2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship

The 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship season was the 46th season of the premier class of circuit-based motorcycle racing in the United States and the 8th since its renaming to MotoAmerica.

Jake Gagne entered the season as the defending champion, after taking his first title in 2021. His teammate for the 2021 season, Josh Herrin, left Attack Yamaha and joined Wahorse HSBK Racing NYC to campaign the Ducati Panigale V2 in the Supersport class under the newly adopted FIM Next-Generation Supersport regulations.[1][2] Attack Yamaha replaced Herrin by recruiting Cameron Petersen away from Team M4 ECSTAR Suzuki.[3] Additional changes to the MotoAmerica Superbike rider-lineup occurred when Loris Baz departed MotoAmerica to race for Bonovo BMW in World Superbike, allowing former-MotoGP rider, Danilo Petrucci, to reunite with Ducati by joining Warhorse HSBK Racing NYC for the 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike season.[4]
