On October 3rd 1982 Jay ‘Pee Wee’ Gleason did a 10.92second 1/4 mile run on a stock V65 Magna. That’s him in the commercial. In answer to your question It is quicker to shift gear without using the clutch and keeping your left hand and arm in board reduces wind drag

You don’t really HAVE to use the clutch on a motorcycle. But if you choose to not use the clutch you just have to make sure that the engine speed matches the transmission speed before you drop it in gear. The driver I imagine has his left arm tucked in to cut down on wind resistance.

The Magna was the fastest in the mid 80′s. Quarter mile 10.84 @ 124 mph. The
eliminator stats was 11.27 @ 117 mph.
Go do some research and you will find it.
I have an 85′ and it runs 120 mph in 4 telephone poles length. Carbs have been
jetted and thats it.

The Eliminator was a good muscle bike.
