Does anybody have accurate 1/4 mile times for a STOCK '04 Mean Streak?

I saw a listing for an '03 at about 13.29.......

the articles i've read when they have tested stock 1600's have always been right at or shade above 14. :?

my bad... i was obviously speaking of the classic.

Yeah, I would hope it's better than 14's............
My 800 Intruder will do 13.3 - 13.4.........

NOBODY has 1/4 times for a Meanie? Surprising......

You can get this information on the Mean Streak as well as most any other bike on the website below. Or you can look in the bike of any "Motorcyclist" magazine.

Great job......but I was hoping for info on the 1600...........

I ordered one anyway......I should have it next week. Now I'm just deciding which pipes to order for it.

Yea...I've only found the hard numbers on the 1500...It's my understanding that the 1600 makes about the same max HP as the 1500, but the 1600 makes more power in the low to mid range, so that should improve it's quarter mile times slightly. Hopefully it'll get into the 12's.

I'm trying to decide on the pipes too, what are you leaning towards?

Leaning towrds V & H Classics, or their new Powershots, although they only list the Powershots for the V-Star 1700, and the Vulcan 2000.

I'm also looking at Muzzy, on the recommendation of another member from this forum.
