CLUB LEVEL RACING
This is the grassroots level of racing and the breeding ground for the best riders in the nation. Several race organizations give racers the opportunity to hone their skills by offering different race classes to participate in. Each organization has a different set of rules & requirements as far as equipment, machinery and rider qualifications go. There are various regional club-level racing organizations that exist. Some of the most notable ones which most southeast racers participate in are:
CCS (Championship Cup Series) - http://www.ccsracing.com
WERA (Western Eastern Motorcycle Assoc.) Motorcycle Roadracing - http://www.wera.com
AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Assoc.) - http://www.ahrma.org
USGPRU (US Grand Prix Racing Union) - http://www.usgpru.net

NATIONAL LEVEL
Once a racer establishes his/her presence in the grassroots level with impressive results and the drive to be a professional motorcycle racer, several factory teams, support teams, privateer teams and industry sponsors take notice. They invest time, energy, effort and funding at the professional level. AMA Pro Racing (www.amasuperbike.com) is the national sanctioning body for pro motorcycle roadracing in the US and is a subsidiary of the AMA (American Motorcycle Assoc.). In addition to roadracing, it also sanctions supercross, motocross, hillclimb, trials, flat track and supermoto (motard) racing in the US.

The AMA Superbike Championship is the official name of the roadracing series, however, it offers the following competition classes for 2005 - Superbike, Supersport, Superstock and Formula Xtreme.The Superbike class represents the top level of road race competition in America, with exceptionally talented racers vying for victory on heavily modified production motorcycles displacing 901cc-1000cc (4-stroke with 2 or more cylinders). The Supersport and Superstock classes are for lightly modified production motorcycles, displacing 0cc-600cc (4 stroke multi-cylinders) and 745cc-1000cc (4-stroke multi-cylinders), respectively. Formula Xtreme is for modified 600cc production motorcycles and twins up to 1350cc (specifically 400cc-600cc 4-stroke multi-cylinders; 595cc-750cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled twin cylinders; 850cc-1350cc 4-stroke air-cooled twin cyclinders).

INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
Superbike World Championship - http://www.worldsbk.com
This series is sanctioned by the FIM (Federacion Internationale de Motocyclisme). For many years, WSBK allowed for machines with 1000cc V-twin engines (principally Ducati, but later Aprilia and Honda) to go up against the 750cc 4-cylinders (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki). The twins definitely had the advantage, especially where power delivery was concerned, and this explains the proliferation of Ducatis in recent years. Although the 750s were allowed a lighter weight limit in 2002, to try and even things up a little more, it didn’t seem to change the position greatly. However, with this in mind, the 2003 series followed the lead of British Superbike, and allowed four cylinder machines with a maximum capacity of 1000cc. As well as these bikes, and the new Ducati 999, the year saw the delayed entry of Carl Fogarty’s Foggy Petronas FP1, which has a 3-cylinder 900cc engine. From 2004, the teams must run Pirelli tires, despite most having been with Michelin or Dunlop. Partly as a result of this ruling, factory teams from the Japanese manufacturers have been thin on the ground lately. Many AMA racers graduate to the WSBK series, however WSBK racers have also set foot on AMA soil or graduate to MotoGP.

MotoGP - http://www.motogp.com
MotoGP is considered the pinnacle of professional roadracing. It's the Formula 1 of motorcycles. Officially, MotoGP is the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix series and has existed since 1949. The series is also sanctioned by the FIM but managed by Dorna Sports, a Spanish company. The big difference between MotoGP and AMA/WSBK is it's for pure race bikes only (GP 'grand prix' bikes), products of enormous research and development efforts. No production bikes are allowed and the bikes are not sold for public consumption. Average pricetags for these machines are in millions. There have always been categories for 125cc, 250cc, and 500cc. Other categories have come and go over the years, depending on the popularity of various models. In 2002, 500cc opened up to include 990cc motorcycles as well. The 500cc class is now known as just 'MotoGP'.

Other roadracing series shown on TV in the US - World Supersport, World Superstock, Suzuki 24-Hour Endurance Race, Boxer Cup and Isle of Mann TT are definitely worth checking out. For the Speed Channel broadcast schedule for motorcycle roadracing, do a seach HERE.
