More torque is better

Gets up to speed quicker, changes speed in traffic quicker, and not as demanding of being in the exact right gear in any given situation.
As far as riding comfort, highway pegs and a backrest help A LOT. If you were coming through Iowa you could check out how I have my Victory set up, but a 100" v-twin would ruin you for the stuff you're looking at. :-)
