Harley-Davidson (H-D) is ending its factory racing programme in MotoAmerica’s King of the Baggers after the 2026 season, shifting its focus to the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup as its premier racing platform from 2027. The move comes after the inaugural Bagger World Cup season, a new global championship developed by H-D and MotoGP and sanctioned by the FIM.
The series is the first global racing championship dedicated exclusively to high-performance H-D baggers, bringing heavily modified Grand American Touring machines onto MotoGP circuits in North America and Europe. The 2026 championship featured six MotoGP race weekends and 12 races, visiting the Circuit of the Americas, Mugello, Assen, Silverstone, Aragon and the Red Bull Ring.
