Two-time Superbike champion Josh Herrin joins Twins Cup champion Kaleb De Keyrel to ride in Super Hooligan class on Lightfighter electric motorcycles.

Daytona was a huge learning weekend for the Lightfighter team. Every lap gave us data, direction, and motivation. Now we’re headed to Barber with a stronger, more competitive package. β‘

After successfully completing practice and qualifying sessions at Daytona, the team has made the decision to withdraw from the remainder of the race weekend. Following a detailed review of data collected from the two race bikes, we felt it was the right decision to step back and keep developing. The data we captured this weekend is incredibly valuable and we want to thank Josh, Kaleb, and the entire team for their hard work leading up to and during this weekend.
This is exactly why we race. The track is where new technology is pushed, where limits are discovered, and where the next breakthroughs begin.
We’ll see you all at Barber.
We are pumped for our debut in Super Hooligan at Daytona! π Catch all the OrangeCat Racing action live! Check out our on-track schedule and tune in via MotoAmerica Live+ or follow along with live timing. Let’s go racing! ππ¨

Happy Valentine’s Day to our fans! π»π«Ά We are looking forward to another season of you cheering us on.

The cat is out of the bag for what OrangeCat Racing’s new M1000RR Superbike looks like but taking the cover off never gets old. π»π

We wrapped up testing in Europe and looking forward to getting our new M1000RRs stateside to continue dialing them in! π

A cold, wet day of testing at Valencia for Jayson and Sean. π₯ΆβοΈ Not ideal conditions, but the silver lining is knowing we’re prepared to race when it counts, rain or shine. πͺπ

Day 1 at Andalucía gave Sean Dylan Kelly his first real taste of the new, alpha racing, BMW M1000RR Superbike and the feedback says it all.
