Attacking Laguna Seca on a bagger - anyone hearing this for the first time would think, are they serious? But this is a legitimate race in North America. Diving into the drop of the Corkscrew on that huge, heavy tourer - it's exactly because it defies common sense that it's thrilling. The nerve and technique to wrestle a heavyweight around, I genuinely respect that.

Tourer racing is based on production bikes, so it's an interesting effort in terms of technical feedback too.

It's a category that could never exist in Japan, so just watching it feels refreshingly novel.

How much do bikes in the bagger class typically weigh anyway?

Baggers usually compete at over 300kg, so it must take real skill to race them.

The very idea of racing tourers is such an American brand of glorious insanity.

A heavyweight bagger charging through the Corkscrew—just imagining that must look absurdly intense.

Attacking corners with that much heavy bodywork must be a whole different level of difficulty from a normal supersport.
