This year marks OrangeCat Racing’s debut in both the MotoAmerica Superbike class and as a factory-supported team, bringing cutting-edge BMW performance to the grid.

After launching the program in 2023 and competing in Stock 1000 on alpha Racing–built M 1000 RRs, OrangeCat Racing captured the 2025 MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championship — a milestone that accelerated the team’s progression to Superbike.

Built on disciplined execution and continuous performance development, the program is guided by a clear vision: compete consistently at the front and contend for podiums and championships.
