    WRC runs all sorts of cars, they just limit horsepower, why not do the same with bikes if you want them to race together. If you had a choice between the factories working on more horsepower or better handling - which would you choose?

    The owners of WSB would have to be crazy to get rid of ducati, wsb has a massive fan base in italy. Who's gonna stop watching if honda doesnt turn up?

    Nobody.
    I disagree. A whole bunch of us stopped watching when the 4s stopped showing up. We started again a couple of years ago. If Ducati is convinced that the best format for a 1000cc sportsbike is a twin then let them prove that under the same rules as everyone else. On some tracks I'd wager they'll be right.

    I agree. When I was at school I had WSB posters all over my walls. Now, WSB, what's that? That's not to say it isn't worth watching now... but since the time you describe above, who can be bothered getting back into it. I dare say MotoGP are laughing all the way to the bank.

    Eh???

    Motogp??
    How can people complain SBK is boring since the same guy wins all the time?

    I predict a lot of people watching motogp to see who will emerge, but 800cc

    Kinda odd aint it?

    I like the 1 tyre rule, 2005 season of smoking tyres was awesome to watch!!!

    The reason people dont watch SBK any more is because its never on tv, or the papers or even the news. Who cares, I just buy the end of season DVD and watch 3 straqight hours of it.

    Cool!

    btw: yeah, I too remiss about the glory days, 1994 diesel jeans - I was there, riding my Kawa Z1000 and my mullet.

    :-) LOL!

    Sky

    150 channels of crap WITH adverts

    $600 a year sound pretty steep to watch 3 hours of motorcycles.

    Sky takes it up the arse.

    Bit more than 3 hours. 3 hours of racing per meeting, and there's about 12 a year. But thats assuming the only reason you get it is to watch bike racing.
