The Honda Valkyrie is about as laid back as you can get. But don't let the looks fool you. It is a 1500cc, 6 cylinder, 6 carb into six pipes monster. It's got 104 horses (1997 model). This bike weighs 800 lbs. It won't pull a wheelie but it will smoke the tire from a standing start.
It's also very smooth. My brother showed me just how smooth. He will balance a nickel on the engine and than start the engine. The Nickel stays upright. He will gradually increase the rpm's. The Nickel won't fall over till he gets to about 8000 rpm. That's smooth.
Not putting Harley's down, but I don't think even gluing the Nickel down will keep it from falling over.
