Harley-Davidson riders have been victorious across major motorcycle racing classes this year. From the King of the Baggers competitions to Super Hooligan and American Flat Track racing, Harley racers have been hogging the winners podiums.
On a recent May weekend, Harley-Davidson X Dynojet Factor Race Team leader Kyle Wyman increased his Championship lead, the Super Hooligan National Championship race winners all rode Harleys, and the AFT SuperTwins class winner rode a Harley-Davidson to victory.
Why racing matters to Harley-Davidson
Motorcycles and racing have always been closely tied, even more than cars. The independence of riding a two-wheeler may empower riders’ competitive spirit, but whatever the root cause, motorcycle companies have capitalized on racing success to build reputations and fuel sales.
