Don't the GP bikes have anti lock braking and all sorts of electronic throttle control stuff? I'm not a fan of all that.

They don't have abs, as this limits how hard you can brake and you see lots of riders lock the front braking hard. They do have anti wheelie and complex traction control though

The traction control is fully adjustable though so can be turned off and on

@jaymarshall2073 that's what I was thinking of, the traction control. That's ridiculous, let the rider ride!

Yeah I mean no kidding. We're talking about a prototype chassis versus a basically commercially available showroom bike with some modifications. GP bikes have always been stiff. Go back to the days of Honda with Freddie Spencer they experimented a ton on chassis stiffness. How could anybody not know that there is a massive Delta between a GP bike and a production Superbike? 😂 That's why there's only a handful of riders throughout history and modern day who can go from Superbike to GP and be successful. If anybody's interested in doesn't know there is a documentary called the unrideables. Now those bikes are probably the hardest to ride Grand Prix bikes ever produced. That's why that era and those writers are hands down the best ever. Most Modern-day Riders would struggle immensely to ride old school 500 bikes.

The same would happen in reverse almost surely, with old timers struggling immensely to ride these new aero rocketships. These new GPs are ugly, big, full of electronics and becoming like F1 cars, 500 or even the 800 from 2007 to 2011 any day over these modern ones, that's for sure.

WSBK 2019😮😮❤👍🎉

Wow. Different In a lot of ways

That's why it's always dumb to compare riders between the two series. They can be as good as each others, but for a SBK guy to adapt to a GP is much harder, not because he's lacking skills but due to style and the extreme difference in stiffness like Spies says here. The riders groomed through Moto3 and Moto2 are used to that, and they build their riding style with those prototypes, while a guy who came up all his career riding STKs, SPSs or SBKs are used to those, and many can never adapt their style to the protos.

I've only watched superbikes didn't realize they weren't the same as GP until q few months ago Moto GP bikes look like try hard wannabe cars with two less wheels. As you can tell I like simplicity.

​@@crosfrancis8239 Way better at what? Bikes are uglier with all those aeros, MotoGP is becoming like F1, with riders who can't stay close to each others too much or they compromise the aero and they overheat their tyres. Ridiculous. SBK in the last years had much better races too with Toprak, Bautista, Rea and Redding.

Nah Ben is that you

He’s just not meant to be a GP rider.

He was competitive, and almost won two races in the greatest era against an alien like Stoner plus the other giants like Lorenzo, Pedrosa and Rossi. He was on his way to be a top rider, but then usual politics plus injuries cut that short for Spies unfortunately.
