WSBK coming to India

March 12, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Buddh International Circuit to be the venue

The World Superbike Championship (WSBK) is the highest platform for production based motorcycle racing in the world. The motorcycles raced here are tuned up versions of road bikes like Honda’s CBR 1000 RR Fireblade or BMW’s S1000RR and are almost as fast as the MotoGP machines.


Until last year, most of the rounds of the championship were held in European countries with the exception of USA and Australia. However, the FIM and the championship promotors (Infront Motor Sports) now want to expand the sport in Asia due to its growing motorcycle industry. Russia will its first World Superbike round in Moscow this year followed by Indonesia from next year and talks are on to add an Indian round too!


Paolo Falmmini, CEO Infront Motor Sports has confirmed that they are considering an Indian round to be held on the Buddh International circuit from as early as next year. Flammini is  impressed with the successful introduction of Formula One in India and believes that WSBK has a lot to gain from the exposure received here as most of the manufacturers involved in the sport have their subsidaires in the country.

Hero MotoCorp ties up with Erik Buell Racing

February 22, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Hero Moto Corp Ltd (HMCL) announces its strategic alliance with Eric Buell Racing (EBR) of America

Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (HMCL), announced its partnership with Erik Buell Racing (EBR) of the US, in multiple areas of collaboration, today. HMCL will receive support in terms of updated technology and design to develop future models and stay ahead of the competition.

Thanks to this alliance, Hero MotoCorp will, for the first time, be entering into the world of international motorcycle racing. The company will mark its entry by sponsoring two teams: Team Hero and AMSOIL Hero – which is a first by any Indian two-wheeler company at the AMA Pro Racing National Guard Superbikes Championship. Racer Danny Eslick will represent “Team Hero” while racer Geoff May will represent team AMSOIL Hero – both riding on the new EBR 1190RS bikes.

Hero MotoCorp also showcased an EBR 1190RS at the press conference in Delhi. The EBR 1190RS – with a peak power of well over 200 PS – is the flagship bike from EBR, and the company is producing only 100 inaugural units, including a handful of the carbon edition package. This bike has also won awards for spectacular performance, namely “Superbike of the year” and “Green Bike of the year.” It is hinted that these bikes, in a 175 PS version, weighing less than 175 kg, maybe available in India in the next 2 years. The 200 PS version is already being used across America, and following the alliance, it will be a part of the Championship to be held from 17th-19th March 2012 across 20 speedways.

“The plan is not to introduce bikes in the near future. It is to collaborate with EBR on several motoring fronts, that include technologies such as emissions, costs and belt drive mechanisms,” said Mr Pawan Munjal, HMCL Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Some technologies maybe incorporated into HMCL bikes, around 2014, another of the models being the Series Hybrid Leap, showcased at the recent Auto Expo 2012.
