The American Motorcycle Association Superbike racing series began in 1976, with the inaugural race at Daytona International Speedway. Motorcycles raced in this class were based on regular production models and were limited to a maximum of four cylinders and 1000cc displacement. In spite of this, the first race was won by
a
BMW with only 900cc and two cylinders. An identical BMW would go on to win the championship that year. However, the European dominance would not re-emerge until 1993. Superbikes of Japanese origin would control the class until then. |
