Super Bike Racing Details
Superbike racing motorcycles are derived from standard production
models, so for a bike to be eligible, the manufacturer must first homologate
the model and manufacture the required number of roadgoing machines.
While rules vary from series to series, in general the motorcycles must
maintain the same profile as their roadgoing counterparts, with the same
overall appearance as seen from the front, rear and sides. In addition,
the frame cannot be modified. Teams may modify some elements of the
bike, including the suspensions, brakes, swingarm, and the diameter and
size of the wheels.Superbike racing motorcycles must have four-stroke engines of between 850 cc and 1200 cc for twins, and between 750 cc and 1000 cc for four cylinder machines.
The restriction to production models distinguishes Superbike racing from MotoGP racing, which uses prototype machines that bear little resemblance to production machines. This is somewhat similar to the distinction in car racing between touring cars and Formula One cars, though the performance gap between Superbike and MotoGP racing is much smaller.
