Dynavolt Triumph set for Snetterton challenge
The complex and challenging Snetterton circuit is host to Round 7 of the 2021 Quattro Group British Supersport Championship this weekend as Kyle Smith and Brandon Paasch head to the Norfolk track looking to improve on their mixed fortunes last time out at Cadwell Park.
Both Dynavolt Triumph riders arrive at Snetterton having only previously completed a handful of laps each at the 3-mile track after the three days of testing in May were frustrated by inclement weather and both Smith and Paasch are aiming to get to grips with the circuit as quickly as possible.
Smith sits fourth in the championship heading into round 7, just 30 points adrift of the lead and is keen to get to a track that is closer in nature to what he is accustomed to and resume his bid for the championship.
Kyle Smith: “I’m itching to get a good result after a difficult weekend at Cadwell. We are going to a track that I’m not too familiar with. We had a pre-season test there but the weather wasn’t on our side and we didn’t get many laps in but I’m looking forward to it.”
Teammate Paasch returns to action after a mistake saw him crash out of the feature race at Cadwell Park and is looking forward to redeeming himself at a track that should play to the Dynavolt Triumph’s strengths.
Brandon Paasch: “I’m excited to be headed to Snetterton, a fairly new track to me so I’m ready to go get up to speed and see what we can do. Let’s get to work!”
Dynavolt Triumph Team Manager Simon Buckmaster: “Cadwell was a difficult weekend for us. Kyle never really got to grips with the circuit, it’s tricky and it’s very different to anything he has been used to riding in World Championship. In a lot of ways, we got lucky with other people’s mistakes and we still have a realistic chance of winning the championship. If we are going to realise this ambition, we can’t afford any more mistakes and we have to consistently beat the three riders in front of us as they are now very close together in the championship. We did test at Snetterton with not a lot of dry laps but Kyle knows the layout of the track, it’s a more ‘normal’ race circuit for him and the bike should be strong there.”
“Brandon had the pace at Cadwell, unfortunately he made an error and collided with another rider and missed a real chance of a podium. He is on form, he has got the pace but he actually dropped a place in the championship due to the crash. Again, if he continues with his form and puts in a string of good results between now and the end of the season, he can still end up in a very good championship position. He has the potential to win races and that has been our aim since the start of the year. We also learned a lot with what we are doing with the bike with the balancing rules. It’s not so simple as just getting the best out of your bike because we have to work within the balancing situation and learn what to do with our bike to make the best of that. You can say in the last two circuits we have just done that are shorter geared circuits, we didn’t maximise that but we’ve looked at data from, for example, Donington from the race and the test, and we can see what we need to do and how we need to get the best from our machines. We, as a team, will put that right and the riders then to ride the bike in the best way to get the best out of it. Both riders are used to riding four cylinder bikes, there’s still a bit of that. We work together as a team and as a team now it’s time to make it count as we move into the last five rounds.”
Supersport actions kicks off from Snetterton with Free Practice One on Friday at 09:35hrs (BST).
PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team announce new rider line-ups for Aragon GP
Dixon to continue on Yamaha YZR-M1, McPhee to get Moto2 taste, Damok gets Moto3 World Championship debut
For the Grand Prix of Aragon, the next round of the FIM MotoGP World Championship, PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team will make a raft of changes to its line-ups in MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 to continue to give its stable of riders valuable opportunities for experience.
After a solid first outing on his Yamaha YZR-M1 in front of his home fans at the British Grand Prix, Jake Dixon will contest one more round in the MotoGP class at Aragon for PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team alongside Valentino Rossi.
In turn, John McPhee will get his chance at graduation, stepping up inside the PETRONAS Sprinta Racing outfit from Moto3 to Moto2 to sample the Kalex machine for the first time in his career. He will ride alongside Xavi Vierge who will be taking part in his third home race of the season.
This allows the PETRONAS Sprinta Racing Moto3 squad to give an opportunity to new talent in the form of Malaysian FIM CEV talent cup rider Syarifuddin Azman (Damok). The Moto3 Junior World Championship rider and race winner has shown promise this season and this opportunity to join the Moto3 grid alongside Darryn Binder presents the perfect springboard for another aspiring Grand Prix rider to make his World Championship debut.
