Greg,
I too have a bonneville, modded with Airbox removal with pod filters, D&D full exhaust, and a custom tune. I just traded in a 2012 Speed Triple 1050 (132HP and 470lbs) for an MV Agusta Brutale 800 (125HP and 400lbs). I've never felt at any time that the Honda CB1100 lacked power. With the bonneville, even modded I am always wringing it out to 6-7k rpms but on the CB11, the engine is just stronger across the board. It is a very balanced motorcycle (braking, handling, power) and does everything with ease. Hope that helps.
