The AMA under DMG (Nascrap)also done a lot of damages to the American superbike scene with their stupid road series.. Honda and Kawasaki are gone (Don't want to be involved with AMA anymore)next year with also Buell (Buell closed their doors...) the 1,125cc bike was allowed to compete alongside race-prepped versions of bikes like the Suzuki GSX-R600 and Yamaha R6, which have roughly half the engine displacement of the Buell. .. Purse payouts for the Superbike class are dramatically reduced for 2010. According to DMG documents, in the Superbike class The riders earning the three (3) highest point totals on an event weekend will be paid podium bonuses as follows: 1st - $3,500.00, 2nd - $2,000.00, and 3rd - $1,000.00. DMG documents suggest that there will be no purse paid for riders or teams finishing past third place in Superbike points on each race weekend. All I can say is hahahahaahahahahahahah
