As someone who is new to both WSBK and MotoGp, videos like this are a God send. Thank you.

Got to remember that WSBK does have 3 races a weekend. So the amount of racing between the two series is actually pretty similar. Up until this season, it was WSBK which has significantly more racing every season than MotoGP.

Catalunya Lap Lecord motogp: 38.686 wsbk: :39.489

Both Motogp & WSBK are super! & Both are very entertaining, & both are needed! & important in the motorcycle world 🌎. Also there total differences is what makes them unique, & so fabulous. & a want to watch sport! Things wouldn't be entertaining & appealing if things were not different!

I actually re-watched when Nicky Hayden sealed the title in Valencia 2006 last night and I really miss the bikes of those days, where the rider meant a lot more back then, not who has the better aero and electronics package like today. WSBK is a better watch today in my opinion.

Rider still means a lot in motorcycle racing. Acosta show the world that he schooled all ktm riders, 2 multiple world champions at portimao. Marc is carrying gp23 legacy against current ducati machine and other factories while fellow gp23 riders struggling in mid pack. Rider will always make a difference in bike racing.

But racing has always been like that. Why do you think some bikes were quicker than others. Not just down to the rider. Marquez has shown that.

MotoGP does not race at Imola. Both race at Motorland Aragon and Montmelo, though...

I was a big motogp fan and racing in general but in the last ten years or so I've been more interested in WSBK'S thats where the best racing is. GP has to many riders aid id love to see GP riders today go out on the 500 2strokes even for one session that would sort riders from the gamers.

Agreed. Rider aids have levelled the field to the point where it has almost become boring. The 1000cc four stroke is a much more smooth and forgiving beast compared to the animal that was the 500cc two stroke. Stick Marquez on a 500 in his prime and he’d be lucky to finish a race along with many of the younger riders today.

MotoGp mirrors F1. The new aero technology is a perfect example. Im not a big fan of the new motogp bike look. But it's amazing how much technology is crammed into those bikes. As they said in this video, worth up to 3 million dollars. Thats pretty crazy.

The cost reflects the manufacturers research and development effort and the design, build and test effort that they make. The MotoGP rules allow few evolutions of the bike so these must be thoroughly tested before these valuable limited evolutions are submitted for FIM evaluation before race use. So that is very different to racing a production bike.

@@lonpfrb What stunned me the most was the sophistication of the electrics. An ECU can control the speed of rotation of each wheel independently, the throttle position, suspension paths, incline angles, etc. A Motogp bike is equipped with dozens of different sensors. To a casual observer that sounds like rocket science. I'm a long time F1 fan, & I'm still very impressed with MotoGP. And just after a few months of watching tons of the videos on KZread I'm hooked.

The excitement in WorldSBK is intense ! respect all riders!

The frames are much stiffer in Motogp. One of the biggest differences. Both are great to watch.

A lot of people are comparing motogp to f1, but every time they fail to mention that wsbk has a car racing counterpart too, the grand touring races like gt3 where, like in wsbk, the machines are based on mass-produced vechiles and modified for race with a lot of flexibility in the powerplant unlike f1.

Great explanation 👍 thanks

Do t forget that every WSBK race is always a TWO RACE weekend. Actually 3, when you include Superpole.

There’s more camaraderie in MotoGP since many went through the same race academies. However, both are fantastic spectacles.

Great job.

World superbike is much more entertaining.

WSBK is 1-2 sec a lap not 2-3, WSBK is better to watch on TV due to the sliding and drifting, the downforce is ruining MotoGP.

If you look back at how spread out the racing was then, with riders being lapped. It was spectacular, but racing is closer now.

SBL has half amount of rounds but there are 2 races per round plus a 3rd points scoring mini race called superpole. So it evens out. Ever after the introduction of GP sprints.

Well worth a look at the top national SBK series too. Great racing and often the feeder series for WSBK. ISBK, JSBK and BSBK stand out as can be seen from the nationalities in WSBK.

