Default Softail Time Trials?

This is probably a goofy *** question and thread, really. But... I know my '08 Heritage isn't the fastest horse out of the chute. But I know when I romp on her, she got some torque, pep and zing.

So I thought to myself, well, how fast are Harley's anyway? I know a '66 big block Vette is a 4.5 second 0-60 car, but I can't find anything like that for Harleys.

Anyone know where to find? Just for the hell of it?

No one's got any skinny on this? I can't be the first guy to have wondered it...

I have heard they run in the 15 second range but never saw anyone race them. Most of the Harley's at the strip are VRods, Sportsters and Buell's.
