Up to 5000 rpm there is power, but it is smooth and sedate vs my Moto Guzzi V7II, which tries to pull your hands off up to 5000 rpm. Above 5000 rpm, the CB1100 gets angry, and the speedo swings up in a hurry.
I have owned and ridden singles, twin, and I4. They all have their place. The most visceral ride is with the V-twin, the singles are so much fun due to their lightweight and "flickability", and the I-4 is the most calming.
Good word!
Visceral: based on deep feeling and emotional reactions rather than on reason or thought.
I have always wondered why Harley owners are so passionate about their motorcycles. I think you hit the nail on the head.
