AMA motorcycle races are defined by some of the closest and most heated competition in Motorsports.

The Superbike class has been the centerpiece of major-league motorcycle racing in the United States for nearly 30 years and the tradition continues in 2009 with the AMA Pro National Guard American Superbike class.

American Superbikes all have direct roots to production street bikes and, not surprisingly, each eligible model represents the most powerful motorcycle available from top manufacturers such as Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Aprilia, Buell, Ducati and others.

The real proof of the power of American Superbikes comes on the track where top speeds in excess of 190 mph are not uncommon. Keeping that type of power on the track is critical in addition to being able to rely on the brakes to slow the high-powered machines in a matter of seconds. Dunlop and its proven racing tires are the series-standard application for American Superbike and all other AMA Pro Road Racing classes.

As impressive as the machines are in AMA Pro American Superbike, it is the all-star lineup of riders that put on the show. Reigning Champion Ben Spies has moved on to World Superbike competition, but plenty of other star power is ready for action in 2009. The list includes six-time Superbike Champion Mat Mladin, 1998 Champion Ben Bostrom, Josh Hayes, Tommy Hayden, Aaron Yates, Geoff May, Larry Pegram, Blake Young, Aaron Gobert, Neil Hodgson and many more.
