About this Event

Orange Cat Racing Season Launch — Chicago Watch Party


Orange Cat Racing rides BMW superbikes at the highest level of competition, and this is the official launch of their 2025 season in partnership with Motoworks Chicago.

Join us Sunday, May 17 at the Ramova Theatre loft — right as riders return from the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. Watch live race coverage on the big screen, meet the Orange Cat Racing team, and see the bikes up close.

What to expect:

  • Live race screenings in the loft
  • Orange Cat Racing presence and assets on display
  • 250–350 DGR riders expected back around noon
  • A first look at what's coming at Road America

The same DNA behind the race bikes lives in the bikes on our floor every day — the BMW S1000RR and M1000RR. This event is a direct connection between what you ride on the street and what wins on track.

Last year, Orange Cat Racing played a major role in helping Motoworks Chicago become the #1 Distinguished Gentleman's Ride team in the world. This is what building on that looks like.

Come out, watch the races, and be part of the season launch.
