The concept of Superbike racing is very similar to championship stock car racing - to have machines that are visibly as close to production as possible while allowing teams the freedom to improve the power and handling characteristics of the machine. Superstock: The Superstock bikes are quite similar to Supersport bikes, but Superstock are a lot larger. They have twin cylinder, 750cc engines with less than four valves per cylinder, DOT-approved street tires, twin carburetor jetting, and approved aftermarket exhaust stystems. The Superstock machines can have engine modifications but can not have equipment modificatins. Supersport: Supersport bikes are production-based, 600cc machines. These twin-cylinder bikes have less than four valves per cylinder and can have engine modifications. Unlike Superbikes, Supersports can not have equipment modifications and use DOT-approved street tires. Additionally, Supersport bikes have carburetor jetting and can have approved aftermarket exhaust systems. 250 Grand Prix: The 250cc Grand Prix class features twin-cylinder motorcycles built by European and Japanese companies expressly for high speed pavement racing. Typical machines have 250cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder, two-stroke engines designed specifically for road racing. Formula Xtreme: This series showcases the street-based big bore motorcycles like the Honda CBR900, Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSX-R1100.
