What is new?!

• Supertwin machines have been part of the race schedule since 2012 but this year the class has been revised to allow Sportbike specification machines to reflect the wider development of the Sportbike class and its adoption at World Superbike and British Superbike level.
• Both Supertwins and Sportbikes are derived from middleweight road going motorcycles by tuners and engineers with significant performance adaptations.
• Along with the Paton S1-R, Aprilia RS 660, Kawasaki Z650 and Yamaha YZF-R7, eligible bikes now include Triumph Daytona 660, Suzuki GSX-8R and the Chinese CF Moto 6755R-R.
• For the first time this year, the North West will form part of a European series, the new European Series Road Racing Superbike Championship (ESR).
• The NW200 will be the second round of the six-round series, with Thursday's Superbike race and the feature North West 200 Superbike race on Saturday counting towards standings.
• Notable among the newcomers to the event this year are leading British Superbike contender Storm Stacey, who rides a V4 Ducati for the Bathams Racing team, along with IOM TT podium finisher Rob Hodson.
