I heard that alot when I first started riding. Then I bought a Kawasaki LTD 454
for my wife.
~32hp IIRC and its fine. Sure its at 5700rpm on the highway but it acclerated
faster than a same year Corvette (supposedly anyway)
and has plenty of power for hauling my butt around. I've ridden it on the
highway for an hour at a time on my commute with no issue.
It does have a fairly narrow seat and its a small bike so I look goofy on it
but not any worse than I would on a Harley Sportster...
Which is not to say I don't understand power, my CB900f has LOTS of power and
is LOTS of fun and needs alot less shifting but the Kawi was 1/2 the money.
BTW I'd suggest something in a standard. I find them alot easier to ride for a
newbie. Something like LT Don's CB500 is a nice choice.

I'm just partial to my Virago because of my
experiences. Just about any metric cruiser in this
size range would do the job for him. I certainly
wouldn't get out on the highway with anything less
than a 750.
