FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Bagger Racing League is putting Harley-Davidson versus Indian Motorcycle front and center as it looks toward 2027, staking its claim as the premier U.S. racing league for fans and competitors who live for the rivalry between these two American motorcycle brands.

The Drag Specialties Bagger Racing League “Battle of the Baggers,” presented by Memphis Shades, brings that rivalry to the road course, where racers, independent builders and performance shops put their machines and reputations to the test.

For generations, Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle have inspired fierce loyalty. BRL gives that passion a place to compete — through late-braking passes, battles for position and the pursuit of a championship.

Two Brands. One Proving Ground.

At the heart of BRL is a question that riders have debated for decades: Harley or Indian?

On race weekends, that conversation moves from the dealership floor and garage to the starting grid. The results come down to preparation, rider ability, machine development and execution under pressure.

BRL’s class structure gives competitors opportunities to race at different levels of motorcycle preparation, connecting street-based performance with the demands of dedicated race machinery. It creates a proving ground for the people building, tuning and racing these motorcycles — and gives fans a reason to pick a side.

The Rivalry Builds Toward 2027

As BRL prepares for 2027, the league is making this rivalry a central focus of its promotion and fan experience. The invitation extends to Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle racers, dealerships, aftermarket companies, independent shops and enthusiasts across the country: bring your passion to the paddock and your support to the track.

Every entry adds another contender. Every race gives fans another chapter. Every championship brings new bragging rights.

Harley-Davidson versus Indian Motorcycle. The rivalry lives at BRL.
