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.

Thanks. I wasn't sure. So why is it that only MotoGP riders seem to be known? I did know that the GP bikes were specific race bikes and that they were restricted on how they can modify the bikes.
Hmm I need to check them out since I've never watched WSBK races before.
