Britalia and Mike Smith Team Up to Challenge the AMA
Red Bull Supermoto Championship
WOODSTOCK, Ga.- Moto Britalia, the southeast's largest
European motorcycle dealership specializing in Aprilia,
Ducati, Triumph, Moto Guzzi, Vertemati, TM and Husqvarna,
is announcing a partnership with 911 Racing's Mike Smith
to compete in the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship,
combining their premier Supermoto center with one of
the most talented motorcycle racers in the United States.
Smith's talent and background in roadracing make him
the perfect choice to pilot the Team MOTOBRITALIA.COM
Yamaha YZ450F. Smith has raced and helped develop models
including the Ducati 916, Honda RC45, Harley-Davidson
VR1000 and the Kawasaki ZX-7. With 13 National wins,
Smith is also the second-winningest 600 Supersport racer.
At a highly successful test during round three of the
Superbikers2 National event at Road America's Briggs
& Stratton Motorplex, Smith took Superpole with
the best lap times of the weekend and first place in
both the 450 and Unlimited classes. After proving their
potential as a team, Smith and Team MOTOBRITALIA.COM
are excited about the first race of the AMA Red Bull
Supermoto Championship.
"This result is very promising for our team as
this was our first race and we are still testing the
equipment. The new YZ450F has an awesome power range
through and off the corners," says Smith.
"Mike is an asset to Moto Britalia," commented
team owner Jim Vecchione. "Mike joined Moto Britalia
to head up our Supermoto Performance Center, and his
research and development is a huge benefit to our customers.
Moto Britalia is committed to performance and with the
continuous development of Supermoto products by Team
MOTOBRITALIA.COM, customers get the best for their motard
bikes. The Supermoto Center can transform your bike
into a weekend track-day motard or into a full competition
ready performance machine."
Team MOTOBRITALIA.COM will be competing in the six
rounds that comprise the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship
as well as select AMA 750 Superstock events.
