    yeah it would! not quite as cool as supermoto but much easier for them to manage and display.

    X-games supermoto was some of the best racing the US has ever seen.

    That's a bold statement not far off base. Was definitely some of the most enjoyable racing Ive seen. Such a shame in my opinion that supermoto popularity was so short lived in the U.S. Last year I looked to see if there was any supermoto around the southeast to go watch and sadly I couldn't find one event.

    Aren't they supposed to be racing Harley's new 750 entry level bikes?

    that'l work! even better IMO would be with e-bikes. flattrackin e-bikes!

    the original superbikers was the best racing the US has ever seen. yeah, I said it!

    problem here is that the average american has been domesticated to such an extend that their attention span is now measured in seconds and greed is beyond out of control.

    I was really optimistic back when the AMA started pro supermoto but it didnt last long for whatever reasons. great while it lasted for some of us though.

    I still prefer the original superbikers format and track layouts over the current supermoto stuff in europe and elsewhere. it just made more sense that way and was more of an even playing field for such a wide variety of talent.

    if we could somehow regrow that superbikers spirit here again. sure could use it right about now.
