Bauman Headlines Harley-Davidson 1-2 at Senoia Short Track Round 3, March 29, 2025
History was made at this year ' s Yamaha Senoia Short Track when Briar Bauman( No. 3 RWR / Parts Plus / Latus Motors Harley-Davidson XG750R) marked the brave new world of production bike flat track racing by hustling the Harley-Davidson XG750R to its maiden Mission AFT SuperTwins victory- having made its AFT debut in 2016. The win three weeks after he scored a brace of second place finishes( behind Dallas Daniels on the Yamaha MT-07 DT) at the season opening Daytona Short Tracks, with teammate Brandon Robinson taking forth and six place finishes- backing that up with second place at Senoia. Daniels was third- coming within 0.028 seconds of breaking up the Harley one / two. Daniels continues to lead the early-season championship chase but only by a single point over Bauman( 62-61) with Robinson and Davis Fisher( KTM 790 Duke) tied for third. In addition to the two Harleys, there were three Yamaha MT-07 riders in the top-10, along with two KTM Dukes, and one each of the Honda Transalp, Suzuki GSX-8S and Royal Enfield 650. Chase Saathoff took the win in the Singles( Honda CRF450R) ahead of Tom Drane second( Yamaha YZ450F).
For the third consecutive year, Ducati recorded revenues of more than one billion euro in 2024(€ 1,003bn; compared to € 1,065bn in 2023)- " a result achieved despite the challenges that are the industry is facing and the current global competitive environment." Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, said: " The 2024 results confirm the strength of our brand and the company ' s ability to generate the financial resources that allow us to continue to invest and consolidate the excellence, value and exclusivity of our products." Described as proof of the effectiveness of the strategic choices made in recent years- " oriented towards the development of a product range that represents the best fusion of beauty, performance and technology "- Ducati posted 2024 operating profit( EBIT) of € 91m( 9.1 % margin; 10.5 % in 2023).
The Senoia Short Track saw Briar Bauman give the H-D XG750R(# 3) its first ever AFT Supertwins win, with Chase Saathoff(# 88) winning the Singles on the Honda CRF450R
The two had taken a second place each at the Daytona I and II Short Tracks, behind Kody Klopp- who leads the Single championship at this stage after his two Daytona wins, despite absenting himself from Senoia. The three-time AFT Singles Champion now swaps the dirt for the asphalt. The weekend was even sweeter for Harley, with the American Twins ' Special Class ' making its series debut. An 11-strong, 8-lap ' Single Marque ' XG750R race saw Robert Lewis

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali
The company sold 54,495 motorcycles in 2024( 58,224 in 2023). " 2024 ended with a positive balance for Ducati, one that confirms the solid basis that Ducati has both as a brand
( Robert Lewis Racing) take the win. Next Up: after a four-week break, three more Short Tracks take the 2025 series first to Ventura in southern California on April 26, then to the Silver Dollar Speedway at Chico in northern California on May 3 before the Lucas Oil Speedway at Wheatland, Missouri on June 7. After that, the longer distances start-up with the two Lima Half Miles in Ohio at the end of June. www. americanflattrack. com
and in financial terms- a benchmark of profitability in the two-wheeler market." For 2025 Ducati has presented ten new models, including the new XDiavel V4 and Multistrada V4, equipped with the V4 Granturismo engine, alongside the Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4, both powered by the latest evolution of the Desmosedici Stradale engine. There is also the Panigale V2, Streetfighter V2 and Multistrada V2- equipped with Ducati ' s new V2 engine, the lightest twin-cylinder ever made by Ducati. However, the news that has the potential to either take Ducati to another level, or rain on its parade, is its entry into Off-Road racing with the introduction of its first motocross bike due to be available at selected dealerships from June 2025- the Desmo 450X. www. ducati. com
