High-performance racing motorcycles
Superbikes are high-performance production motorcycles, typically with engines of 1000cc or more, built for speed and racing capability while remaining street-legal.
The term also refers to a class of motorcycle racing featuring such machines: He watches the World Superbike Championship every weekend.
Superbikes represent the pinnacle of mass-produced motorcycle engineering, distinguished from purpose-built racing bikes by their availability to consumers.
