Colby Raha Sets New Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Jump Record at Sturgis

At the 85th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, professional motocross rider Colby Raha set a new world record for the longest jump on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, soaring 205 feet. This feat surpassed the previous 15-year record of 183.7 feet held by Seth Enslow, who set it in 2010 on a modified Harley-Davidson XR1200 Sportster. Raha achieved the record on his fourth attempt at the Thunderdome, riding a 550-pound V-Twin Harley-Davidson Sportster at about 80 miles per hour. He credited the spirit of legendary stunt performer Evel Knievel for inspiration and expressed gratitude to his sponsors, including Rockstar Energy. Raha is a decorated rider with multiple X Games medals, having debuted with a gold medal in 2017. Thousands of fans witnessed the record-breaking jump, marking a historic moment at the Sturgis Rally.
