When MotoAmerica started King of the Baggers, who knew it would get this popular? Okay, lots of people did. The next season starts at Daytona Bike Week but while you wait, here’s a highlight reel to tide you over.
What started as a novel idea has become one of MotoAmerica’s most popular and fastest-growing race classes. Touring motorcycles from Harley-Davidson and Indian form the basis for Mission King Of The Baggers. However, these motorcycles are far from gentle cruisers.
By the time the teams, aftermarket companies, and riders get done with these bikes, they are bona fide road racers. They pack much-improved ground clearance, race-ready suspensions, aggressive ergonomics, and all sorts of engine modifications that deliver eye-popping performance.
Touring fairings and hard side bags are part of the formula, but even those are highly modified through the use of carbon fiber and other exotic materials. Check out the full MotoAmerica racing schedule here.
