Hogryder,
I don't know what the Wing's specs are, but the supercruiser Valkyrie pumps out approx. 102hp at 98ftlb of torque. The base model sells for around $12K, and that's a LOT of engine, and bike, for that price. According to any mag report I've read (and that's lots) this Honda has no faults, except that it'll make you want to go faster than Mr. Blue would like to allow. It's huge, though, and I'm 6'. When I sit on one I feel like I'm on an 8' 6 cylinder Lazy Boy.
As you've said, something for everyone is the name of the game. If I could afford one, I like the new 2000 model Harley FXST ST Standard with the new c'balanced 88 engine. Clean and simple like my Savage, but certainly more presence in the power department. I think they sell for around $12-13K, not sure about that, though. Who knows, maybe the Lotto will cooperate ha ha !!
