welcome 240z
all the touring bikes are going to feel underpowered due to their weight and required epa restrictions that harley has to meet. there are a lot of nice upgrades to improve performance but are somewhat costly. i would buy a used bike that already had some motor upgrades before i would buy a new bike - but that's me. if you ride the lighter weight street bikes or dirt bikes, the touring bikes are really going to feel underpowered due to the very dismal engine hp / torque to weight ratio.
changing the cams, using a different head gasket to bump compression, and getting the ignition reprogrammed will make a big difference but cost at least 1k with labor (that's a very rough estimate depending on who you use).
big advantage of the touring bikes is the comfort over long miles and lots of riding. get out there and ride!
