Screamin ' Eagle Street Glide Special ST , Team Harley-Davidson Germany , Frankfurt , Germany : This " close to stock " Harley-Davidson FLHXST Street Glide saw lots of " race action " in the Bagger Party Race Series of 2023 , held in a three-part series at various kart tracks all over Germany . As rules limited the modification costs , Harley- Davidson Germany GmbH District Manager André Jaeger had only the allowed modifications performed to what was a " reference " Bagger race bike for the " Stock " class Harley-Davidsons . Upgraded with Dr . Jekill & Mr . Hyde exhaust system for the 117 Screamin ' Eagle Milwaukee-Eight motor , Öhlins shocks and Metzeler tires , the bike was used by different racers who raced it in the " Stock " class of the series , including André Jaeger himself and " hotshot " Peet Gerards ( J & H ). The start number 03 came naturally in the year of Harley-Davidson ' s 120th anniversary , since the bikes were presented at many events , and this one is street-legal anyway . www . baggerpartyrace . de
H-D Germany Pan America Super Moto Racer " PLAN B ": A Harley- Davidson Pan America , created by H-D Germany ' s André Jaeger for the 2023 introduced " Hooligan " class of the Bagger Party Race Series 2023 , the Super Moto style Pan America was modified for fast paced road racing on tight Go-Kart tracks . The hybrid-looking mix of Pan America with Sportster S tank and tailed lost considerable weight in the process - everything that wasn ' t needed to race was " off " when the bike took shape in the press workshop of H-D Germany at SKS in the freezing Westerwald forest in Mogendorf . Dr . Jekyll & Mr . Hyde delivered its Pan Am mufflers for the ride , Thunderbike fitted CNC-machined pegs , foldable . The engine was upgraded to 160 + hp by remapping , power which came in quite handy when racing the bike in the " Hooligan " races of the 2023 season . All riders had great fun with this ride built by André Jaeger and H-D press workshop manager Stephan Maertz .
Wilbers ' Project Lap Record : A Harley-Davidson Sportster S , built for breaking the motorcycle lap record at Oschersleben racetrack , ridden by Thilo Guenther not just at the Oschersleben record , but also at several " Hooligan " races in the Bagger Party Race series in 2023 . Upgraded with Wilbers Suspension components , Thunderbike parts and Dr . Jekill & Mr . Hyde exhaust system , the bike has been slimmed down from 228 to 209 kg , engine remapping by DON Performance to 136 hp , and the belt was swapped for a racing chain drive . BMW M carbon wheels helped saving weight ; Thunderbike also delivered the footpegs for this highly modified Sportster S . Metzeler race slicks allowed a lap time at Oschersleben of 1:422 minutes - the best Oschersleben time for a Harley-Davidson ! www . harley-bs . de ; www . thunderbike . de
