MotoAmerica "King of the Baggers" will be running today and Saturday at Monterey. Live stream available. Usually post video a day or two after the race. Why race baggers? This is Merica, Why NOT?
Lovin this series! Boy, 596lb with all that power seems like it'd be approaching 600cc sportbike territory, which is respectful... Looks like the fastest 600cc Laguna Seca run is 1:25.406 and the recent baggers are around 1:38. Not shabby, for what the baggers are actually intended to be.
They needed more power , should of pulled the heads off and cleaned up the CNC, why no carbon fiber wheels ? Was a very cool race for sure , hope they do many more .
Full fledged, card carrying Indian fan-man here. Had to come troll all you Harley boys - Indian not only sprinted out in front, there was NO WAY any bike but another Challenger would have caught it, but when the leader ran off the track on turn two then came back to drag that Harley down and out maneuver it...are you kidding me!!! Only two Indians in the whole lot and they finished first and third. Hmmmm - sure is "quiet" here on this channel. ;0) The Harley teams, taking nothing away from them, brought their biggest and best - simply put, from the factory, the Challenger is a better engineered and purpose built bike from the frame to the components. Now we see that everything Harley could throw at it, from a 131 c.i. motor to machined custom parts can't compete. All that said, this is incredibly good for all bikers and all manufacturers because the next "king" will have to step up their game that much more. Harley enthusiasts should be cheering that Indian is back and better than Harleys - you're gonna get better bikes from The Motor Company....you're welcome. :0)
Get yourself a Klock Werks windshield and stick that front end a normal batwing fairing has 25 lb of uplift the Klock Werks windshield has 45 lb of downforce to the front tire
Really it was second to a liquid cooled shorter stroke engine. Thats where the difference was up front. Like the yamaha and suzuki factory teams last year, one bike just had the legs on the other
These baggers have 2147cc and cannot beat a 660cc twins cup bike around a track. What a joke!!! Road Atlanta - Twins Cup race was 6 laps. Bagger was 8 laps. Lap 6 race lap time Bagger 1:36.961 Twins Cup 1:35.994 Supersport 600 1:28.641
Right.....there were 13 H-D's in this race and 2 Indians. H-D's were allowed 131 cubic inch engines and the Indians were limited to 108 cubic inch engines. The 2 Indians came in 1st and 3rd in the race. Says something don't it? Not something to brag about Harley-Davidson. Wake up.
Hilarious. Take a 90 year old design, spend $150,000 and it goes faster than stock. If you spend enough money you can make a garbage truck fast. Meanwhile HD wheezes toward bankruptcy.
if they are as successful with this as they have been with their dirt track bike. they may has well stay home. have riden harley's' all my adult life. their racing program the last few years has been an embarrassment. but i guess with the type of leadership at corp. shouldn't be surprised. i do hear they're going to make darn good sneakers though.
You should do something more productive for the company being America's largest motorcycle manufacturer!! How about a "battle of the Sportster REWIRE!" I've never seen something wired so shitty in my life! Over 100 years of engineering bikes and it looks like a 10 year old got bored and started getting creative. Think inside the box first. AND TELL YOUR DEALERS TO ACTUALLY WORK ON BIKES WHEN THEY GO IN THE SHOP AND TO NOT LIE ABOUT WORK THEY DIDNT DO! Thank God we got 2 Harley shops... Bought it uptown but gonna have to keep it forever faithful downtown where the heart is! MHD!
The end is near. HD is pretty much dead and about to shut it's doors. I don't wish that on anyone of you guys. I don't have a positive outlook on HD because they made bad decisions! What they did to Eric Buell makes me say they deserve what is coming. That was completely unnecessary and unreasonable. Vindictive and without cause. As I said ....bad decision making
Latest bikes are rubbish, so is Harley Davidson management, it’s seems all other manufacturers are moving with the times and increasing their customer base whilst Harley are loosing theirs, fluffy attitude, trying to sell motorcycles to the latest generation that were raised in the belief Motorcycles are dangerous. Harley love the word ‘Freedom’ but have started playing big brother on some of their best ambassadors for the brand. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you !! No wonder your loosing business ! The freedom Brand !!!! (as long as you don’t upset someone by hurting their beliefs) JOKE !!
Yep.. You took the words right out of our mouth.. Hence what WE see before us.. HD buy their own content so they able to pull their muppets string to keep them politically correct.. Yep.. Them at head office are heading down the wrong path..lefty's drive cars.. HD needs to write into contract that in order to work for HD ya have to ride to work rain hail or shine.. ALL GO0D.......
July 9th through 11th 2021 laguna seca. I am so excited I fell like a kid. See you all there.
You’re making a dream come true here guys
Tonight is the night! I can’t wait for this race!
Holy shit this is amazing! Never have cruisers peaked my interest the way this did. Love to see more!
Great job guys go hard love the racing.

