melandri does well in the rain, plus as i understand it the zx-rr has more flex in the chassis compared to other machines on the grid which is supposed to offer better feel in low traction situations. Now if you were referring to a not raining time he did well id love to hear about it. Ive always liked the zx-rr. Still it happens far less in gp than it does in sbk. Byrne, nieto, laconi, haslam have all had brilliant moments this year as privateers.

Don't watch either. It's a sport that has to be followed and I just don't care that much.

Always WSBK because of the production base and tighter racing.

wsbk but didn't watch much this year since bayliss is retired.

Before Bayliss retired it was pretty even for me. I love watching Bayliss and Rossi pull off the impossible. Now I prefer GP, just because I know the next magic moment from #46 is always right around the corner.

Definitely WSBK. They seem to have a decent formula for getting good races. The GP races are boring and the same five guys are always at the top (with Edwards almost always in 5th).

WSBK has better races to watch. MotoGP has better races to attend.

best GP racing this year was in the 250

PCSB. Why watch racing on TV when you can be within 10 feet of the bikes and riders?
