Gunfighter, it might depend on a few factors, most important how much of a load you'll be carrying and your riding style.

I find the almost-stock Speedmaster has enough power to carry me & my wife (total weight about 350 lbs - you figger out the split :-D ) plus luggage on short overnight trips.

If you need to carry more weight or go really fast for a really long distance it may not be enough for you if you're used to a bigger bike. We find it quite comfortable although if you're going to carry a passenger you'll want the touring seat.

If you plan to ride solo, I bet you'll be OK with either bike.

Have you considered a test ride?
