According to Motorsport.com, the MotoGP World Championship promoters have struck a deal with Harley-Davidson for a one-make championship in the upcoming grand prix season, featuring a calendar of up to seven events, each having two races. The possibility of the new series being under the umbrella of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) remains uncertain, potentially offering more exposure and credibility. The Harley-Davidson championship will alternate with MotoE, which is set to start its seven-round calendar at the French Grand Prix this weekend. One confirmed round for the new series is at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Texas, with about 8 teams fielding 2 riders each for a 16-bike grid. While there already exists the American King of the Baggers competition featuring Harley-Davidson and Indian, the upcoming international series is completely separate, aiming for an official announcement on Saturday.
