Attacking a circuit on a bagger — I thought it was a joke at first. But it's actually incredible. Leaning that huge frame over and diving flat-out into a corner. Riding that picks a fight with the laws of physics. When a genuine racer like Granado rides it seriously, the intensity is on a whole different level. Unconventional, but this is undeniably racing.

Wasn't Eric Granado a former MotoGP rider?

Right, right — that's a rider who came over from the road racing side.

Honestly it has a bit of a novelty-race feel, but if it's gaining popularity, it's interesting as a culture.

Given how heavy baggers are, braking is probably going to be the key battleground.

Heavyweight machines attacking a circuit just looks insane — really fun to watch.

Racing baggers on a circuit is such a unique idea — MotoAmerica's King of the Baggers really lit the fuse on this.

So a category that originated in America is now spreading to Europe too.
