    Superbike Title

    Just for a bit of a fun I'd like to get a handle on how people rate these riders chances of winning the National Superbike Title next year. Its a long way out and I've probably left a few names out of the list. Poll for the rider you think will come out on top not the one you would like to see win.

    Notice these peoples surnames are in alphabetical order.

    Should've made it a multi choice

    How the hell did my name get in there?

    Just for shits and giggles Kevin Curtain's rumoured to be competeing on the factory MV too.

    I'd say Bugden will be hard to beat, especially with last years experience and the development time they've had with the K7 in their own championship this year. Andrew and Craig are both demons also and ya can't discount either of them. Sam's a freak on anything two wheeled as he's proved numerous times.

    Regardless, the next New Zealand Superbike champion will have Ohlins suspension, looked after by Robert Taylor I reckon. So he gets my vote

    From what I saw at Manfield Sam's R1 has got some serious get up and go, more top end than Craig's gix and about the same everywhere else. Be interesting to see if Craig was holding back or if Sam has an insane motor.
    Looked like Sam was still riding the bike like a 125 though - all corner speed rather than the point and squirt that suits power beasts.

    Don't under-estimate Brian Bernard's engine set up ability, or Scott Charlton's riding prowess. It's going to be an interesting season

    Yeah I think Mr Giles has to feature pretty high up the list. But my vote goes for Mr Smith. That new yamaha is looking pretty fast indeed.

    Talking

    I just voted without looking at the post and instinctively went for the one and only WT as that's who I'd like to see win it.

    As the Man said though there is a great bunch of riders so should be a good season.

    Mr White Trash

    A big Thank you to Marty at typeface for sponsoring me to have a go in my first race


    Thanks to Steven at kittyosheas for building the computer program we're using at the sprints and the Hill Climb.
