If the factories were all in Superbike it would be an incredible series and that would draw more fans in.
If that's the case then we also need to dump Nascar racing, as well as F1 racing and only have Touring Car racing and World Rally Championship, because those are cars that they actuall "sell"

You stay in the US, I'll enjoy my hobbies that America looks down on and the rest of the world embraces

It really sucks.

If people actually liked close racing with lots of battles they would like motorcycle racing.

I can't believe how much time NASCAR fans have for watching that stuff on TV. 4-5 hours for a race and then all the wrap up and preview shows too. Who has that much time?

I'd rather be out for a ride.
I'd rather be sawing off my balls with a rusty hacksaw. Fuck NASCAR.

You mean that 2 door Taurus in NASCAR isn't actually a Taurus.

Haha, yeah Nascar is about the most entertaining sport I could think of. LEFT TURN....straight.......LEFT TURN......straight......LEFT TURN.....you get the picture. The only thing entertaining about Nascar is the crashes. You wanna see REAL races, look into JGTC or any other touring car series, as well as F1 racing, you know, racing where they have to turn right, and have varying degrees of turns.

NASCAR SUCKS BALLS!

Nascar has what....2 road courses, Talladega and one other, and they aren't even that technical. Nascar drivers are all a bunch of pussies. Yes....I have a passion for hating Nascar, most hick redneck trailer park sex with your sister wife beater wearing mullet having sport there is.

News flash: F1 is extremely boring. I spent plenty of years watching the high dollar parade with Mikey winning all the time. I got tired of it.

Plus the CART series (which was the world's greatest series in the mid to late 90's with over half the field capable of winning on any given Sunday) gets the shaft from Tony George ruining open wheel racing in this country.

When I finally got into watching the motorcycles race I was hooked. It is the most exciting form of racing there is. The switch of MotoGP to Ultra Superbike format (4 stroke near 1000 cc's) has hurt Superbike. Colin Edwards vs. Troy Bayliss in WSC is some of the most exciting stuff I've ever seen.

As far as cars go, all the production based forms of racing are a lot better then the full on kind. Touring Cars, Speed World Challenge and the like are all better racing. Racing meaning that there is actual passing taking place.

Production racing is better and there is a direct relationship to the real world. Superbike and Supersport is why we have the bikes that are for sale right now. They are awesome and keep getting better.
