Have ridden the Triumph Rocket, and the torque is ungodly, but the thing is immense, and it weighs almost 200lbs more than the V-Rod. Besides, these are "cruisers" -- one tends to value factors other than just sheer power... there's bikes with a much better chassis to go fast on than a cruiser one.
If you have never ridden one. BTW Both the rods I rode had forward controls. Standard rearsets should avoid the heat issue.
