I must say my favorite bikes have always been inline 4 cyl liter bikes. There is some inherent buzz in a big inline but I have never felt it objectionable. Again ride a TX 650 Yamaha and then tell me the Honda vibrates lol. I also confess I use the torque of the engine and not the horsepower, and it's RARE when my bike hits 4000 rpms and I don't think it's been over 5,000 rpms in nearly 20,000 miles counting my 13 and 14. I spend most of my time where Honda says they put the "character" right around 2500-3000 rpms. If I concentrate I can feel a little buzz but most of the time I don't think about it so I don't feel it. Heck on my 6 speed 80 mph still isn't 4000 rpms, and I just don't ride that fast. I'm usually between 55 and 60 mph, unless on the freeway in traffic which is actually quite rare.
As far as grips I use the Progrip 719 Gel Grip but not for buzz isolation although I suppose it helps for that, but because they are softer and grippier than the stock Honda grips.
JPT here is a dyno chart which will give you peak torque and horsepower readings at given rpms
