After having rode bikes for 27 years and owned many types of bikes including GW's .
My Ultra is the only bike for me. There are all kinds of things to do for more power IMHO.

Cool Just sayin....

If you have to ask, then you bought the wrong bike. If you really are new to the sport, do yourself a favor and take a riding course or two. Figure out what you really want in a bike and fill your need. Don't worry about what other people think. I've been riding for 32 years, and have owned and ridden several different bikes. Each one filled a different need at the time. If you're trying to impress me by riding an Ultra or a GW just for the sake, then I'm not impressed. If you actually know what your doing and use those bikes for what they're made for, now you've got my attention.

New to riding bikes?
Yet you notice a lack of power in a 96" V-twin??

Maybe you should have got a Ducati??
