Take a look at last Sunday’s article in MD. Our first exposure to SuperTT racing in the U.S. occurred in a parking lot in Southern California with some big-name riders participating. In Europe, the sport is known as Supermotard, and it is huge.
Racing dirt bikes with slicks on tight road courses (with a little dirt thrown in) is exciting for the fans and the riders, alike. It combines skills from roadracing, dirt track and motocross. The race bikes are relatively cheap to purchase and maintain, as well.
In Europe, races are held both indoors and outdoors, and the number of fans is quite large — riders make a living racing Supermotard in Europe. Is this the motorcycle racing style that will be the next big thing in the U.S.? E-mail us with your thoughts, and take a look at Don Canet’s web site for some additional information on Supermotard racing and bikes.
