M. A. Superbike / Stock 1000 "Rumor"

Assuming manufacturers still have any interest in "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday", what engine class of sporty motorcycles is the hottest and most innovative coming from manufacturers right now?

It ain't Superbikes.

 

Need I remind you most dealerships are closed on Monday’s..

 

what is the methanol monster?

 

Something that they ran back in the day, when cable TV had Thursday Night Thunder… (aka broadcast of many classes of motorcycle road racing) in the late 80’s.

Aka “when men were men, tires were shit, and tracks were dangerous”

There was sponsorship money available for many race teams and many very different concepts of who could get around a track, the fastest.

 

Thats cool as shit. I was 2. lol

 

And many of the guys on here were already racing …

 

Damn kids...

Some of us had retired from racing before this era.

 

It's crazy that we still have two 1000cc classes. They should call it Superbike and use the Stock 1000 rules. How many true Superbikes are on the grid anyway?

 

Are there 3 1000 classes?

 

This is one of the bikes that showed up at Pocono back in the day!

 

Superbike Cup, still STK1000 bikes.

 

Can't forget the baggers.

 

Look at the current Hooligans rule book, specifically air cooled twins. If it's air cooled, two cylinder, do what you want. Turbo breathing into a roots blower on top of a 3000cc backyard monster hand chewed out of block of magnesium, let fly! Just remember your pocket rocket has to run against Harley's pocketbook and the Pan Ams they're throwing it at.
