Ya know, the more I think about it, for the money, I'd buy a well cared for '90s Big One.

Pumping out 100bhp at 8500rpm the CB1000 has a top speed of around 140mph.
The engine is capable of producing a lot more power than it actually does, but Honda have tuned it for low and mid-range output, and brute acceleration, rather than top speed. This is because without a fairing on it, the CB1000 is a struggle to ride at speeds over 120mph. So it might as well be tuned for eyeball-popping acceleration instead.
