MotoGP or World Superbike?

[Duke girl]

You have just been given a ride in either the Moto GP or World Superbikes for a season, which 1 would you choose and why?
Moto GP
World Superbikes

[k14]

Thats easy, motogp. Who else gets to ride the MotoGP ducati or Yamaha? Any old joe with 500k can buy a ten kate CBR1000 or Ducati.

[enigma51]

Motogp for sure as K14 said its more exclusive.


BUT

According to some racers who have raced in both.
World superbike is a much friendlier paddock that motogp. So maybe a few season in motogp and a few in Wsbk would be nice.

[Okey Dokey]

Valentino Rossi would be my choice! :2thumbsup

Is that wishful thinking? :whistle:

[yod]

you'd have to try the prototype, they must be inSANE

[Ivan]

I actually would prefer SBK

Nah pushing crap would be what he would be doing riding for Suzuki.

Have to say Moto GP. Same as V8s/formula 1 - V8s might be more fun and have more cars but formula 1 is the pinnacle.

[James Deuce]

Neither. I want to ride in the XR1200 cup support races for BSB.

You a fan of this guy Poos ?

[Kiwi Graham]

Moto GP without doubt. Max spec'd prototype 200+ hp beasts oh yeah. Just the opportunity to ride one for 10mins would be dream come true.

[wharfy]

My obvious lack of talent would be really embarrassing but I would have to take MotoGP.

[roadracingoldfart]

SBK everytime . The lap times are similar anyhow so where is the point in being in the so called top class where ya job is on a knife edge as far as security goes. ??

SBK will (in my opinion :rolleyes:) last longer than Moto GP as its an identity to many riders and non riders around the world.

Look at the fun the Moto GP guys have when they come over to SBK .
Look at the bummed out faces :( of some who dont make the successful jump to Moto GP as well.

Depends on the circuit. MotoGP and SPK are close on tight circuits but still way apart on faster more open ones. I read somewhere that the lap times of SPK are pretty similar to 250GP.

Must say that SPK provides some good racing though. MotoGP currently consists of Stoner/Rossi - or Stoner if Rossi doesn't have a good start and can't use his talent in close quarters.

The grid of the most recent MotoGP looked pretty empty - unlike SPK.

Not sure what would be more emabarrassing...
In SBK I'd `only' get lapped every 6 laps or so, unlike every 4 or so in MotoGP. But theres 2 races so I'd get lapped about 25% more in total, so I guess MotoGP it is :crazy:

It has to be Moto GP.
It is the ultimate class. Unfortunatlety the last couple of years have been less than exciting and this year is not looking to improve.
WSBK keeps getting better and better as more big name riders come in and the manufacturers are redirecting focus from Moto GP as the budgets are smaller and audiences appear to be getting equal with Moto GP.
But having said all that, I've ridden a Fireblade, but will NEVER EVER get to ride an RCV212, hence Moto GP.
