What's better WSBK or MotoGP?

[chrism156]

I enjoy all bike racing but Motogp was always me favourite but of recent WSBK is in my eyes so much better. How about everyone else???

[muzikill]

Rossi in ducati and casey moner made it boring so i moved onto sbk and road racing. Love both now. But all change in the gp for this season!

I watch and love em all, but last year I found myself looking forward to Moto 2 the most. Also really enjoyed watching Kat Green having a good year on her 125 battling it out with all the kids. On the original question... probably WSB.

Funny to say tommy hill was in my dealership getting his car serviced yesterday, with all of his gear left in the back seats :)

[NTECUK]

must be some back seat to get an R1 on it ;)

[granty92]

mine has to be motogp, never found myself getting excited for wsbk

[carelesschucca]

MotoGP has the money and the prestige, but recently the races have been processional and boring. I actually fell asleep during a few races last year.

WSB has less money and Prestige but the races have been way better to watch...

In Order I rate the classes

Moto3 / Moto2
World Supersport
World Superbikes
Brittish Superbikes
MotoGP

In general though I think smaller engines seem to make for better racing, I don't really care for laptimes, its good close racing that I'm wanting to see

[Sir Trev]

Agree on the Moto3 and 2 - way more fun to watch than GP last year.

quite agree with this, motogp is just too expensive, i like races that have quite a lot of entrants in them, i think it makes them much more interesting races.

[Griff-SV]

At the moment WSBK is more exciting than MotoGP, which is a shame because the prototype bikes should be crazy & exciting. Bring back the 500cc two strokes!

[carelesschucca]

I worry for both Moto-GP and WSB, Dorna must have had big (but quiet) discussions about what to do with the two products that they own, that are competing against each other and not working together for the same goal i.e. to make them more money.

I also worry about BSB and the control Palmer has over it, because lets be honest if he had his way there would only be Oulton, Brands Hatch, Snetterton and Cadwell on the schedule.

And my final off topic rant is - WTF is the new Bridge at Cadwell all about... Phhh how to ruin the looks of one of the best views in motorsport... Sorry I know its practical but NOOO!!!!

[NTECUK]

Its a bloody long walk .
it be ok with some adverts
does look like a few pikeys welded some containers together though !

Its going that way, as Croft is seriously struggling financially and can't make much money due to the stupid noise restrictions (circuits make a loss holding MotoGP, WSB and BSB and sponsoring makes the shortfall)

I think they should take BSB to Olivers Mount

[The Gnome]

Bsb at olivers mount with the road race boys on the grid as well. To be honest Road racing in Ireland knocks it all into a cocked hat. We did BSB at Donington last year and the action seemed so far away , might as well watched it on the telly.
Can't beat racing between the hedgerows.

Agreed, it's an abomination!

Why didn't they build a Dunlop type arch bridge or a glass sided one, imagine the viewing from a glass bottomed one.

[carelesschucca]

Why didn't they just leave it the way it was, with the crossing in the same place. They opened it between all the races and you walked across the track... I loved sitting at Coppice, you could watch the bikes twice in the lap and see them going over the mountain... That new bridge must block out the wee stand that they had there too, its a really weird one if you ask me...

[chrism156]

Have to agree with a few on here that Moto 2 was a better watch last year due to the very close racing. I will continue to watch gp but last year it had a feeling of F1 to it (dull) hoping Marquez,Rossi,Lorenzo and pedrosa will all give us some great action.

[Degener8]

MotoGP is very boring, and expensive as a spectator.. you get more for your buck with Wsbk and even more with bsb, I also find bsb very gritty, rough around the edges if that makes sense? To be fair I only really pay attention to supersport anyway ...

[STRAMASHER]

MotoGp.

I love WSB too. But Gp is the one I have paid to see here and abroad. More of a spectacle. And I reckon a lot of that is to do with volume. Just how feckin loud and nasty GP bikes sound.
