My brother had the 454 ltd, it was tough..

i used to own a 1984 zx-550a1 Gpz, it was only a 550, but holy moses was it zippy.
It would get 60 in second and 90 in third with my big ass on it, and it had 3 more gears saying PICK ME! PICK ME!

The drifter is nothing like those bikes, it is just slow, steady, and plenty of power, it just doesn't jump up and bite you like the sport bikes do.

I remember the old 454 LTD with that half-of-a-Ninja (parallel twin) engine - man that was unbelievable!  I have a friend who has one of those and nearly 30 years later it's still a speed monster.

Nah, you won't have a problem... its not like the old Kaw 900 that would rip you off the seat. The Drifter 1500 is a cruiser... it will putt along like a big old bear... it has the power when you want it or need it but its not a drag racer!

OK, forgive this question, but I am considering a 1500 and though I have been riding for over 3o years have had bikes around the 650 to 800 range.  Will I find the 1500 to powerful, or does it have a user-friendly power band. I am assuming that since it is a twin it will be a little more nanageable and not to over powering?  Thanks
