Moto GP vs. SBK Superbike

[squala]

Ano difference ng dalawa, especially sa specs nung mga bike?

[morrissey_05]

guys correct me if im wrong. the Superbike is liter bikes 1000cc or there abouts. Ang MotoGP is around 600 cc.

[hilander]

paki correct din.

in addition, MotoGP bikes are factory bikes which are more like prototypes for future models of bikes for market, while SBK are existing market models but are tuned for circuit racing. Like F1, technologies used are later applied at passenger vehicles, while GT or touring car racing, existing na ang mga models na ginagamit pero puro mga race trimmed.

Tama ba? nalito ata ako dun ah.

both races are in the 1000cc class. 3 years back when the v engine was the norm, the limit is upto 550cc only.

Their main difference is that SBK bikes are production bikes, just what we could buy off the shelf, while motogp bikes are specialized bikes just like the F1 cars.

So far, Rossi's prediction still holds true, Gibernau will not win another race after Turkey last year.

yup! even when rossi crashed at suzuka, gibernau did'nt win!

korek!!!!!!!!!

[squala]

990 cc daw ang MotoGP bikes. Pero which among the two is more premiere?

[Macster]

for me.... moto gp. since most of us super bike racers here watch moto gp. riders from sbk are good but i think moto gp racers has the x-factor. hehehe

[flakez]

parang mas may x-factor nga ung motogp.

si colin edwards diba galing sa sbk. nasa peak na siya ng career niya sa sbk non tapos nag shift siya sa motogp. kaso ayun, bagsak siya. hindi ganon kaganda results.

i watched the moto GP last weekend, lupit talaga ni valentino rossi

i also find moto GP more exciting than F1 because there is more overtaking in moto GP. (hwag kayong magalit mga F1 fans ) especially now that they have the new rule where you can't change tires sa F1. drivers have to take more care of their tires, so di na ganun ka-agressive (opinion ko lang, hwag kayong magalit)

^im watching motogp more than formula 1 recently. mas exciting kasi at ang galing ni valentino rossi.

[boylit]

the lower classes are more competitive and, thus, more exciting to watch. try to catch the 250cc and 125cc races shown before the premiere motogp class.

[flakez]

tama! idol ko si rossi. hehehe. ilang beses ko na nakita sa last lap niya lagi kinukuha ung lead. basta pag last lap yari ka na kay rossi tapos siya lang ung nasa likod ng leader.

Pedrosa of the 250cc class seems to have the same style as Rossi, backing down a bit at the start, then begins to overtake near the closing stages. It's also likely that this tiny but mighty Spaniard will move up to Moto GP next season, the last for Rossi before a possible move to F1.

sayang hindi ko napanood ung lower class race ng british grand prix. replay na nga lang napanood ko kanina, nung mag rerestart na napanood ko.

damn! panalo nanaman si rossi! 7 out of 9 races. wohooo! although sayang dahil nag crash si gibernaua na naglelead nung race. tsk tsk. sobra talaga lakas ng ulan at ang daming nag crash. baka mas maganda laban kung hindi siya nag crash.

[squala]

I was expecting Gibernau to fall down. He's simply no wet rider. We have to give all the credit to Rossi. It doesn't do him justice to be compared to Schumacher. The Yamaha has an even slower top speed than the Honda, yet he was brilliant enough to make the most out of his bike and only lost twice.

As for the 125cc, I have to say there should be no wet race for these bikes. So many riders crash out, probably because of the really narrow tires. There should be thicker rubber, or else red flag the race.

Randy de Puniet really deserved the win in 250. He managed to hold on to a near crash and caught up with the Aussies.

[flakez]

rossi! hindi ko nga lang gaano napanood. napanood ko nung patapos na.

pedrosa is damn good. yup, you're right. parang nung simula nag hohold down muna siya. pero nung in the middle of the race na tapos napapansin niyang lumalayo na ung mga nasa harap saka siya gumalaw. unti-unti siyang umakyat from 5th to 1st. tapos nun wala na. isa to sa aabangan ko sa moto gp

[squala]

Kawawa talaga si Gibernau. Biruin nyo last lap naubusan ng gas. Pero kahit na, talagang destino siyang maunahan ni Rossi sa Brno.

Napansin ko rin sa 250 na maliit at sobrang gaan ni Pedrosa. Baka yun din ang dahilan kaya bumibilis siya. Malayo difference ng built niya kay de Puniet.