The Grand Prix of Aragon will get underway on Friday 10 September.
Razlan Razali
The current dynamic status of the team allows some exciting opportunities for our riders and also new talent. We were satisfied with Jake’s MotoGP debut at the British Grand Prix so want to give him the opportunity to continue his learning in the MotoGP class in Aragon. This of course leaves a space in his seat in Moto2 which we wanted to give to John, who will make his Moto2 debut. Subsequently, this leaves a perfect platform for us to lend his seat to Syarifuddin Azman from the FIM CEV. Azman won one round in Barcelona of the FIM CEV, and I think it’s a great chance for him to gain experience to determine his level in the Moto3 World Championship. We are excited by the prospect of giving exposure to our young riders and we wish them all the best.
John McPhee
It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to try the Moto2 bike in Aragon. As with every rider, it’s their dream to progress through the categories, and I feel like I am at the level, and have the ability to make this step up to Moto2. Of course, the challenge will be extremely difficult because it’s my first time ever racing a big bike, with my only real experience being 15 laps of Barcelona in 2019 which was a ‘thank you’ from the team after my win at Le Mans.
I’m really excited and motivated for the challenge and really looking forward to trying the bike. There’s no real expectation, I’m just going to enjoy it a lot and feel like if I can improve session by session and keep closing the gap with the fastest riders, then this will be a job well done. Thank you to my team for this opportunity.
Syarifuddin Azman (Damok)
I am so happy and so excited to race in the Moto3 World Championship and I want to say thank you to PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team for giving me this opportunity. It’s a very valuable chance that doesn’t often come along, so I am working even harder to give my best for the race.
Elias Returns with Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing at NJMP
The Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing team brings Toni Elias on board to race the upcoming MotoAmerica Superbike round at New Jersey Motorsports Park on September 10-12. The Spaniard joins the team’s regulars Jake Gagne and Josh Herrin for a three-pronged threat at the 2.25-mile track in Millville, New Jersey.
The 2010 Moto2 World Champion and 2017 MotoAmerica Superbike Champion enjoyed a great debut weekend on the Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha R1, scoring a second and fourth-place finish as he sat in for Herrin at the previous round at the Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
Richard Stanboli – Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing Team Manager
“We are excited to have Toni Elias for one more ride on our Yamaha R1 at NJMP. He did a good job at PIRC, getting on the podium straight away, and we are confident that he will have another good run at NJMP. His energy is refreshing; he is like a kid in a candy store with the Yamaha R1.
“We are also excited to have Josh Herrin back after missing the last two events. I’m sure he will be anxious to turn some laps and will get back to pace quickly. Herrin is also expecting his first child just before or during the weekend, so we congratulate him on that.
“Learning from the past two events and all of the last-minute decisions undertaken, we are taking precautions for this event. If Josh were to miss any of the racing due to unforeseen complications, then Toni will be there to fulfill our obligations with MotoAmerica, Yamaha, and all of our sponsors. If everything goes smoothly for Josh, then we will have three riders racing in the Superbike class. We have managed a three-rider team in the past but this will be a first for us in the Superbike class. For sure, it will be challenging, so we have brought in some additional resources. I personally will be very excited to see all three bikes on the grid and racing for the win. It should be a fun weekend.”
Toni Elias – Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing
“I’m very grateful they gave me another opportunity. Pittsburgh was maybe the worse track for me because it doesn’t fit my riding style. I think New Jersey features me a little bit more, and I can’t wait to be there and work again and try for a top result.”

“I learned so much from my experiences with Inde,” added Mabry, “and can’t wait until we open. We know the Podium Club is going to be the best membership complex in Arizona. But we plan to make it the best in the country, in every area, and for every member, guest and sponsor. I’m proud to have been selected as the new GM.”

THE ALL-NEW ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350 – A LEGEND REBORN
America’s markets expected to launch the Classic 350 during the 2022 riding season.
Milwaukee, WI (Wednesday, September 1, 2021) – In its 120th year, Royal Enfield re-envisions its iconic motorcycle, the Classic, with the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the iconic Classic 350 motorcycle was launched in the Indian market today, and will be coming to American markets in the 2022 riding season.
