This is my favorite series in moto America. Watching these guys toss these machines around, and with all the parity, and an actual championship battle. Great show!
True, they are strictly monitored, at anytime during practice and at the end of every race, they are required to put the bike on a scale upon request, before any fluids can be added. With a minimum racing weight of 635lbs, they’re as heavy as a stock, FX Softail give or take, not quite like a fully packed Ultra Classic, but all racing machines have their freebies.
@@montana1636hahahaha Are you kidding??? Weight that’s it, heavily modified, more so than any-other bike, in any class. Cool class, I agree , but it had to be created for this style bike, for a reason, Not for racing. Unless you create a class for them to race in.
Wish there was more bagger races. I also wish that there were more hooligan races as well as like kawasaki and Honda would enter their baggers into the race. Could be fun
Dam I mean if Kyle had not been DQ'd because of that leak because of the crash in that Dash for cash, There would have been no way for Tyler to Win. That's gotta feel real bad for Travis too. I cant imagine he's anything less than totally upset about it all.
@@jefferyturner4675 It wasnt oil that leaked, it was brakeline fluid.... And it leaked because he crashed the bike the previous day, and the line split open and they didnt notice it until it leaked.
I would like to congratulate Harley Davidson for proving once again that no matter how much money you throw at a Harley Davidson Indian motorcycles are clearly superior 👏👏👏🍾🥂🏆
@@nightrider2570 no not at all especially considering there are ZERO Harley Davidson parts in the Harley Davidson motors 🤦🏻♂️ just like their Drag Bikes lol
GoldWings and BMW’s would never get very far in this series because they don’t have enough ground clearance compared to the VTwins. You can barely tip them into a corner before the engines start scraping on the asphalt. They simply don’t have enough ground clearance in corners to race.
These arent harley or indians, upside down forks? Its a race bike w a batwing n small bags, doesnt look anything like my ultra. Bmw is doing pretty good in the races so if invited i think they would have a competitive class but for now there are only 4 that race and the rest of the pack without manufacturer sponsor cant compete. Sad, could be a fun class but like everything it gets pushed to the elites.
Ducati diavel,yamaha flr 1300,suzuki intruder,honda goldwing, they all try n copy harley and all have bikes in motoamerica ,this class has become the superbike w some bags attached. Would be a fun class to watch but the bikes should be more stock than what they are so more people can be competitive. Their leathers like a guy told me should imitate biker sleeves with tattoos and a vest design w patches, hondas could be the yuppie crowd!. Just my 2 cents as the first season was fun but now only a small few can win and they r far away from any pack. More bikes and variety is what racing should be about. Enjoying the racing each year.
Seems Harley Davidson fans didn't notice the two fastest lap time in the rain were Indian on this day. Tyler O'Hara had nothing to lose the pressure was on Harley Davidson.
Tyler nearly lost it and crashed trying to keep up with Kyle. OR did you seem to not notice that the massive lead that Kyle had even though Tykler was still trying his ass off, and nearly lost it in the 6 lap. Indian fans are such brown nosers.
@@FranBunnyFFXII it's funny Kyle would not have been on the podium if his brother stayed in the race and got third place. His only hope of being on the podium was if it rained and if Tyler were Travis both or one of them crashed. Yes I seen Tyler slip and I seen everybody else on the track including Kyle. slip only one person went down and that was the person who is the point lead and needed to win or at least come ahead of Tyler. So why are we continuing to talk about Kyle. Is it because you're a Harley-Davidson fan you don't understand math come on man give me a break let it rest. Tyler had one job in that race and that was to stay ahead of Travis he did that. Travis had one job in that race and that was to stay ahead of Tyler. The Indian team members had one job in that race and I was to prevent Travis from pushing Tyler and they did that. Kyle if he wanted to be on the podium he had to win that race and hope somebody between his brother and Tyler didn't make it and he did that he got on the podium
Maybe wait till a unicorn dries the track for them? Or have them race on a pillow surface, So it’s more safe?? What are you talking about?? It’s racing!!
Sad thing was Kyle didn't loose the championship from poor riding.. but officials decided the championship by a technically. Basically the championship was given away to Indian.
@@maryhausler8900 exactly, they had different options 3 if I remember correctly one was to make him start at the back of the pack. They picked the strongest penalty of the 3. Knowing it would cost him the championship. In my mind this years championship will have a cloud over it. I know the riders can't say much for fear of retaliation. But as a fan I say bull *hit!
It's a team sport. His pit crew is to blame not the official. Kyle wasn't even in the picture if Travis or Tyler O'Hara scored points. Let's just say O'Hara let him have the weekend because he was not worried and sat out Saturday and even joked it looks like rain. The pressure was on Travis he couldn't do it in the rain. He knew to win the battle he just needed to beat Travis to the finish line. Strategy well played since it's been two Harley Davidson top contender vs one Indian. You still have next year to tie it up again. Right now in the books Indian 2 Harley Davidson 1. To a smaller V twin motor.
@@HangTimeSolutions pit crew made a mistake you are correct, but the championship was lost to an officials decision. Kyle was in the championship points lead before the race he was disqualified in in a tight points series. And with being completely disqualified he received 0 points. Impossible to make up with only one race left. Unless he was blowing out the competition in points.
@@HangTimeSolutions Tyler would not have even come close to winning if Kyle had not been DQ'd. If Travis was 2nd Tyler would have lost the championship as well. It was in the bag for HD and everyone knew it Kyle was unbeatable this season. DQ is why Indian won not bike or skill
If you didn't know any better you would think Harley-Davidson won the king of baggers race championship. Nope, get it through your head, MOTO AMERICA wanted Harley to be the champs but they're the chumps their second place okay chumps.
False. It is also spelled MotoAmerica*. We are fans of close racing and competition. We had an epic 2022 season in the Mission King of the Baggers and can’t wait for 2023. Thanks for watching.
Are you really complaining like a little girl about this?! It is more popular than the other races. It has brought fans to the stands like they haven't seen for years. The online pay per view revenue for this race far overshadowed the other races. Since the dawn of man and since birth we have competed. You start as a kid to see who can run the fastest, you didnt compare who was bigger or fatter when competing, you just raced. You raced your bicycles, you raced your shitbox of a car.. men race anything. Lawn mowers, go carts, trucks, tractors.. Competition is a part of life. Stop being a loser at it and get better.

