The heat of the summer brings out a classic race battle between Canada’s top motorcycle riders as they compete in a doubleheader points race for the national Canadian Super Bike Championship. This is the premier race of the season for motorcycle racing in Canada. The motorcycle classes racing in this years event are the Pro Sport Bike, Harley-Davidson XR1200 Cup, Amateur SuperBike, Amateur Sport Bike and the Honda CBR250R Series.

There have been many improvements to the track and the facilities at Mosport; including many safety improvements for riders. Will the changes at corners 2 and 3 allow the riders to push harder for the lap record for the Pro Superbike which is 1:21.084. There are many indications that this will be a record setting year at Mosport due to the track improvements and new spectator facilities/services.

Lets talk about some of the race bikes you will see in the gallery. First up is the CBR1000RR  from Honda. This bike has gone through years of refinement to its race pedigree and the engine now delivers a mayhem inducing 131 horsepower. The CBR1000RR is available now from your local dealership along with a hefty amount payable to your insurance company. The Honda will face stiff competition from the BMW S1000RR in the Pro Superbike race. To round out the gallery we have selected images from the amateur superbike, production, CBR250 and Harley Davidson classes.