The all-new Classic 350 adds yet another new chapter to Royal Enfield’s legacy of building authentic post-war-era British motorcycles that are loved by enthusiasts around the world. The design inspiration of the Classic range can be dated all the way back to 1948 with the groundbreaking Royal Enfield Model G2, the first to have swinging arm rear suspension on a full production motorcycle. As dependable as it was beautiful, the Model G2 served as a strong design inspiration for the hugely popular Classic 500 launched in 2008. The Classic 500 went on to help redefine the middleweight motorcycling space and was an integral part of the revival of Royal Enfield, up until the production of the dependable UCE 500 engine was stopped in 2020. Over a span of 12 years, more than 3 million Classic 500 motorcycles were produced, building an incredible legacy of its own—and now, the new Classic 350 is all set to take up the mantle and further build upon the legend.
Commenting on the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “The Classic launched in 2008, was a modern and capable motorcycle that symbolized the timeless post-war styling from the heydays of the British motorcycle industry. Its captivating design language and simplicity coupled with dependability catapulted the Classic to global popularity, and it went on to redefine the middleweight (250-750cc) motorcycle segment.
“We’ve paid great attention to every aspect of the motorcycle, right from its stunning look, to the perfection in parts and the touchpoints, to its impeccable riding performance. The engine is super smooth, intuitively responsive and engaging, and has that gorgeous growl on acceleration. The all-new chassis lends enormous confidence while riding, with surefooted handling and agile braking. The motorcycle feels in control and well-mannered around tight corners. The motorcycle is, without a doubt, class-leading, and feels incredibly refined and enjoyable to ride.
“Throughout our history, we have been consistent in our pursuit to build timeless, beautiful motorcycles that are great fun to ride, and the new Classic 350 does just that. The all-new Classic 350 combines this quintessential, retro design with a modern and refined ride experience. We are confident that the all-new Classic 350 will once again redefine the midsize motorcycle space, globally.”
Powered by the modern 349cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, launched recently on the Meteor 350, the all-new Classic 350 brings in a new level of comfort, smoothness, and refinement to the ride experience. Designed and developed by teams of designers and engineers based at Royal Enfield’s two state-of-the-art technology centers—in India and the UK—the Classic 350 is a product of true collaboration across continents. The all-new chassis is built for superior comfort and maneuverability—designed with improved strength, the chassis encourages more confidence at higher cornering speeds, and feels planted and stable on straight roads. The front and rear suspension has been extensively developed for more comfortable saddle time. With better ergonomics and more confident braking, the Classic feels agile and responsive, further enhancing the riding experience.
The new Classic 350 is set to arrive in North America during the 2022 riding season. Royal Enfield continues to release products dedicated to the midsize motorcycle segment, delivering more appealing and accessible options for riders of all ages and experience levels.
About Royal Enfield

With its manufacturing base in Chennai, India, Royal Enfield has been able to grow its production rapidly against a surge in demand for its motorcycles.

CVMA is gearing up for the start a new road racing season.
CVMA would like to announce the release of the 2021-2022 rulebook, new racing classes, payout schedule and updated procedures for the premier Shootout races. The club prides itself on being by racers for racers. Based on the feedback of the membership, there are many exciting changes for the new season.
In an effort to better prepare racers for the next step in their progression, CVMA has made several changes to the Shootout classes and procedures.
“We realize that many of our racers are looking to use our series as a stepping stone to the higher levels of racing in the U.S. (i.e. MotoAmerica) and other series around the world,” said Jay Tanner, race director for CVMA. “We have changed the Middleweight and Open shootout races to now run under our SuperSport rules to better align our premier races with the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 and SuperSport classes. We have also instituted a parc ferme inspection procedure for the riders qualifying and racing in the Shootout classes to better prepare our racers for what they may experience in other national-level race events.”
More information regarding these procedures is available in our updated rulebook and this will also be discussed in detail in a special rider’s meeting before the start of our first round in September.
As stated in an earlier press release, CVMA is stepping up in a big way by offering $130,000.00 in purse across four Shootout races: Open, Middleweight, Ultra Lightweight, and American Thunder. Purses will payout from first all the way to fifth place with a maximum of $3000 for a win. For additional information on this new payout schedule please refer to our previous press release or the Shootout Appendix in our updated rulebook.
