Sureflight Superbike Masters Championship

By ASBK Trackside Commentator Mark Bracks

For the opening round of the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championships presented by Motul, the popular “Superbike Masters“ returns for another hit out.

The “Superbike Masters” class is a throwback to when big-bore racing attracted thousands of fans track side to witness races with similar machinery to what they rode to the track.

The first Australian Superbike Championship was held in 1987. Since then, many riders have had their name etched their name on the trophy; Robbie Phillis, Malcolm “Wally” Campbell, Troy Corser, the late Kirk McCarthy, Anthony Gobert, Marty Craggill, former MA President, Peter Goddard, and ASBK commentator Steve Martin are just some that were crowned Australian Superbike Champions.

The Superbike Masters category is open to bikes from the bygone era and with a full field of 40 bikes spread over four classes.

The P5 ‘Unlimited Forgotten Era’ is for machines manufactured from 1973 to 1982. These are split into 2 classes; P5 Unlimited and P5F1 for aftermarket framed bikes like the Harris, Spondon and the GPspec Yamaha TZ750 two-strokes.

The P6 ‘New Era’ is open to bikes from 1983 to 1990 and are made up of Formula 750 machines like the Honda RC30 and P6 Formula 1300 - for machines such as the Yamaha FZR1000 and the aforementioned CB1100R.

The full field of competitors are sure to provide very entertaining battles.
