Here is a dyno from a factory stock bike. I won't say which one. I don't know much about these charts other than what I see in the Screaming Eagle section of the Harley catalog.
Is this something I would want, or could it be better.
Yeah, the torque line is questionable. Even with an EPA torque cam I doubt you would get max torque at 1.2k RPM. Max torque would still likely be around 2200-2500 RPM. And is the chart STD or SAE?
Either way, you should be able to do much better with non HD parts, including the tuner. You might want to check out the dyno charts at FuelMoto that list the engine, cam, exhaust etc used to get the results in the dyno run.
