The AMA Superbike is the premiere superbike racing series in the United States. It is part of the AMA Pro Racing series, and it is managed by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA). AMA Superbike Championship was created in 1976 to provide playing field for professional racing teams and a means for motorcycle manufacturers to showcase their sport-performance, production based models. The series allows more engine modifications than most Superbike championships. The roots of AMA Superbike are said to have started when the AMA first organized road racing in the United States in 1934.
The most successful riders have included Doug Chandler, Scott Russell, Miguel Duhamel and Mat Mladin, who holds several series records including six championships. The 2006 and 2007 crowns went to Ben Spies. Four non-Americans have won the title - Englishman Reg Pridmore, Australians Mat Mladin and Troy Corser, and Canadian Miguel Duhamel.
