Some good replies here. I believe the V design lends itself to really good low end "grunt", but not necessarily high hp numbers. The torque curve is where we live in the real world anyway. A good illustration I once heard was that in using boxing as an illustration, hp would be how fast you can hit and torque would be how hard you can hit. I don't believe a big twin Harley has much if any hp advantage over my 790 cc's but it produces quite a bit more torque. The R3 has both in spades.