“When someone comes to me with a bike that doesn’t fit in one of our existing classes, I’ve always said, if you can get enough riders to come out and race, we will make a class for you,” said Micky Grana, President of CVMA. “That is exactly what we have done for the large contingent of riders that wanted a place to race their American Twins bikes on a road course.”
In 2020, a lot of American Twins riders went through the CVMA new racer program. With the addition of a bagger class in MotoAmerica and the creation of the Bagger Racing League (BRL), riders came to CVMA to get a license and gain experience. For 2021, the club will now have two classes dedicated to the American Twins plus a new Shootout race with a sizable payout.
CVMA will kick off the 2021/2022 winter series the weekend of September 25th and 26th with a double points event. Excluding the shootouts.
The series will continue on Oct 30-31 and Dec 11-12. Dates for the final four rounds of the series will be set for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr but exact dates are still TBD. The final round will also be a double points event.
Race Weekend schedules are also set for all rounds and can be viewed on our schedule page.
Racers are encouraged to review the updated rulebook that is available for download from our website to make sure they are aware of any changes.
CVMA offers two full days of racing every race weekend and also includes Saturday qualifying for grid position in all classes, amateur, and expert, as well as a wide variety of classes to choose from.
Additionally, CVMA offers free reciprocity as a means of encouraging racers from other clubs to come out and compete. Log on to www.cvmaracing.com for more information.
CVMA. It’s club racing done right.
MRA: Thornton inches Closer to Race of the Rockies Championship
Dear Trail, CO – Colorado’s Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA)
continued its 2021 championship series with the latest round 6 at High
Plains Raceway – North Course over the weekend of August 28-29
Coming into round 6 Mike Applegate trailed Ray Thornton by five points.
Applegate needed to beat Thornton this round to force a winner-take-all
showdown at the season finale. When the lights went out Applegate got off to
an amazing start with Thornton close behind. The two riders pulled a gap on
the rest of the field, lapping almost a second a lap faster than everyone
else making this a two rider showdown for the victory. With 6 laps to go
Thornton was still harassing Applegate waiting on an opportunity to strike,
when a mechanical took Applegate out of the race. Applegate later reported
it was because of a faulty fuel line. Ray Thornton seemingly cruised to
victory winning by more than 20 seconds.
The battle to be best of the rest was extremely intense as James Wilkerson,
Phillip Hergenrader, Jason Martinez and Jim Hinton battled the entire race.
All four riders having an opportunity for their career-first Race of the
Rockies GTO podium. As the laps wound down Wilkerson and Hergenrader were
able to weather the storm and secured their first podiums in the premier
class. Which gives us Thornton, Wilkerson, and Hergenrader on the Race of
the Rockies GTO podium.
In Race of the Rockies GTU the exciting racing continued. Jared Dear got off
to a great start with Dennis Stowers in tow. Stowers was able to put
together some fantastic laps managing to catch and pass Dear for the lead.
Undeterred Dear got back around Stowers and put his head down waiting for
Stowers to remount an attack. Stowers was never able to mount an attack
suffering a mechanical putting him out of the race with just 2 laps to go.
Jared Dear took the victory in GTU, followed by Alex Greenman in second who
also got his first career Race of the Rockies Podium and Scott Morrison who
finished third edging out Ken Yee at the finish line by a tenth of a second.
Which gives us Dear, Greenman and Morrison on the Race of the Rockies GTU
podium.
Every year the MRA racers get faster and this round was no exception.
Claiming new HPR-West track records were Tom Dixon with a 1:34.339 in 350
Superbike and 1:34.013 in 350 Supersport, Justen Behmer claimed a 1:24.100
in 500 Superbike and a 1:19.223 in Premier Amateur. Craig Gomulka took the
500 Supersport record with a 1:25. 049, Ryan Smith bested the Lightweight GP
time with a 1:18.995 and the Lightweight Endurance with 1:19.782. Finally,
Dennis Stowers pulled a 1:16.229 in Modern Vintage GTO and Alex Greenman
scored a 1:17.512 for Modern Vintage GTU.
