Harley-Davidson, one of the most iconic brands in the world, is entering the MotoGP arena with its Bagger.<\/p>\n
No one expected the MotoGP arena<\/a> to welcome a Harley-Davidson Bagger. This entry is more than surprising, as it\u2019s not with classic machines. The Bagger is, in fact, a massive touring motorcycle.<\/p>\n The Harley-Davidson Bagger hits a new stage!<\/p>\n The arrival of the Bagger is not happening in any of the existing categories. It\u2019s actually part of a brand-new championship that bears the name \u201cBagger World Cup.\u201d The most surprising thing is seeing these heavy, imposing bikes take on the speed circuits.<\/p>\n It\u2019s official: the Harley Davidson Bagger World Cup is happening in 2026.

They\u2019ve been lightened and equipped with powerful engines<\/a>, as well as improved suspension and brakes. That\u2019s why the Harley-Davidson Bagger in MotoGP can now reach impressive speeds.<\/p>\n This series is meant to be spectacular and different. It will offer a stunning contrast to the light and sophisticated prototypes in MotoGP. The goal of its integration into the arena is to attract a new audience while providing motorcycle fans with a unique visual experience.<\/p>\n An international calendar and a global spotlight<\/p>\n This new championship<\/a> with the Harley-Davidson Bagger will take place alongside several MotoGP Grand Prix events around the world. The 2026 calendar includes legendary tracks in North America and Europe. For example, the Circuit of the Americas in the United States and Mugello in Italy.<\/p>\n Harley-Davidson and MotoGP have announced a new global racing series which will launch in 2026, with teams riding race-prepared bagger motorcycles at Grands Prix in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n I’d hate to see a beautiful machine like this end up in the gravel! pic.twitter.com\/6CepIm1k2O<\/a><\/p>\n
