125cc and 250cc Chinese GP

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (richo @ May 17 2006, 01:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>My problem was I`d stay up till 2am on a Sunday night watching the MotoGP then I`d want to watch 250s but a bunch of Europeans on lawnmower engine bikes sent me to sleep. It is close racing and good racing, but I get tired. Besides, I gotta be a patriot and support SBK over 125/250 GP. That where my countries champions come from.

I think WSB is .... because it's F1 on 2 wheels they pass at 1st corner then thats it like F1 BORING

sorry richo but it bores me to death
 
Hey Richo there's aussies too in 250cc. There's Anthony West and last year they had Casey Stoner. And the grid is quite International, there's a bunch of Japanese, 2 South Americans ...

Yeah there`s Westy and Crashey used to be there before he got a free ticket to motoGP. But one of them is called Stoner and the other one is a stoner (according to Katt...) not vey good role models

Besides, when you compare how well they do in 250s to what guys like Bayliss, Corser and CV have achived in SBK it kinda pales in comparison. Not even the yanks (who invented Superbike racing) can currently match Australia`s finest in WSBK (Or their domestic championship for that matter, GO MLADIN!
<
) SBK for me is like 250s or 125s for you, Teo. They`re both full of talented Spainiards. Well WSBK is full of talented Aussies.

Have you actually watched a decent SBK race Wes?

It could put MotoGP races to shame in terms of action. Because the bikes are based on stockers and modification rules are real strict, the bikes are incredibly close in specification. R1`s, Gixxers, CBRs 999s and ZX-10s can race side by side. Can you imagine Hopper`s GSV, Nakano`s Kawa, Nicky`s Honda and Rossi`s Yamaha all duking it out for podium finishes?
<
Like that`s ever gonna happen. They`re too far apart in development. Superbikes are a level field. This lead to real close racing between a lot more riders and bikes. Plus the fact that they go out 2 times a day instead of 1.
Maybe you just don`t like SBK because King Carl went from world champ to manager of the Petronas team and their crap bikes, Hodgson went missing and is belived to be somewhere between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and just as JT was making a comeback Bayliss rocked up and trampled `em all

Ahh, Frosty, you might like Honda`s but at least you know to root for Hayden or Toesland and not Barrichello

Just for the record, Spies have been beating Mladin senseless this season. Go Yanks.
 
I have watched a SBK race and it was .... NOT much over taking like 125 or 250 so I will stick to MotoGP rather than .... WSB

Istanbul motoGP would have been considered average action to a hardcore SBK fan. Besides, 250s and 125s are for little kids who are too weak or scared to grab 200hp and 160kg of testosterone by the horns and ride the wheels off it. Real men race Supers!