For Round 7, the MRA returns to High Plains Raceway which will feature the
MRA’s SuperStreet class and race program for only $100. For more

Dynavolt Triumph set for Snetterton challenge
The complex and challenging Snetterton circuit is host to Round 7 of the 2021 Quattro Group British Supersport Championship this weekend as Kyle Smith and Brandon Paasch head to the Norfolk track looking to improve on their mixed fortunes last time out at Cadwell Park.
Both Dynavolt Triumph riders arrive at Snetterton having only previously completed a handful of laps each at the 3-mile track after the three days of testing in May were frustrated by inclement weather and both Smith and Paasch are aiming to get to grips with the circuit as quickly as possible.
Smith sits fourth in the championship heading into round 7, just 30 points adrift of the lead and is keen to get to a track that is closer in nature to what he is accustomed to and resume his bid for the championship.
Kyle Smith: “I’m itching to get a good result after a difficult weekend at Cadwell. We are going to a track that I’m not too familiar with. We had a pre-season test there but the weather wasn’t on our side and we didn’t get many laps in but I’m looking forward to it.”
Teammate Paasch returns to action after a mistake saw him crash out of the feature race at Cadwell Park and is looking forward to redeeming himself at a track that should play to the Dynavolt Triumph’s strengths.
Brandon Paasch: “I’m excited to be headed to Snetterton, a fairly new track to me so I’m ready to go get up to speed and see what we can do. Let’s get to work!”
Dynavolt Triumph Team Manager Simon Buckmaster: “Cadwell was a difficult weekend for us. Kyle never really got to grips with the circuit, it’s tricky and it’s very different to anything he has been used to riding in World Championship. In a lot of ways, we got lucky with other people’s mistakes and we still have a realistic chance of winning the championship. If we are going to realise this ambition, we can’t afford any more mistakes and we have to consistently beat the three riders in front of us as they are now very close together in the championship. We did test at Snetterton with not a lot of dry laps but Kyle knows the layout of the track, it’s a more ‘normal’ race circuit for him and the bike should be strong there.”
“Brandon had the pace at Cadwell, unfortunately he made an error and collided with another rider and missed a real chance of a podium. He is on form, he has got the pace but he actually dropped a place in the championship due to the crash. Again, if he continues with his form and puts in a string of good results between now and the end of the season, he can still end up in a very good championship position. He has the potential to win races and that has been our aim since the start of the year. We also learned a lot with what we are doing with the bike with the balancing rules. It’s not so simple as just getting the best out of your bike because we have to work within the balancing situation and learn what to do with our bike to make the best of that. You can say in the last two circuits we have just done that are shorter geared circuits, we didn’t maximise that but we’ve looked at data from, for example, Donington from the race and the test, and we can see what we need to do and how we need to get the best from our machines. We, as a team, will put that right and the riders then to ride the bike in the best way to get the best out of it. Both riders are used to riding four cylinder bikes, there’s still a bit of that. We work together as a team and as a team now it’s time to make it count as we move into the last five rounds.”
Supersport actions kicks off from Snetterton with Free Practice One on Friday at 09:35hrs (BST).

After a solid first outing on his Yamaha YZR-M1 in front of his home fans at the British Grand Prix, Jake Dixon will contest one more round in the MotoGP class at Aragon for PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team alongside Valentino Rossi.
In turn, John McPhee will get his chance at graduation, stepping up inside the PETRONAS Sprinta Racing outfit from Moto3 to Moto2 to sample the Kalex machine for the first time in his career. He will ride alongside Xavi Vierge who will be taking part in his third home race of the season.
This allows the PETRONAS Sprinta Racing Moto3 squad to give an opportunity to new talent in the form of Malaysian FIM CEV talent cup rider Syarifuddin Azman (Damok). The Moto3 Junior World Championship rider and race winner has shown promise this season and this opportunity to join the Moto3 grid alongside Darryn Binder presents the perfect springboard for another aspiring Grand Prix rider to make his World Championship debut.
The Grand Prix of Aragon will get underway on Friday 10 September.
