Nate Kern Wins Four National Championships

Mainline BMW of Devon, PA and race pilot Nate Kern snagged four national championships in October's Race of Champions. This annual event held at Daytona International Speedway grids the winners of each region around the country against each other. In each race, the R1200S won in commanding fashion, defeating some of the best riders in the country. The victory is all the more impressive since the bike is virtually stock.

Additionally, for the second consecutive season, Main Line held onto the #1 plate by winning the overall CCS Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Championship. Within those overall #1 championships Nate won nine class championships in total. Five were in the Mid Atlantic region, including the ultra competitive Unlimited Superbike and Unlimited Supersport Championships aboard the K1200R PowerCup bike. Four additional championships were in the Southeast region as well.

Visit with Nate and get first hand accounts of the 2006 season and plans for the future at a Cycle World International Motorcycle Show near you:
