Here is the graph for a cbr1000RR, aside from rpm's the torque curve is very similar to our bikes. Most Honda's have very smooth torque curves even there sport bikes which make them a pleasure to ride at slow speeds.

Looking at the chart is why that HD comparison is a joke, bring this bike out of the hole at 7000rpms and your in the meat of the HP and torque curve.

Mickey, all bikes will have different torque curves based on cams, pistions, intake, exhaust etc. Suzuki's are monsters on top and not as much torque in the mid-range as Honda, where Honda is known to be dead on top regarding HP.

Without looking at the V's Honda is the most rid-able of all the inline 4's with the best torque curve of the bunch.