Razlan Razali
The current dynamic status of the team allows some exciting opportunities for our riders and also new talent. We were satisfied with Jake’s MotoGP debut at the British Grand Prix so want to give him the opportunity to continue his learning in the MotoGP class in Aragon. This of course leaves a space in his seat in Moto2 which we wanted to give to John, who will make his Moto2 debut. Subsequently, this leaves a perfect platform for us to lend his seat to Syarifuddin Azman from the FIM CEV. Azman won one round in Barcelona of the FIM CEV, and I think it’s a great chance for him to gain experience to determine his level in the Moto3 World Championship. We are excited by the prospect of giving exposure to our young riders and we wish them all the best.
John McPhee
It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to try the Moto2 bike in Aragon. As with every rider, it’s their dream to progress through the categories, and I feel like I am at the level, and have the ability to make this step up to Moto2. Of course, the challenge will be extremely difficult because it’s my first time ever racing a big bike, with my only real experience being 15 laps of Barcelona in 2019 which was a ‘thank you’ from the team after my win at Le Mans.
I’m really excited and motivated for the challenge and really looking forward to trying the bike. There’s no real expectation, I’m just going to enjoy it a lot and feel like if I can improve session by session and keep closing the gap with the fastest riders, then this will be a job well done. Thank you to my team for this opportunity.
Syarifuddin Azman (Damok)
I am so happy and so excited to race in the Moto3 World Championship and I want to say thank you to PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team for giving me this opportunity. It’s a very valuable chance that doesn’t often come along, so I am working even harder to give my best for the race.
Elias Returns with Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing at NJMP
The Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing team brings Toni Elias on board to race the upcoming MotoAmerica Superbike round at New Jersey Motorsports Park on September 10-12. The Spaniard joins the team’s regulars Jake Gagne and Josh Herrin for a three-pronged threat at the 2.25-mile track in Millville, New Jersey.
The 2010 Moto2 World Champion and 2017 MotoAmerica Superbike Champion enjoyed a great debut weekend on the Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha R1, scoring a second and fourth-place finish as he sat in for Herrin at the previous round at the Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
Richard Stanboli – Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing Team Manager
“We are excited to have Toni Elias for one more ride on our Yamaha R1 at NJMP. He did a good job at PIRC, getting on the podium straight away, and we are confident that he will have another good run at NJMP. His energy is refreshing; he is like a kid in a candy store with the Yamaha R1.
“We are also excited to have Josh Herrin back after missing the last two events. I’m sure he will be anxious to turn some laps and will get back to pace quickly. Herrin is also expecting his first child just before or during the weekend, so we congratulate him on that.
“Learning from the past two events and all of the last-minute decisions undertaken, we are taking precautions for this event. If Josh were to miss any of the racing due to unforeseen complications, then Toni will be there to fulfill our obligations with MotoAmerica, Yamaha, and all of our sponsors. If everything goes smoothly for Josh, then we will have three riders racing in the Superbike class. We have managed a three-rider team in the past but this will be a first for us in the Superbike class. For sure, it will be challenging, so we have brought in some additional resources. I personally will be very excited to see all three bikes on the grid and racing for the win. It should be a fun weekend.”
Toni Elias – Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha Racing
“I’m very grateful they gave me another opportunity. Pittsburgh was maybe the worse track for me because it doesn’t fit my riding style. I think New Jersey features me a little bit more, and I can’t wait to be there and work again and try for a top result.”

Passion for motorsports is something that can’t be taught. Having raced both cars and motorcycles, Mabry understands the importance of safety, customer service, and uncompromised, military-style professionalism.
“I learned so much from my experiences with Inde,” added Mabry, “and can’t wait until we open. We know the Podium Club is going to be the best membership complex in Arizona. But we plan to make it the best in the country, in every area, and for every member, guest and sponsor. I’m proud to have been selected as the new GM.”

THE ALL-NEW ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350 – A LEGEND REBORN
America’s markets expected to launch the Classic 350 during the 2022 riding season.
Milwaukee, WI (Wednesday, September 1, 2021) – In its 120th year, Royal Enfield re-envisions its iconic motorcycle, the Classic, with the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350. Completely redesigned from the ground up, the iconic Classic 350 motorcycle was launched in the Indian market today, and will be coming to American markets in the 2022 riding season.
