...so a person might be less likely to get in trouble on one.
Not true.
Buell's have a ton of torque so they move quickly enough to get a careless person in trouble, very handily.
...but my 700 would barely touch 100mph...
As a cruiser its power band may have designed for just that- cruising. Or it may have had some engine difficulty.
My '71 750 K4 Honda would jump up to 125mph with two up, in no time. I later added K&N air filters, raised the needles and put in larger high speed jets. It screamed. A lot of fun.
