A few months ago he was reported to have been talking to Aprilia about a
ride on the RSV4. Biaggi's team-mate hasn't been doing much. Could it
still come about?

I was never making reference to one side or the other, just a what if he and Suzuki had stayed together, would he have still been in MotoGP now.

Kinda right, but damn stop crashing.
He does have a shot in BSB if he swallows his pride. They have real racebikes there

I don't see how SBK can survive. Actually, It'd be great if 5 more GP races got added (New Jersey, Brazil, Russia-St Pete, Montreal, South Africa) and GP toured with SBK, having SBK race Saturday after GP Qualifying.

Superbike can survive because more and more fans are finding the hidden gem. If things continue, look for attendance to balloon.

New Jersey
Do they have real racetracks in New Jersey?

Why wouldn't SBK survive? Much cheaper (relatively) to enter and run a team than MotoGP. Plus they are racing production based bikes, not prototypes, so the development costs must not be as staggering as MotoGP.

I'd honestly rather have a world championship with 25 races and 4 classes.

www.njmotorsportspark.com IIRC, they had an AMA race there a few weeks ago

Apparently, there's plenty of dirt track. But since I'd never heard of Travis Pastrana, I'm just finding out about them

As you know, the east coast is a nice place to ride!

Depends on what the manufacturers want to do, and they are not always notably sensible. It also seems to me anyway that part of the reason wsbk is cheaper is that a significant amount of the technology is developed in motogp.
