Not being anywhere near a HD I found this read with video pretty interesting and dare I say it.. cool.
Worth a look.

Are genuine race bikes allowed? Or just those pitiful Hogs?

What's inside the bags?

Sorry HD, this makes you and your product look really unimpressive.

No, just hogs. No Japanese or European touring bikes allowed. A Ducati Multistrada, KTM 1290 or Kawi H2 GT would have destroyed the field. The rules were set up so that HD and Indian could participate. Figures.
Indian beat them the first race but I guess HD won the series.

This is just stupid gimmick racing, put a real HD "bagger" out there and see what you got...
A true racer can race anything right?

Agreed. As usua, Harley has set up rules which eliminates most manufacturers. It's more of an marketing ploy than anything.
I'd rather give this a try, it looks like a hoot. This guy is destroying the sport bikes tho the track does favor the flickable scooter.
