I would suspect that we have an O.P who would be better off buying a twin or triple cyclinder machine, as he wants lots of grunt, low down.
His reluctance to use high revs (and lower gears) leads me to think a more suitable bike might be something like either a big twin cylinder cruiser like a Suzuki M1800 Intruder or Kawasaki VN1700 Classic.
If neither or these have enough torque (which is what he's asking for) then he should bite the bullet and buy a Triumph Rocket III which with its 2294 cc three cyclinder lump should haul OP and his wife along at a brisk pace, whatever the weather.
