Team Hero EBR is set to race in the fourth round of the 2015 World Superbike Championship at Assen despitꩵe the🦋 manufacturer filing for bankruptcy.

Erik Buell Racing entered the series as a factory team at the start of the 2014 season💎, becoming the first American manufacturer to do so, but while it endured a tough maiden year, changes over the winter have seen it emerge as a point-scoring contender in 2015 with Niccolo Canepa and Larry Pegram.

However, the Milwaukee-based company - which emerged in the wake of the closing of Buell Motorc꧃ycle in 2009 - says it has run out of funding to continue producing road bikes, despite personal investment from eponymous owner Erik Buell and Indian motorcycle manufacturer Hero.

Nonetheless, a source told mahbx.com th🔯at the World Superbike team remains unaffected for the time being and will be racing at Assen this weekend as planned.

Going forward🌃, as the team is funded by Hero and the 1190RX bikes have been homologated, it could well continue to race in 2015 even if the manufactur♊er does indeed shut its doors for good.
