Pro Stock Motorcycle, formerly known as
Pro Stock Bike is a
drag racing class that is the two-wheeled equivalent of
Pro Stock. It has been a feature of
NHRA drag racing since the 1980s when it was added to the professional class structure and has since spread around the globe. Their 1st Points Championship Season took place in the 1987
NHRA Season. The class has for years been dominated by
inline-4 cylinder Suzuki based bikes but in recent years
Harley-Davidson based
V-twin machines have become more competitive due to favorable rule changes. Frames are purpose-built specifically for drag racing and are not based on their road-going counterparts.
