Racing Series

MotoAmerica’s premier race class, Superbike showcases America’s and some of the world’s best motorcycle road racers aboard high-horsepower, highly modified, production-based liter-class motorcycles that are capable of speeds approaching 200 miles per hour. These machines are positively bristling with the latest engine, electronics, chassis and suspension, and tire technologies.

What started as a novel idea has become one of MotoAmerica’s most popular and fastest-growing race classes. Touring motorcycles from Harley-Davidson and Indian form the basis for Mission King Of The Baggers, but these motorcycles are far from gentle cruisers.

By the time the teams, aftermarket companies, and riders get done with these bikes, they are bona fide road racers with much-improved ground clearance, race-ready suspensions, aggressive ergonomics, and all sorts of engine modifications that deliver eye-popping performance.

Touring fairings and hard side bags are part of the formula, but even those are highly modified through the use of carbon fiber and other exotic materials.

MotoAmerica’s middleweight race class, Supersport features the series’ rising stars competing aboard production-based motorcycles that are slightly less powerful than Superbikes, but are no less exciting to watch. Known for their sharp handling and high corner speeds, Motovation Supersport bikes provide for close racing and razor-thin margins of victory.

Putting lighter-weight, twin-cylinder motorcycles in the spotlight, the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship is a rapidly evolving race class that initially enabled regional and club racers from around the country to step up to the MotoAmerica series and compete on a national level.

Now, along with that continuing mission, Twins Cup is a stepping stone for young riders who want to move up from the Talent Cup and don’t feel quite ready for Supersport or racing in Europe.

Twins Cup has increased in popularity since its inaugural season in 2018 due to the manufacturers introducing more and more of this category of motorcycles. Newer twin-cylinder models like the Aprilia RS 660, Yamaha YZF-R7, and Suzuki GSX-8R are the perfect choices for Twins Cup competition.

The Mission Super Hooligan National Championship (MSHNC) was created by Roland Sands Design in conjunction with MotoAmerica, and it features motorcycles from various disciplines, along with a broad set of rules meant to bring new riders and brands into road racing.

The Championship features 750cc and up, air- or water-cooled, 2 cylinders, 125 horsepower or less, minimum weight of 420 pounds, no bodywork, stock frames, high-handlebar motorcycles. Electric motorcycles are also eligible for competition. The American Air-Cooled V-Twin Challenge is a separate class within the MSHNC and offers $2,500 in prizes per race to American air-cooled V-twin-powered machines, on top of the $2,500 in MSHNC race contingencies being paid out.

A focused initiative that enables a group of individually selected female motorcyclists to customize and race-prep their own Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 streetbikes, then learn to race them, and ultimately compete in their own feature events during select MotoAmerica race weekends, the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. program is another one of MotoAmerica’s successful new undertakings.
