MotoGP, Harley-Davidson to Launch Global Bagger Racing Series

Harley-Davidson and MotoGP will launch a new global racing championship in 2026. This new series will feature Harley-Davidson bagger motorcycles, bringing together MotoGP’s fast-paced action with the strong Harley-Davidson fan base. The aim is to connect the Harley community in the US and beyond with the excitement of MotoGP racing.

The new championship will be held across six MotoGP weekends, with a total of twelve races—two per event. These races will take place in Europe and North America. Riders will compete on specially prepared Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycles. The grid is expected to feature six to eight teams, each with two riders, supported by Harley-Davidson Factory Racing.

Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO, Harley-Davidson, said: 'This is a bold new step for Harley-Davidson’s global racing ambitions. Harley-Davidson has been pioneering performance on and off the road since our beginnings over 120 years ago. Most recently, we’ve showcased performance through our racing at the MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers series and through performance differentiated product such as our new CVO RR motorcycle and our CVO Road Glide ST. We’ve seen how performance has resonated with riders and fans, and we know that they’re keen for more. With this new series, we’re excited to bring a new form of racing to the world stage. Not only is this a bold and new chapter for our brand, celebrating our heritage while pushing into the future, but it will add an amazing spectacle to the greatest motorcycle show in the world.'

Kings Of Baggers

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, said: “This collaboration with Harley-Davidson is an exciting opportunity for both parties. We offer a truly international platform for Harley-Davidson to expand their global reach, and Harley-Davidson is perfectly placed to join us in bringing our sport to new audiences as we team up with one of the most iconic lifestyle brands in the US. This partnership has big potential for both our strategies and will deliver a real spectacle for fans, bringing a completely new flavour to the Grand Prix weekends where the series will compete.
