Phase One of our annual Supersport shootout is in the books. We broke the banks and rented Willow Springs Raceway for two full days, testing the six latest and greatest middleweight machines made, running through 48 tires in the process to bring you the ’09 edition of this massive test.

By far the biggest and best to date, so far everything has gone off without a hitch. Next up is extensive street riding and performance testing (drag strip, top speed), followed by video finalization (plus writing the story!) and posting for your viewing pleasure. We know you guys love the shootouts and I can assure you we are hard at work to hammer this bad boy out as soon as humanly possible while still making sure it’s the most extensive test in the motorcycle world. Stay tuned!
