2010 Superbike Smackdown

[Porkchop]

So I don't think this is a repost, but MotoUSA did a super comparo this year instead of splitting them up like Motorcyclist did. The videos are pretty awesome. Steve Atlas and Adam Waheed don't pump out as much technical information as the Sport Rider guys, but they are pretty descriptive and funny as hell....

But boy would I love to have these guys jobs for just a goddamn week, ride all these beasts, and make my own deductions.

As far as the conclusions and placing go, it seems about right. I completely hate how Ducati sends a tricked up Corse S to a stock competition. That completely opens up questions about lap times and capabilities because of the trick suspension and exhaust bits. You didn't see Aprilia send the Factory edition, or KTM send the RC8R. I think the Duc would have faired much different with stock bits.
