AMA Pro Racing Announces Addition of 450 Singles Class at 2010 AMA Pro Road Racing EventsEntry-Level Professional Class will Feature Single Manufacturer, Prepared Machines and Low Costs
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 30, 2009) – AMA Pro Racing announced today the introduction of a 450cc singles class for the 2010 AMA Pro Road Racing season with the purpose of providing a gateway for young regional riders to ascend to the national ranks of professional motorcycle racing. The entry-level professional class will feature an arrive-and-ride format utilizing a single, yet-to-be-determined manufacturer and 450cc single-cylinder motorcycles that are prepared by a single tuner.
“Combining close competition with affordable equipment will provide a win-win situation for fans and riders alike,” said AMA Pro Racing President Roger Edmondson. “The parity in performance brought with a single manufacturer and tuner will put America’s young talent at center stage and will help them to refine their riding skills for advancement through the ranks of AMA Pro Road Racing.”
The class is a product of Gavin Trippe’s inspiration of repurposing the large, readily-available pool of 450cc four-stroke dirtbikes present in America for entry-level road racing competition. AMA Pro Racing is advancing that vision and intends to work with grassroots and national amateur motorcycle racing organizations to create a pipeline for young American talent that culminates with an entry point to professional racing in AMA Pro.
Entries in the 450cc singles class will be restricted to riders between the ages of 16 and 21, supplanting the requirements for AMA Pro SuperSport presented by Shoei. Another announcement with full details for the class is expected to be available within sixty days.

This would be so much better than the current setup. Racing is way too expensive for most guys to even get a foot in the door.

BRING BACK THE 450S! So much cheaper and more fun to watch than the big bikes that always have mechanical failures.
