To celebrate its victory in the AMA ’ s King of the Baggers class - you know , the bonkers place where massive cruisers get kitted out for racing and go at it – Indian is set to release a limited run of Challenger RR race replicas for those wanting a taste of the action . Bagger racing hasn ’ t caught on here yet , but maybe it should be something we should be looking at adopting . There ’ s drama , incredible modification to take a hefty touring bike and make it tackle the ins and outs of the track , and more in the class which is dominated by Indian Motorcycle and arch-rival Harley-Davidson . The Challenger RR is , as the name suggests , a race replica as close as you can get to the real deal . To add to the allure , Indian is building just 29 examples and according to Polaris representative , Michael Blundo , just one example is heading to Oceania . Like the championship-winning race bike , each of the 29 Challenger RRs will be built by the team at S & S with Indian boldly stating that the bikes will be the first time a race-ready bagger will be available to the public for purchase . “ Originally , the thought of road racing baggers was perplexing to many and even downright offensive to some road racing purists ,” explains Gary Gray , Vice President – Racing , Technology
