The 2012 Superbike World Championship was the twenty-fifth season of the Superbike World Championship. It began on 26 February at Phillip Island and ended on 7 October in Magny-Cours after 14 rounds.

The season saw the number of complete motorcycles in use limited to one per rider; this meant that the rules allowing bike changes during a race (flag-to-flag) were cancelled.[1][2]

Aprilia rider Max Biaggi clinched his second SBK championship, pipping Kawasaki rider Tom Sykes by just half a point. Marco Melandri won more races than both Biaggi and Sykes this season but failing to score points in 5 of the last 6 races cost him the title.

Race calendar and results[edit]

The provisional race schedule was publicly announced by the FIM on 24 September 2011 with thirteen confirmed rounds and two other rounds pending confirmation.[3] Russia appeared for the first time in the calendar with a round at the brand-new Moscow Raceway.[4] The calendar was updated in October 2011 with the confirmation of the Imola round, for a total fourteen rounds.[5] All races with the exception of Miller Motorsports Park – races held on Memorial Day Monday – were held on Sundays.
