British organization Bemsee has announced two new racing classes for naked motorcycles, set to launch in 2027. The Naked and Super Naked categories focus on standard engines and road-ready chassis, offering a low-cost, competitive series akin to the American Super Hooligan championship.
What are the Naked and Super Naked classes?
The Naked class targets mid-capacity naked bikes such as the Kawasaki Z650 and Yamaha MT-07. Modifications are limited to keep costs low, with riders required to use standard engines and street chassis. The Super Naked class is aimed at larger bikes like the Kawasaki Z900 and Yamaha MT-09, allowing minor suspension and exhaust upgrades while keeping the engine and frame stock.
How does this compare to Super Hooligan racing?
Super Hooligan racing in the US focuses on street-oriented naked bikes with minimal modifications, known for its grassroots appeal and fan engagement. Bemsee adopts a similar philosophy but with more structured regulations, potentially attracting a wider participant base in the UK. According to Visordown, the new championship aims to revive the spirit of street racing in a safe, organized environment.
When will the championship start?
Test rounds are expected in 2026, with the official launch in the 2027 season. Races will take place at major UK circuits including Brands Hatch and Donington Park.
How much does it cost to participate?
Entry fees have not been announced yet, but are expected to be relatively low due to the use of standard bikes and limited modifications. The championship aims to make racing accessible to amateurs.
Who can participate?
The championship is open to riders holding a valid race license from Bemsee or any recognized body. Anyone with a compliant naked bike can enter.
