2026 MotoGP™: FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup

Harley-Davidson and MotoGP™ have launched an exciting new championship series, the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, the world’s first global racing series dedicated to high-performance Harley-Davidson bagger motorcycles.

The Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup is the world’s first global racing series dedicated exclusively to high-performance Harley-Davidson bagger motorcycles, competing as a premier support championship on select 2026 MotoGP™ weekends across North America and Europe.

Bagger World Cup race bikes are built on Harley-Davidson’s Grand American Touring platform, transformed by Harley-Davidson Factory Racing into purpose-built competition machines.

Each motorcycle features:
- A race-prepared Harley-Davidson Road Glide motorcycles featuring a Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin 131R race-modified motor
- Purpose-built chassis, suspension, braking, and electronics packages
- Extensive weight reduction and aerodynamic development
- Performance levels exceeding 200 horsepower, with top speeds up to 300 km/h (186 mph)

The result is a visually striking and technically sophisticated race bike that delivers a unique blend of American V-twin character, global-level performance, and unmistakable on-track presence, unlike anything currently competing on the MotoGP™ calendar.
