Yep. Sorry to say but even the smaller 600's I4's beat a SH in the quarter mile, maybe not 0-60 though, but if your on just the streets I love mine too, theres nothing like raw torque, but there really not anything really really fast.

Re: more power and torque

You'd need JE or Ross High compression pistions, Stage 1 or stage 2 cams, nice free-flowing exhaust, then re-jet for the mods. You'll end up with a 20-30 Rear Wheel HP increase(From 100-110 to 120-130), for about a $1000-$1500 minimum investment. Then you'll have to deal with the VTR's suspension issues...

If you want FAST/POWERFUL, get another bike (RC51 would be reccomendation). If you just want to modify what you've got, by all means go for it, just don't expect 150 RWHP for $200.
