Supersport - 600cc bikes with limited modifications confined to: exhaust, suspension, intake, FI adjustments, very minor engine tweaks, sprockets
Formula Xtreme - 600cc bikes with heavy modification including: engine management ECU, exhaust, intake, suspension, MAJOR engine mods (porting, polishing, blueprint, hone, tweak, whatever), transmission
    * 450cc-600cc multi-cylinder
    * 595cc-750cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder
    * 850cc-1350cc air-cooled twin-cylinder


Superbike - heavily modified 1000cc bikes
Superstock - limited modifications to 1000cc bikes

All must be naturally aspirated and based off a production model.

How's a 140 RWHP 600cc race bike NOT extreme?

That's not just extreme, that's formula extreme.
