Proving you can never have too much of a good thing, Rob Buydos’ one-off harebrained scheme is now going big as The King of the Baggers will return in 2021 as a five-round series held in conjunction with the 2021 MotoAmerica HONOS Superbike Series. “Honestly, the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers debut race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca went better than we ever dreamed of,” said MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey.
“The popularity of the event was crazy so how could we not do more? We know there are plenty of Bagger fans out there as our videos of the debut Laguna event were watched by millions,” he adds. “Having five races gives us the opportunity to bring King of the Baggers to fans in several different areas of the country. We’ve also opted to make the series open to any qualified racer, which should bring new teams and new bike builds to the series from the aftermarket and motorcycle dealers who specialize in baggers.”
