Introducing the 2023 Indian Challenger RR King of the Baggers Replica
Here we have the striking 2023 Indian Challenger RR King of the Baggers replica, a special piece of machinery as it’s the seventh out of only 29 units ever made. This model is a shining example of the collaboration between Indian and S&S Cycle, celebrating their triumph in the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers race series championship back in 2022. Beneath that aggressive exterior lies a powerhouse—a liquid-cooled PowerPlus 60-degree 112ci V-twin hooked up to a six-speed transmission, all dressed in an eye-catching black with white, red, and gold graphics set against a robust cast aluminum frame.

The Look and Feel of Speed
When it comes to aesthetics, the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers Replica spares no detail. It flaunts a sleek black finish, accented with those sharp white, red, and gold highlights, complete with racing decals that are just begging for attention. The fiberglass rear fender, raised Saddlemen race seat, and carbon-fiber saddlebags scream sportsmanship.
Performance Meets Precision
Let’s talk wheels—this beauty rolls on forged aluminum 17″ wheels, painted in black and wrapped in 120/70 front and 200/60 rear Dunlop Sportmax Q5 tires. Now, stopping power is no small feat; up front, you’ll find a pair of 330mm drilled rotors paired with radially mounted Brembo Monobloc four-piston calipers. The rear features a single 300mm drilled disc with a Hayes two-piston caliper—the setup is decidedly race-worthy.
Suspension Dynamics
- Front: Fully adjustable Öhlins FGR250 inverted 43mm fork
- Rear: Fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock
- Swingarm: Aluminum
This machine is built to handle curves with confidence, thanks to a suspension system that delivers unrivaled precision and stability.
Tracking Every Detail
Now, let’s dive into the cockpit. A one-piece handlebar rests securely above adjustable billet aluminum triple clamps, while the AIM DL2 data logger, sitting just up front, keeps a sharp eye on oil pressure, engine temperature, and battery amperage. Not to forget, it’s fitted with a GPS system and lap timers—a proper race bike would be incomplete without these critical instruments. Curiously, the data logger indicates one test lap completed by S&S Cycle, but the bike doesn’t come with an odometer, so total mileage remains a mystery.
Pure Power Under the Hood
What gives this beast its roar? The liquid-cooled PowerPlus 60-degree 112ci V-twin engine, of course. Packed with an adjustable Maxx Sport ECU, S&S air intake system, electronic fuel injection featuring that all-important 78mm throttle body, and S&S camshafts, this setup is primed for heart-pounding adventures. Completing the ensemble is the S&S two-into-one exhaust system, designed to make heads turn and pulses race.
Power Delivery System
- Clutch: Multi-plate wet clutch
- Transmission: Six-speed
- Drive: Chain
And because we’re talking about raw performance, power is sent to the rear wheel with surgical efficiency, ensuring every inch of asphalt is met with enthusiasm.
Final Thoughts
In a nutshell, the 2023 Indian Challenger RR King of the Baggers replica is not just a motorcycle; it’s a testament to what can be achieved when passion meets precision engineering. Keep in mind, this thrill-seeker doesn’t come with a title or registration—it’s being sold on a manufacturer’s certificate of origin—but for those with a taste for speed and an eye for aesthetics, it’s a dream realized.
