Super bike World Championships Phillip Island
The SBK World Championships – Season 2008!
GP Philip Island, Australia
Superpole :: SBK 2011
Phillip Island, Australia
Event Introduction
Superbike racing is all about showcasing the latest generation of high-performance four-stroke street bikes, with seven manufacturers set to battle it out for the 2011 world championship – Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati, BMW and Aprilia.
Much more than prototype-based grand prix racing, superbikes have a greater connection to the general public, because people can see the bikes they own being punted around on some of the finest race tracks in the world, including Australia’s very own Phillip Island.
The spectacular Phillip Island has one of the highest average speeds of any circuit in the world, and in the 2010 round Italian Max Biaggi (the eventual world champion) reached 319.8km/h down the main straight on his Aprilia V-four. That’s seriously potent performance.
The championship regulations allow four-cylinder bikes of up to 1000cc, or twins up to 1200cc. At the moment, Ducati is the only marque which is using a twin-cylinder configuration.
In 2011, the minimum weight for both twin-cylinder and four-cylinder bikes will be 165kg.
A superbike must remain in many aspects the same as the bike that can be bought in any dealership, including the body design. To be allowed to enter the world superbike title every manufacturer must produce a minimum quantity of a bike that must also be commercially available to the general public.
The championship also has a control slick race tyre, produced by Pirelli, giving all teams access to the same specification rubber to create closer and more exciting racing than ever before.

Supercross season is now in full swing. As we look back at the last Saturday's inaugural supercross event at Dodger Stadium, we have learned a lot of things about those running out front, and those who are the also-rans. Both classes have provided tons of excitement and more than a little drama. Here is a look back at Saturday's Supercross and five things I learned:
1. For average fans, and even some knowledgeable fans, and exponential growth, I'd like to see ESPN's involvement in the sport again.
Nothing against all the TV coverage and production companies and networks involved since ESPN was last involved back in the early 2000's, but ESPN has become the 'de facto' sports network in the USA. Even after all these years, fans still ask "What time will the race be on ESPN?" And what's the even bigger benefit for all involved? SportsCenter. If Supercross could have highlights on ESPN's SportsCenter – it will make a big difference in how the sport is perceived and bring it to sports fans that have never heard of supercross.
