In a landmark announcement, Harley-Davidson, the only major U.S.-based manufacturer of motorcycles, has signed an exclusive, multi-tiered sponsorship package with NHRA that includes designation as the Official Motorcycle of NHRA, title sponsorship of the popular NHRA Sportsman Motorcycle Series and an extraordinary promotion that will provide NHRA fans the chance to win Harley-Davidson motorcycles, it was announced today by officials of the world’s largest motorsports organization.
In the multi-year agreement, the first of its kind for Harley-Davidson, the official status provides Harley-Davidson the opportunity to utilize the NHRA logo in advertising and promotional campaigns. Through the official program, Harley-Davidson also will receive signage at all national events, and will be featured in many NHRA-driven marketing initiatives.
A cornerstone of the Harley-Davidson program will be the introduction of an interactive display in NHRA’s “Nitro Alley” which will allow fans to get a taste of the Harley-Davidson experience through engaging product displays, racing and technical seminars and a special dyno-drag racing simulator using V-Rod motorcycles.
NHRA will execute a unique promotion where a Harley-Davidson motorcycle will be given away at 15 different NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series events. A grand prize motorcycle will also be presented to a lucky fan culminating an overall national drawing. The promotion will be activated through media and marketing partners in each market.

so sick of the Harley crap. Victory bikes are made in the USA and they will put the Harleys to shame
I'll definatley agree with you there. I've had the chance to ride a Victory and was very impressed with basically everyting about it. Seemed to run really strong, plus it had WAY more style than any Harley. If I ever went back to a curiser, I'd definately want one of those.

Tell you what right now my cruiser is a Roadstar warrior, ive owned two previous harleys, a softail custom, and a dyna wideglide. The yamaha totally rapes the harleys in every category.
hey, hasn't "harley" won the last 2 prostock bike titles? maybe this year will be different with the sportbikes getting larger engines and fuel injection.

Joe Average is right. even if you hate them, harleys have been winning. like it or not
Maybe it's because i grew up with harley's, and still want one, will get one. I just dont understand the hate. I'd love to have a custom, but to me a harley, is a great bike, lots of fun, lots of culture

The whole thing about Harly being the official motorcycle of NHRA is that all stock Harleys are anything but performance based. When you hear the name Harley Davidson, the first things that comes to your mind sure won't be SPEED or PERFORMANCE.

That is the reason they are letting the sportbikes get bigger engines and FI. The HD guys had engines almost twice as big. Its no wonder thay won so much.

I realize that Harley has a rules-advantage in the sport, but their bikes do win races and they are paying for the sponsorship. I see no problem with them being the "official" sponser of a sport that they actually seem to do well in.
