxurious as a car I'll get a Goldwing. But I dont. And I don't want a Japanese copy of a classic American cruiser either.
