Default whats the 1/4 time of a sportster?

does anyone know what a stock 1200 or 883 would run in a 1/4? Not that i would run my 1200 but it be cool to no. I would guess a stock 1200 would run 12.80 and a 883 13.70 hows my guess?

ive seen a stage one(air cleaner upgrade, chip, and exhaust) 1200N run a 12.80. stock 1200s usually run low 13s. its all about the riders experience tho...
