Have you always wanted to know what its like to race
a motorcycle? We know you've all seen it on the tube and probably
seen some races at the track but did you ever think that one day,
IT COULD BE YOU? Who knows, you could even be faster
than most of the riders you see out there but you're also probably
thinking that the expenses involved in racing a motorcycle, heck,
even an entire team. But then again, you've never heard of anything
like what we've been able to conjure up for the racer in you that
has yet to come out. Here it is:
Team MOTO-RR is a race series specially
organized for riders like you who've probably wanted to race or
get into racing but have never looked into the process of getting
a sponsors and setting up a race bike... the list is endless, complicated
and requires too much money. MOTO-RR is here to
defy everything you've ever known about the complications of getting
into racing motorcycles.
MOTO-RR has been meticulously designed
to be an entry level racing platform for anyone and everyone who
is interested in being in the track. It's a one day affair - and
will be only held 4 times this year. So, if you have that competetive
spirit in you and at the same time you simply want to have fun,
MOTO-RR is the race series for you.
Any motorcycle with a displacement of 250cc or larger
can entered the series. If you think a liter-class bike will help
you on the track, then by all means, sign up. You and your riding
buddies or Motorcycle Club can be paired up with seasoned racers
so you can gain valuable lessons from their experience.
Everyone has a chance to win. The concept of the
MOTO-RR is based on a team effort. Each team, will
have to consist of 4 riders and at least 2 bikes (yes you can even
share your bikes) - will be racing against riders with the same
skill classification.
This makes racing more fun and affordable and you'll
even get the chance to see youeself on TV through Byk101's telecast.
Cash prizes are at stake - its not about who is the
fastest rider or who's got the fastest bike but
who has the best team working together that will eventually win!
Sign yourself up and / or your club today and experience
the real thrill in motorcycle racing!
