Default WTF do I really want

Ok, so I moved to a different part of ND a couple years ago, and have come to the conclusion that this area SUCKS for a sport bike. Lots of straight and flat, with no decent riding within a decent distance.
This has brought me to the point of getting a more touring orientated bike.
Wife is ok with it, as long as the pass seat is comfy for her.
So, I am ok with the look and like the functionality of the HD Street/Electra glide or Victory Cross Country/Tour.
I like the batwing fairing, and the addition of tunes.
Must have cruise

The issue I have, is I know I'm going to miss the flat out stupidity and shit eating grin ability of the 1125, so I want something that can still embarrass most other bikes off the line.

Budget is also a concern. I don't want to spend $20K+ on a HD (or $30+ for a 110 Screaming Eagle) and then still have to drop another 4k plus on engine work and tuning.

So, suggestions?

Oh, and before anyone mentions it, a boss hoss is not what I'm looking for.

An Ultra with something that put down 150 hp / 150+ ft lbs, now that would be cool.
