Harley-Davidson Enters MotoGP Racing Scene

Harley-Davidson has entered the MotoGP racing scene after a small team built their first racing bike in a garage during the pandemic, impressing company leadership enough to establish an official racing program.

Jason Kehl, technical director of Harley-Davidson, revealed how the racing program began during the pandemic when six team members started building their first racing bike in his garage during their free time. Despite having other responsibilities, the passionate team dedicated their weekends to the project without a clear timeline or expectations.

The initiative proved successful when their first competition results impressed company leadership, leading to a request for an additional bike and the establishment of the racing program within just a few months. This grassroots effort marks Harley-Davidson's ambitious entry into the elite MotoGP racing competition. michezonews.co.za
