I've got a V45, doesn't do unexpected wheelies, accelerates about like a 1200 Sportster, but higher top end (allegedly, I haven't proved that ). It's a slug compared to a V65. What surprises me about the Honda V4s are their torque; that V45 has better torque than my 883 in any gear, and the power band is pretty smooth all the way up; no high rpm peak, as if a turbo charger kicked in, like so many Japanese bikes do. Almost gives the same torque feeling as a Harley, but way smoother, of course. If only the beast was more comfortable; if you think a Sportster rides rough....

Yep, my flood insurance, too (thank you, friggin FEMA). Did I mention the plumbing...
Yup.... finally. Been about 3 months since this biatch made some wattage but we finally got her up and going. Good thing, I could use the OT
