I thought I would hate the Daytona series, spec tires, allowing 1125cc bikes to run with 600s, etc....But I was wrong. Right now I enjoy watching Daytona sportbike as much as WSB. Moto GP always has 1 or two riders check out, so it hasn't been all that great. Those Daytona Sportbike guys are rubbing elbows out there. When Mladin retires, it'll be anybody's race on any given day in the Superbike series. He is one of the greatest AMA racers ever, but it would have been good for him to step up to the varsity league like my man Spies!!!
