If you want idle away torque, get a single or twin.  These beasts aren't happy lugging, and will buck a little if you try to roll the throttle on from low rpms.  You'll learn to finess it after a while, but the old girls want to run.  When you get comfortable, and have some room, drop a gear, maybe two, and roll on the throttle.  These are old bikes, but only take a second to get on step and put a big smile on your face.
