Which bike road racing series do you like best?
I prefer the BSB, as it's great to go to more than a couple of events during the season and follow it properly so to speak.
But the WorldSupers down at Brands is the best event of the year for me.
Meant to add "other" ... so if it's other, just say which, without voting. |

Find it rather boring on the whole, getting a bit like F1. Tho I did watch the R6 challange thing. That was fairly close racing. |

My least favorite is Moto GP as you cannot start in the series and have a chance of a good placing without a factory bike. _________________ It's all down to quality of life ! |

Used to follow WSB and BSB, then watched more MotoGP last year.
My fave has to be road racing. Spent 2wks at the IoM TT a couple of years ago and haven't seen anything else that even comes close to it _________________ Don't wait for your ship to come in .. torpedo it out of the water and move on to the next target |

I don't know much about any of this and so have only watched GP to date.
I am going to try and follow some of Chuffster racing this year as it should be easy access and maybe able to get close to the action. |

BSB, followed very closely by Road Racing. MotoGP's good, but turned into a bit of a precession last year. WSB seemed to pick up a bit. |

Got to be Club racing for me...
Got absolutly nothing to do with having a few mates racing with Bemsee, plus I did Rookie 400's myself with the same club in 2004 of course
Where else can you go and get to watch up to 24 top class races in a day for £12 ???
Though, if I was going out for the day and MotoGP, WSB and BSB were on the same day, then it would be MotoGP the video got set for...... _________________ "I don't care what other people think of me because I judge myself on harsher and more strict terms than they ever could."

Equally Club racing (especially the MZ250 class - they are mad!) and Road racing. The TT is a very special experience, hoping to return to it in 2007 with some mates. _________________ Scott the Aussie,

Oh yeah nearly forgot - BEARS racing in all it's classes, Supermonos, and there used to be a series in Oz for 883 Sportsters that was very good as well. _________________ Scott the Aussie,

Cheers for the votes/comments people
Found it really interesting to see the lack of interest per se in the WSB racing... I woulder if Pirelli hadn't crippled it if this would have been a different result... still it's making a come back, and although i follow the BSB most, WSB at brands will always be my favourite event of the year |

agreed... that looks fun for both spectator and racers
anyway, thought i'd post up as to why i asked the original question... i've set upa fantasy BSB game... i just wanted to see which series had a following to make it interesting, and as i know alittle more about BSB than motoGP, i went with that.
link to the webpage is in my signature... if it looks interesting, then sign on up... |
