I want fast acceleration and be able to cruise comfortably at 75mph.

In my opinion no naked bike is comfortable at 75mph. Thought I'd throw that out there.

It's not the bike, it's you. If you've gotten used to 75+mph wind on your upper body, good for you, but that's like getting comfortable with underwear 2 sizes too small. It's not really comfortable, you're just putting up with it. If you wanna cruise at high speed, get a windshield.

They feel like old BMWs. Kinda heavy, very smooth, comfortable. That's gentlemanly.

A Sportster 1200 is a solid bike that will do 75 without trouble. Many available, parts are easy to get, 45deg vtwin is objectively the best config.

You are objectively wrong. 90 degree v-twin is the best engine.
