Mark Burkhart		Brandon Currie

For 2008, Yamaha is pleased that they aren’t changing a thing with the SuperMoto race team that brought home two titles in 2007. Graves Motorsports, Mark Burkhart and Brandon Currie will go into the 2008 season ready to defend their titles with Doug Henry right by their side as Race Team Advisor.

Flying under the Graves Motorsports flag Yamaha’s 2007 AMA SuperMoto effort could not have gone any better. With Mark Burkhart riding a YZ450F in the SuperMoto Class and Brandon Currie riding a YZ250F in the SuperMoto Lites Class the season ended with both riders taking home their respective titles.

After making a preseason promise to smooth out his style and be more consistent Burkhart did just that winning six out of 10 races and finishing on the podium eight out of 10 races. When asked about winning the title Mark said, “This championship really is for Doug Henry. It is such an inspiration having him come to these races. Doug deserves this championship more then any of us on the podium”.

Not to be outdone in the consistency department by his teammate, Brandon Currie won his SuperMoto Lites title with an equally impressive season that saw him win four main events and finish runner up in the other six.
