Spot on. My bike back in the US was a crappy old Yamaha Virago 920, v-twin (basically a bored out 750 for the extra cc's), and the extra power is so nice on the highway.

Mine had a digital speedo which wouldn't go above 85 mph (by design), which I thought was a smart idea - going any faster than that, you got no business looking at it anyway, and it prevents you from pushing up to triple digits to see it tick over.
