jacked? you don't say.

I've seen 1500's around, and quite frankly, I'm not terribly impressed. Most noticeably, the fuel economy really sucks on these monsters, 32 mpg isn't impressing me much.

I like to have a bike getting around 40 mpg so there is some kind of silly feel good angle to it (at least it gets better mileage than the car I drive).

Agree on the fuel mileage. But the big bikes rumble better.

Default power

I have a 2007 750 and the power is great. I am 5'10" and 200lbs and there is no lack of power for me. It's not a canyon killer, but I keep up with the Harley's and other bikes that I ride with. Yes there is vibration, but not as bad as a Sportster.
