Default What's better WSBK or MotoGP?

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???

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

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

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