IDM Supersport 600
Anyone who succeeds in the IDM Supersport 600 has the potential to take the next step. Former title winner Jörg Teuchert even became the Supersport World Champion in 2000. The IDM Supersport 600 is the proven middleweight class in Germany’s top motorcycle road racing series. With about 135 PS at the rear wheel, riders reach top speeds of around 270 km/h on their motorcycles. For IDM competition, racing fairings and a completely different exhaust system may be installed on stock motorcycles from Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha.
Modifications to the forks and rear shock absorbers are also permitted. For fine-tuning, an electronics kit from the respective motorcycle manufacturer may be used. Kit control units, cartridges, large radiators, and much more are allowed. Unlike in the World Championship, blippers are also permitted. The IDM organization does not want to prohibit participants from using what every amateur racer already has. As with the big Superbikes, data recording is permitted in the 600cc class. The IDM Supersport s are dominated by the Yamaha R6, the newest machine in the field. Nevertheless, various Kawasakis and Hondas continue to give the blue contingent a run for their money.
Saxon rider Max Enderlein is attempting to defend his title on a Yamaha once again in 2020.

IDM Superstock 600
The motorcycles in the Superstock 600 class, with about 130 PS, are all well-known and are usually pushed to their absolute limits within the applicable rules. The class was upgraded this year. The former Cup series has been granted IDM status. However, many former Yamaha R6 Cup riders have found a new home in the Superstock 600 class following the discontinuation of their series. Their desire to continue racing in the familiar IDM environment was unmistakable.
Of course, models from the other IDM pool brands are also permitted, such as a Honda CBR 600 RR, Kawasaki ZX-6R, or Suzuki GSX-R 600. Compared to the IDM Supersport 600, fewer modifications are allowed on Superstock motorcycles. Riders must make do with stock ECUs, standard radiators, and no cartridges.
The IDM Supersport 600 and the IDM Superstock 600 start in the same field but are scored separately. Visually, they are very easy to tell apart. IDM Supersport 600 riders wear blue race numbers on a white background, while IDM Superstock 600 participants wear white numbers on a blue background.
