King of the Baggers set for European arrival with new MSVR deal
MSVR, the British Superbike Championship promoter, has confirmed a deal with MotoAmerica to bring the King of the Baggers series to Europe.
The MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series is set to head to Europe after a deal was struck between MotoAmerica and MSVR, the promoters of British Superbikes.
The MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series is one of the most stand-out championships in motorcycle racing, with full factory entries from the likes of Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle, who field huge, almost-two-litre touring-derived race bikes.
Since its first, one-off race in 2020, the series has grown in both popularity and calendar, and now it is looking to grow geographically.
A deal between MotoAmerica and Motor Sport Vision Racing (MSVR), the promoter of the British Superbike Championship, will look to bring the series to Europe.
MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey said: “The growth of the MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers series has been phenomenal and its popularity has brought a lot of new spectators to our championship and in turn a lot of those also become Superbike fans.
“Our relationship with MotorSport Vision Racing and Stuart Higgs makes them the perfect partner to help us get the MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers to European race fans.”
MSVR Bennetts BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs concluded: "I have watched with great interest as the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series has captured the attention of fans, the motorcycle industry and the media alike across the USA, with its totally unique, seen to be believed motorsport spectacle. I am confident that we can develop the series to a new European audience and replicate the success already achieved.”
All of the 2023 King of the Baggers races can be watched on the MotoAmerica YouTube channel.