The all-new Classic 350 adds yet another new chapter to Royal Enfield’s legacy of building authentic post-war-era British motorcycles that are loved by enthusiasts around the world. The design inspiration of the Classic range can be dated all the way back to 1948 with the groundbreaking Royal Enfield Model G2, the first to have swinging arm rear suspension on a full production motorcycle. As dependable as it was beautiful, the Model G2 served as a strong design inspiration for the hugely popular Classic 500 launched in 2008. The Classic 500 went on to help redefine the middleweight motorcycling space and was an integral part of the revival of Royal Enfield, up until the production of the dependable UCE 500 engine was stopped in 2020. Over a span of 12 years, more than 3 million Classic 500 motorcycles were produced, building an incredible legacy of its own—and now, the new Classic 350 is all set to take up the mantle and further build upon the legend.
Commenting on the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “The Classic launched in 2008, was a modern and capable motorcycle that symbolized the timeless post-war styling from the heydays of the British motorcycle industry. Its captivating design language and simplicity coupled with dependability catapulted the Classic to global popularity, and it went on to redefine the middleweight (250-750cc) motorcycle segment.
“We’ve paid great attention to every aspect of the motorcycle, right from its stunning look, to the perfection in parts and the touchpoints, to its impeccable riding performance. The engine is super smooth, intuitively responsive and engaging, and has that gorgeous growl on acceleration. The all-new chassis lends enormous confidence while riding, with surefooted handling and agile braking. The motorcycle feels in control and well-mannered around tight corners. The motorcycle is, without a doubt, class-leading, and feels incredibly refined and enjoyable to ride.
“Throughout our history, we have been consistent in our pursuit to build timeless, beautiful motorcycles that are great fun to ride, and the new Classic 350 does just that. The all-new Classic 350 combines this quintessential, retro design with a modern and refined ride experience. We are confident that the all-new Classic 350 will once again redefine the midsize motorcycle space, globally.”
Powered by the modern 349cc air-/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, launched recently on the Meteor 350, the all-new Classic 350 brings in a new level of comfort, smoothness, and refinement to the ride experience. Designed and developed by teams of designers and engineers based at Royal Enfield’s two state-of-the-art technology centers—in India and the UK—the Classic 350 is a product of true collaboration across continents. The all-new chassis is built for superior comfort and maneuverability—designed with improved strength, the chassis encourages more confidence at higher cornering speeds, and feels planted and stable on straight roads. The front and rear suspension has been extensively developed for more comfortable saddle time. With better ergonomics and more confident braking, the Classic feels agile and responsive, further enhancing the riding experience.
The new Classic 350 is set to arrive in North America during the 2022 riding season. Royal Enfield continues to release products dedicated to the midsize motorcycle segment, delivering more appealing and accessible options for riders of all ages and experience levels.

CVMA is gearing up for the start a new road racing season.
CVMA would like to announce the release of the 2021-2022 rulebook, new racing classes, payout schedule and updated procedures for the premier Shootout races. The club prides itself on being by racers for racers. Based on the feedback of the membership, there are many exciting changes for the new season.
In an effort to better prepare racers for the next step in their progression, CVMA has made several changes to the Shootout classes and procedures.
“We realize that many of our racers are looking to use our series as a stepping stone to the higher levels of racing in the U.S. (i.e. MotoAmerica) and other series around the world,” said Jay Tanner, race director for CVMA. “We have changed the Middleweight and Open shootout races to now run under our SuperSport rules to better align our premier races with the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 and SuperSport classes. We have also instituted a parc ferme inspection procedure for the riders qualifying and racing in the Shootout classes to better prepare our racers for what they may experience in other national-level race events.”
More information regarding these procedures is available in our updated rulebook and this will also be discussed in detail in a special rider’s meeting before the start of our first round in September.
As stated in an earlier press release, CVMA is stepping up in a big way by offering $130,000.00 in purse across four Shootout races: Open, Middleweight, Ultra Lightweight, and American Thunder. Purses will payout from first all the way to fifth place with a maximum of $3000 for a win. For additional information on this new payout schedule please refer to our previous press release or the Shootout Appendix in our updated rulebook.
