King of the Baggers™ crown is back with Harley-Davidson

Racing has always been Harley-Davidson’s proving ground. From the cinder tracks of the early 1900s to today’s MotoAmerica® Mission® King of the Baggers™, Mission® Super Hooligan®, and Progressive® American Flat Track™, our bikes have carried the fight.

And for 122 years we’ve proven one thing with every lap: Harley-Davidson sets the pace of American racing.

The same drive that pushed our first dirt-trackers onto fairground circuits fuels the baggers and hooligan machines rewriting the rulebook today.

Another season awaits. Engines are tuned. Riders are ready. And fans are hungry. The 2026 season will be another opportunity for us to prove what we all know: Harley-Davidson will dominate whatever track you put us on. We’ll see you trackside.

THE KING RETURNS

MotoAmerica® Mission® King of the Baggers™ crown is back with Harley-Davidson, and Kyle Wyman made sure of it in Austin, TX. At Circuit of the Americas, the factory rider clinched the 2025 championship with the same composure and speed that have defined his entire season. From Daytona to Mid-Ohio, Wyman and his factory prepped Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® set the pace, stacking wins and podiums until the points gap became insurmountable. He rolled into Texas needing only three points to secure the title, a position earned through months of dominance.

NEW CHAMP IN TOWN

James Rispoli has done what few thought possible. Riding the KWR prepped Harley-Davidson® Pan America® ST, the multi-discipline veteran stormed to victory at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, securing not just the race win but his first-ever Mission® Super Hooligan® National Championship powered by Harley-Davidson. For much of 2025, Rispoli was the man in the middle: fast enough to make the frontrunners nervous, consistent enough to keep himself in mathematical contention, but not the odds-on favorite to take the crown. That all changed at Mid-Ohio. It’s the kind of story racing fans live for: the underdog season that turned into a title run.

TWO MANUFACTURER TITLES

Aside from bringing home rider hardware in the MotoAmerica Mission® Super Hooligan® National Championship and Mission® King of the Baggers™, Harley-Davidson Racing also secured two Manufacturer Championships, dominating AFT SuperTwins and AdventureTrackers. Briar Bauman and Brandon Robinson kept the H-D® XG750R at the front with relentless podiums against a seven-manufacturer field, while Jesse Janisch, Danny Eslick, and Henry Wiles powered the Harley-Davidson Pan America in AdventureTracker through a season of top finishes, Janisch adding two wins to clinch the title at the final round.
