The philosophy behind the Superbike category, which was created half-way through the 1970s, was to race bikes that were very powerful but were in any case similar to production models on sale to the general public.
The possibility for the general public to 'identify' themselves with the bikes in this championship that were so close to production models has been the basis for the success of the Superbike category. The technical regulations, which have remained virtually unchanged since 1988, are a demonstration of the total success of the formula. Four-cylinder bikes up to 750cc, three-cylinder bikes up to 900cc and twin-cylinder bikes up to 1000cc are all allowed to take part in the championship.
