TesarRacing 1,825 Posted November 27, 2012 Hi Bruno, I was at Assen in 1977 for the Dutch TT expecting a Barry Sheene win but Dutchman Wil Hartog won. Great circuit and fantastic atmosphere. Is that the year you were there? Yes, check out the motogp website for all the info. Better still get yourself to one of the races..............beats F1 hands down and we have a real prospect in Cal Crutchlow especially if he can get on a factory bike.

BuckTaylor64 34 Posted April 23, 2013 Crutchlow would be a contender on works machinery. He's beating Rossi who is a full factory rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted April 26, 2013 sorry to be thick but whats the difference between moto gp and world superbikes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryW 1,177 Posted April 27, 2013 sorry to be thick but whats the difference between moto gp and world superbikes Basically, Superbikes are based on production machinery that is available to the public for street use. MotoGP uses purely prototype machinery that never needs to be sold to the public. It's kind of like the distinction between Touring Car racing and F1, although the differences in the bikes is much smaller than in the car racing world.