“When someone comes to me with a bike that doesn’t fit in one of our existing classes, I’ve always said, if you can get enough riders to come out and race, we will make a class for you,” said Micky Grana, President of CVMA. “That is exactly what we have done for the large contingent of riders that wanted a place to race their American Twins bikes on a road course.”
In 2020, a lot of American Twins riders went through the CVMA new racer program. With the addition of a bagger class in MotoAmerica and the creation of the Bagger Racing League (BRL), riders came to CVMA to get a license and gain experience. For 2021, the club will now have two classes dedicated to the American Twins plus a new Shootout race with a sizable payout.
CVMA will kick off the 2021/2022 winter series the weekend of September 25th and 26th with a double points event. Excluding the shootouts.
The series will continue on Oct 30-31 and Dec 11-12. Dates for the final four rounds of the series will be set for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr but exact dates are still TBD. The final round will also be a double points event.
Race Weekend schedules are also set for all rounds and can be viewed on our schedule page.
Racers are encouraged to review the updated rulebook that is available for download from our website to make sure they are aware of any changes.
CVMA offers two full days of racing every race weekend and also includes Saturday qualifying for grid position in all classes, amateur, and expert, as well as a wide variety of classes to choose from.
Additionally, CVMA offers free reciprocity as a means of encouraging racers from other clubs to come out and compete. Log on to www.cvmaracing.com for more information.
CVMA. It’s club racing done right.
MRA: Thornton inches Closer to Race of the Rockies Championship
Dear Trail, CO – Colorado’s Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA)
continued its 2021 championship series with the latest round 6 at High
Plains Raceway – North Course over the weekend of August 28-29
Coming into round 6 Mike Applegate trailed Ray Thornton by five points.
Applegate needed to beat Thornton this round to force a winner-take-all
showdown at the season finale. When the lights went out Applegate got off to
an amazing start with Thornton close behind. The two riders pulled a gap on
the rest of the field, lapping almost a second a lap faster than everyone
else making this a two rider showdown for the victory. With 6 laps to go
Thornton was still harassing Applegate waiting on an opportunity to strike,
when a mechanical took Applegate out of the race. Applegate later reported
it was because of a faulty fuel line. Ray Thornton seemingly cruised to
victory winning by more than 20 seconds.
The battle to be best of the rest was extremely intense as James Wilkerson,
Phillip Hergenrader, Jason Martinez and Jim Hinton battled the entire race.
All four riders having an opportunity for their career-first Race of the
Rockies GTO podium. As the laps wound down Wilkerson and Hergenrader were
able to weather the storm and secured their first podiums in the premier
class. Which gives us Thornton, Wilkerson, and Hergenrader on the Race of
the Rockies GTO podium.
In Race of the Rockies GTU the exciting racing continued. Jared Dear got off
to a great start with Dennis Stowers in tow. Stowers was able to put
together some fantastic laps managing to catch and pass Dear for the lead.
Undeterred Dear got back around Stowers and put his head down waiting for
Stowers to remount an attack. Stowers was never able to mount an attack
suffering a mechanical putting him out of the race with just 2 laps to go.
Jared Dear took the victory in GTU, followed by Alex Greenman in second who
also got his first career Race of the Rockies Podium and Scott Morrison who
finished third edging out Ken Yee at the finish line by a tenth of a second.
Which gives us Dear, Greenman and Morrison on the Race of the Rockies GTU
podium.
Every year the MRA racers get faster and this round was no exception.
Claiming new HPR-West track records were Tom Dixon with a 1:34.339 in 350
Superbike and 1:34.013 in 350 Supersport, Justen Behmer claimed a 1:24.100
in 500 Superbike and a 1:19.223 in Premier Amateur. Craig Gomulka took the
500 Supersport record with a 1:25. 049, Ryan Smith bested the Lightweight GP
time with a 1:18.995 and the Lightweight Endurance with 1:19.782. Finally,
Dennis Stowers pulled a 1:16.229 in Modern Vintage GTO and Alex Greenman
scored a 1:17.512 for Modern Vintage GTU.
For Round 7, the MRA returns to High Plains Raceway which will feature the
MRA’s SuperStreet class and race program for only $100. For more