Congrats Tyler. Thank you for giving us a great race and representing the iconic indian motorcycle.🏆
Congratulations Tyler on the championship 🏆. Loved watching this season
Praises to all racers it is so amazing seeing cruisers leaning high speed in the rain.👍🏻
Thank you for the full coverage and god bless you all!! I can’t wait for the next season good luck to all of you!! 🎉
The Queen is dead. Long live the King.. ..of the Baggers. He has his box open to put his trophy in and take it home. Well done Tyler!

I was today years old when I learned they raced bagger. I'm definitely going to watch them at COTA when they come here.
Congratulations to Indian and Tyler!
Hi from Ukraine!
Hey there!
Amazing watching these guys handle 600lb bikes with ease. Awesome.
Great racing. Good job Barnes, too
INDIAN #1 again!!
Amazing race. I can't imagine how wet and cold everyone was at the end of the chaos.
Great race series. MotoAmerica.
Just go ahead and make this part of every round next year. In the very least, bring it to Barber.
The Eagle has landed!!
Wish there was more bagger races. I also wish that there were more hooligan races as well as like kawasaki and Honda would enter their baggers into the race. Could be fun
THIS IS BONKERS!
Love from UK
I think you could add trailers to these for maximum carnage🤣
Congrats Kyle and Tyler..
How can they manage to sit on those bikes? I mean, with balls that huge, how’s it done?
Hah!
that's what the bags are for
Long live Swiss Formula 1 motorcycle race team Indian !!!
Congratulations
Love bagger racing
Dam I mean if Kyle had not been DQ'd because of that leak because of the crash in that Dash for cash, There would have been no way for Tyler to Win.
That's gotta feel real bad for Travis too. I cant imagine he's anything less than totally upset about it all.
Hahahaha if only. Hahahaha. Get over it.
Hey, what can you say?! Harleys leak oil. Lol...
@@jefferyturner4675 It wasnt oil that leaked, it was brakeline fluid....

Lmao ouch...
It must be embarrassing for “Indian” motorcycles to have to have there engines designed and built by the Swiss.
@@nightrider2570 no not at all especially considering there are ZERO Harley Davidson parts in the Harley Davidson motors 🤦🏻♂️ just like their Drag Bikes lol
But they do a nice line in T shirts🤣🤣🤣
@@paullacey2999 after all that is what it’s all about 👕
Long live the King! Ride American Ride Indian.
When will it be opened up to all makes that have a bagger?
they meet race weight engine requirements they can belly up to the line

I'd love to see a Bagged Honda VFR1200 or Suzuki M109r Boulevard Run Against them!!😁 👍
Excelente carrera!
Well we won the fight ie Harley lost the war to ie Indian , see you next year Harley will be back thanks for a great season

@@HangTimeSolutions You really didnt track the points nor listen to the commentators did you.
Someone explain to me how two wheeled motorcycles can race in the rain but four wheeled NASCARS have rain delays? 😂
Thank god something is on RUclips. The app I pay for doesn’t work
You payed??
Why??
@@metalted6128 that’s a very good question. They post most of what I want to see on RUclips and this platform works much better
waiting til these bikes come as legal road bikes. theres a market for that 🙂
Harley has a line already! www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/content/event-calendar/king-of-baggers.html
@@MotoAmerica yeah nah yeah, its the rideability, not the engine power what makes the race baggers superior compared to the streeet models ;-)
So for 2023 there is a RPM limit. Harley are at 7k and the Indian 7700. I think this is going to hurt the Indian more so than the Harley.
It is notable that in Moto America, there are not prepared for the rain, still asking themselves why to race in that conditions.
What???
The bikes have rain tires on!!
To race in the rain!!! That’s prepared for RAIN!!!
What are you thinking???
Maybe wait till a unicorn dries the track for them?
Or have them race on a pillow surface,
So it’s more safe??
What are you talking about??
It’s racing!!
108 vs 131. 108 wins.
The real victory is actually making across the line in one piece. Don't care who wins, just so sketchy!
Go Indian!!!
I'm not impressed with the Q4
2:40, at 2x speed....chipmunk?
Somebody put a Yamaha Stratoliner in there already.
V max
@@ronaldkessler7333 ha ha if it was a bagger..
@@ericsuperhawkthey are baggers
Please don’t tell me you didn’t know that??
Yet still committed??
@@metalted6128 my Yamaha V-Max didn't come with bags. My Stratoliner did. I suddenly feel so cheated. 👊🤠🎙
I feel like the minimum age to race in this race should be 60. Ain't no gigantic crowd of 20-year-olds buying baggers. Keep it real.
Twins,!
สุดยอด
Wow Indian won, I’m going to buy and Indian say no one 😂 if you ain’t gliding you ain’t riding 💯
I’m not gliding!
I’m buying!! Indian.
You are super simple minded , with that comment.
Typical!!!
