  • HONOS Superbike race one at Barber Motorsports Park was one of the most action-packed, edge-of-your-seat, flatout-crazy races you'll ever see. To say rain was a factor is an understatement, and the final podium was an historic moment. Check out these highlights.

    Insane, I've never ridden a bike in the rain like that, but I can only imagine how much skill it takes to race that fast on those conditions.

      Everything has to be done more easily. Easy on and off the brakes and easy on the gas with less lean angle as well. Teaches you braking and throttle control but with a lot less tolerance for error.
