1/4 mile times?
I guess it really all depends on "who" is on the seat.
You could run, say a 13.0, then have your buddy get on the same bike and run a 12.5 or a 14.0.
What did you learn? Nothing- but I bet you would have fun doing it though.
I believe it would take several runs and then average them out if you wanted to get any useful info out of it.
But what the hell....it's still riding

MCNews publishes performance reports on their test bikes. They haven't done a Street Glide, but the '09 Road Glide was in 12/08 issue. 1/4 mile time was 14.4 at 91.04 mph.
The '99 model, with the smaller TC88 was faster, at 13.88 and 92.37 mph.
The top speed on the '09 was faster, however, at 109 mph, compared to 105 for the '99 model.
832 lbs vs 777 lbs .
