American bike-maker Harley Davidson this time around flexes its muscles on a non tarmac surface. Popular 'Street 750' motorbikes from Harley shall be participating at the high adrenalin induced flat track exhibition race before it is launched in the American market. At the event, AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National champion Brad Baker aka 'The Bullet' lead the exhibition race riding atop the Street 750.
Dino Bernacchi, Director U.S. Marketing, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, said, “The action-packed environment at X Games Austin fits perfectly with the attitude and identity of the new Street 750 motorcycle. And, since we gathered input from more than 3,000 customers, riders and dealers in more than 10 countries around the world to create the Street platform, it seems only fitting to let our fans decide if Flat Track racing should become an X Games medal event.” Furthermore Bernacchi added, “Long before events like X Games, Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders were pushing the limits of their motorcycles up hills, around wooden board tracks, across beaches, on ice and through the mud. The Street 750 is the perfect motorcycle to help introduce the next generation of passionate riders to the amazing experiences and thrills that await them on two wheels.”
The event marks the spirit of the customer-led product development approach followed by Harley-Davidson. The fans get an opportunity here to decide if the Flat Track racing can become a future medal sport at X Games Austin, by using #XGamesFlatTrack to express their opinion. Highlights of the event shall be aired on ESPN during the coverage of X Games competition.
