The valve inspection on a V7 is easier than on a R1200, simply by virtue of its 2-valve (vs. 4-valve) head. Screw and locknut adjustment on both. Twenty minute job.
To claim the V7 is underpowered is no different than saying the CB1100 is underpowered. On an absolute scale, sure, both are dogs, but the engines, gearing, and power delivery fit the character of each bike quite nicely.
