M. A. Superbike / Stock 1000 "Rumor"

[Steeltoe]

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.

The same tracks exist that they used to run on. The methanol monster wouldn’t be any faster today than it was back in the day.

Sorry but with suspension and engineering and tire improvements the current version of it would be tons faster.

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.

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?

 

[Mongo]

Enough to draw in fans - even if only a handful there are fans out there for the trick shit.

On the whole rumor thing - if you pay any attention, MA follows FIM standards, if WSB and BSB go away then yeah, MA SB might as well, until that point it is highly unlikely.

 

[Jeff McKinney]

Are there 3 1000 classes?

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

 

[Mongo]

Are there 3 1000 classes?

Sort of - SBK, Stock 1k and then the subgroup of SBK whatever that is called.

Superbike Cup, still STK1000 bikes.

 

[Mongo]

Yeah that's it. I knew it was the STK bikes but never can remember the name

Can't forget the baggers.

So you’re saying to bring back the F-USA run what ya brung class? Say less my good man!

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.