WSBK bikes are not really close to production bikes. They change almost everything and end up costing several times more than a production bike. As you mentioned, a WSBK bike costs 250-300k dollars. A production bike will cost around 30k dollars...

However it is still production, not prototype racing. The race bike still has to appear like the production bike available for public sale, even limited edition homologation variants [V4R, R1M, CBR-1000RR-R SP, ZX-10RR] The research and development costs are sunk into the production variants with additional effort especially testing for the homologation race specials. However the race team doesn't get the factory engineers on site like MotoGP. Crew Chiefs, Suspensions Specialist, Data Logging and expert Mech Eng all add up to a significant cost allocated to each production race bike, along with a significant parts inventory and transport/facilities people too. Starting with a homologation production bike at $50k changing the exhaust, suspension and brakes for race parts then going testing pre-season is soon going to take $250k along with the crash damage.

Agree. People say wsbk are production bike as if all you need to do is put on some light and stand thats it. Read to write on road. Lol. No They literally take apart the whole motorcycle. Rewire the whole system, change the engine part, make specific parts that's aren't available to public. They're not just tuned in bike. Remember WSBK also have direct factory support team too.

Its like the difference between GTE and GT3 , or LMH and LMDH or something like that

'As a fan' I hope Carmelo reads this as a bit of a rant; I've bought a MotoGP video pass every year since timing passes were included in the price. I follow ASBK, BSB, and MotoAmerica on youtube whenever notices pops up. This year I bought a WSBK subscription and dropped the MotoGP. Top tier racing isn't about racing anymore. It's about who is linked to an F1 aero development team and who has the most innovative electrical engineers. This racing is as boring as a late era Bernie Ecclestone car race. Marquez has already told you you are losing the fan base because development dollars have superseded skill and cojones.We know you can afford to lose a few fans who don't agree with your business plan. Just look in the stands.

WSBK is based on street legal bikes you can buy. MOTOGP is like F1; the BEST technology and the BEST power/weight ratio. The technology trickles down from GP, eventually down to production road bikes ie. ABS,T/C, carbon fibre, Fuel injection etc. pretty simple really.

As someone who enjoy WRC, WSBK is like WRC. WRC stated that the manufacturer must sell this numbers of cars model (I forgot how many) to join WRC. Then you can modify and tune it based on regulations. That's why you can buy any WRC car.

MotoGP limited to 81mm bore to get their 1000cc. This is a significant restriction and means the rev limit and thus power levels are comparable

Pneumatic valves are a big thing that sets them apart

MotoGP and WSBK are governed by FIM not FIA

WSBK is more exciting to watch.

I have found that some heavier bikes, handle really well . Some light bikes, can feel “skittish” in corners. And can give very “vague” “feedback” So the slightly heavier WSB machines, can make up time, by being easier to ride. In my view? Machines can be too lightweight, and have too much power, for the frame to handle?

Somone please explain... Factory, satellite, etc.

@zulucrotchrocket4769

Factory has more resources. More, and usually the best engineers behind the scenes. Larger budgets. They get new updates, usually sooner, primarily in aerodynamics. In GP, the satellite teams have the same equipment, except some teams get last year models. Ex. Pramac gets this years bikes, and challenged for the championship last year (2nd in rider championship). Vr46 has last years models, but came in third last year in rider championship. In my opinion, this makes it really great to watch. It hasn’t always been like this in the past satellite teams rarely won, and had inferior equipment (especially when they had multiple tire manufacturers). This trend has bled over to worldsbk for most teams. The budgets have bigger gaps in super bike teams primarily behind the scenes. (Engineers, and talent) Best pilots in worldsbk end up on factory teams. In Motogp 10-12 different riders could end up on the podium. Of course there are outliers, especially in worldsbk. (Especially if they are on a Ducati). Ex. Iannone, and Petrucci, both of which are ex MotoGP.) (Ducati is dominating in both categories the last couple of years)
