I took the survey and then thought about the fact that EBR/Buell was not listed. I hope it was an over site and not some body figuring we would think Harley is the same as Buell. I have owned at least 1 Harley since 1972 and I have never thought of my Buell as being the same as owning a Harley. If they believe that they are missing a large section of their potential audience.

I find it interesting that there are not very many teams declaring they will run in superbike this year. By now we normally know the almost the whole grid. Last year teams were declaring without having the schedule.

KTM still unknown
With Pegram going to WSB Foremost is unknown
Ulirch's team may race supersport
Yoshi only has 1 rider signed in Hayden
The Graves boys are in for the win, but that's really it. It will be amazing if the grid is full of privateers with the new rules making for more competitive racing, I think we will see much fuller grids in Superstock 1000.

Pegram was on Pittpass radio the other night, indicated EBR is working on putting together a team here to run in the series. Nothing nailed down as of yet.

To what I was told teams were waiting on TV coverage announcements so they could then secure sponsorships.

With a decent rider I think the EBR will prove to be hard to beat in the SS1k class.

and Aaron Yates is likely looking to spend just one comfortable night, sleeping......


2015 looks to be a very tough find-a-ride or keep-a-ride season, in general - & MotoAmerica, in particular

in EBR Standard Time [2-4 months behind GMT], the US sponsorship & MotoAmerica personnel & SBK/MA testing decisions will eventually be implemented

Actually with Moto America having Television coverage the teams are looking for sponsorship. Many were holding out to hear for that announcement

BTW...Curt take a look at the fact that the rules say AMA Roadracing Rules. DMG relinquished the rights to MotoAmerica but yes it's still called AMA Pro Racing

Its funny but every time I read a Superbike rule book I always come away thinking its easier to just buy a crate engine because EVERYTHING else SEEMS like it can be modified or replaced. LOL Here's to Superstock racing !

If everything works right, the superstock class should have the most entries and the best racing. I would go to the races just to watch that class alone.

I think the Superstock 1000 class would be some great paint rubbing elbow throwing racing! With that kind of machine parity, even an alien makes one mistake and suddenly he has three or four privateers trying to get buy! Can't wait!

I listened to Tues nite's Pit Pass Radio for a brief interview with Rainey -
he acknowledged that SuperBike entries were expected to be few
[& apparently are.....], so SuperStock 1k entries will pick up the slack

IIRC, the only difference in MA 1000-class numbering is SBK[black] & SSK[blue] on the same color background? - someone, please tell me there're more differences.....