Why didn’t you use the road glide ?
i love harleies black and Orange color
170 hp and over 160 lb-ft! That's pretty crazy! 😲
I love this Harley Davidson please enter Moto GP!!!!
V-TWIN? MotoGP?
I love H-D, but that's asking a scooter to take part in an off-road competition. It is not that it can't, it just is not suited for that.
@@rodolfosabater7781 Ducati is vtwin...
@@omarsalgado9715 I think Harley-Davidson is going to blow mind in the coming years
@@JesseDalba - really? I thought it was V4?
One more day!!!
Just by taking the back exhaust pipes off to dual exhaust you'll save over 40 lb. I've been doing it on the streets for a number of years already.
Hi guys any idea of what knobs are they using to tight the saddle bags? Appreciate.
Looks the factory HD parts of the new baggers.
I really was excited about the race and I don't usually follow any sport.
They needed more power , should of pulled the heads off and cleaned up the CNC, why no carbon fiber wheels ? Was a very cool race for sure , hope they do many more .
Very cool!
Soo..... how much those bags weigh? :-) :-) .-)
Que empiece la guerra Harley vs Indian
H-D Best ever
Really cool.
Thumbs down? Why !? LOL, who would dislike this video?
I would love to see a bagger race.

Albert Webber - Now let other brands compete and see how it goes. You can't claim you're the fastest bagger unless you are.

Heard Million Dollar Bogan liked fast Harley-Davidsons too. Wonder what happened there.................................
Hello: Well If Harley had made that Orange and Black in 2002 Heritage Softail I would have liked it more !!!
Awesome 😎⚡️🤙
I would love to know how many $$$$ are in one of those bikes.... $150,000 ??? More?
Keep in mind HD 2nd to a Victory bike!

Keep in mind. This is a Harley video and you’re watching it and commenting on it. Get a life.
Weighs just a little more than a rubber mount sporty
Pretty legit
This could be absolutely great to evolve into a bagger that a 5’0” tall 95 lb. woman could handle!
596lbs?! What!
Love it
It does not matter how well you feed a wolf, it will not grow bigger then bear. HD is for styling, not for racing
bad ass.
I think Erik Buell did a little work along these lines and Harley sacked him.
there you have it baggers dont need to weigh 1/2 ton and they shouldn't build it right HD
My dream brand to buy,But no money 😪 😕 😔 😢
1st.. Stop paying [they/them] taxes.. You to be able to retire young & You too be "Living the dream"
LIFESssssss GO0D.......
@@cragmacarthur513 Thank you for your wonderful words Arthur
I have a carbon fiber Harley, but it isn't a bagger 😀
I hope Harley doesn’t shut before I finally save enough to buy 48.
better hurry up. Sportsters are on the way out
These baggers have 2147cc and cannot beat a 660cc twins cup bike around a track. What a joke!!!
Road Atlanta - Twins Cup race was 6 laps. Bagger was 8 laps.
Lap 6 race lap time
Bagger 1:36.961
Twins Cup 1:35.994
Supersport 600 1:28.641
Uh ya better luck next year Harley. Indian won first and third this year in King of the baggers. Hahahahahah!
S&S 143! DRAGON T
Weighs as much as my FXBB
nice:)

You ment polaris. There is no indian
