Which series do you like watching the most?

I like watching WSBK the most personally.

In the past...before this year it was MotoGP for me but honestly this year I've enjoyed WSBK quite a bit more.

I don't follow either. If I happen to flip through the progran guide and see a race, I'll watch it.

WSBK was way more entertaining this season. I still watch both series though. MotoGP 600 or whatever the hell they are going to call it should be fun to watch too.

I'm the same way. Used to follow both but now, if it weren't for facebook statuses I wouldn't even know when it's on.

wsbk. Its all tight exciting rider battles. Moto gp is interesting because of the exotic nature of prototypes but over there its who spends wins. Never gonna some shit like what shakey pulled this weekend. Not without an act of god anyway

WSBK usually has more entertaining races, a MotoGP race is only interesting for like the first 5 laps normally and then that is pretty much how it finishes.

Not true, Melandri was doing well on the kawi a couple of races, even after development stopped. Elias won a race over Rossi in 06. It happens in WSBK about as often as MotoGP.

That's my exact feelings actually.

melandri does well in the rain, plus as i understand it the zx-rr has more flex in the chassis compared to other machines on the grid which is supposed to offer better feel in low traction situations. Now if you were referring to a not raining time he did well id love to hear about it. Ive always liked the zx-rr. Still it happens far less in gp than it does in sbk. Byrne, nieto, laconi, haslam have all had brilliant moments this year as privateers.

Don't watch either. It's a sport that has to be followed and I just don't care that much.

Always WSBK because of the production base and tighter racing.

Before Bayliss retired it was pretty even for me. I love watching Bayliss and Rossi pull off the impossible. Now I prefer GP, just because I know the next magic moment from #46 is always right around the corner.

Definitely WSBK. They seem to have a decent formula for getting good races. The GP races are boring and the same five guys are always at the top (with Edwards almost always in 5th).

WSBK has better races to watch. MotoGP has better races to attend.

PCSB. Why watch racing on TV when you can be within 10 feet of the bikes and riders?

Come on now. Szoke must have forgotten about that little margarine incident by now.
