Think you’re fast? Harley-Davidson will pay you money to race their bikes! More than $500,000 is available for racers who ride H-Ds in MotoAmerica’s King Of The Baggers and Super Hooligan series, as well as in American Flat Track and its new AdventureTrackers series.
If you’re bold enough to try to compete with Kyle Wyman and Troy Herfoss in KOTB, you’ll need to finish races inside the top 10 to earn H-D contingency. Same for the Super Hooligan class.
Troy Herfoss Interview: The New King Of The Baggers
If you’re a dirt-tracker, you’ll get some Harley greenbacks if you score top-10 results on an XG750R in SuperTwins. You’ll need top-5s on a Pan America in the AdventureTrackers class (inaugurated at Sturgis in 2024) to earn some H-D dough.
Of course, “terms and conditions apply.” Read Harley’s press release below for more info.
