Started following WSBK towards the end of last season. While I still prefer motoGP, the fact that the Panigale is the second best bike in WSBK is a good reason to get interested. My gripes with WSBK is the commentary isn't even on the same planet as motoGP and not all races are shown on BeIN Sports here.
Off-topic, how on earth is the ZX-10R such a better bike? Reviewers all over have praised the new R1 as being better than the Panigale (1299 not the R), but the Panigales have been beating them consistently. Also anyone check out the burning Panigale from the Stock 1000 race?
