As we celebrate 50 Years of Superbikes, we're throwing it back to the very first AMA Superbike race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 1983. 🏁

Steve Wise made history by capturing both his first AMA Superbike victory and the inaugural Superbike race at the legendary Ohio circuit, a milestone that helped launch decades of unforgettable racing.
