The major difference between the two is that the Superbikes uses modified road-going motorcycles aka based on machines we can purchase off a show room floor. MotoGP has a grid of prototype bikes with nearly ever part being custom and is more like F1 in that regard.

With that being said the WSB teams put lots of extras on the bike where the rules allow and IMHO has better racing.

Other differences include the way they qualify, tires, and most of all I guess the number of races done in a weekend. WSB does a two race weekend vs. motogp's 1 race weekend.
