I completely agree JC. Sure, bike racing has a healthy fan base, but it's F1 that gets the limelight and the air-time, but I know which I prefer to watch. These guys are what I would call bat-sh*t insane.
I don't know what it's like in the US, but in the UK, there is little fanfare made about superbike racing on the TV. Every now and then I catch some on, mainly by accident, and it's a pleasure. I caught a race at Laguna Seca, with the corkscrew, and another with a similar corner in Germany I think - amazing stuff. The German circuit had mainly left curves leading to a right curve, so the right side of the tyre is cooler - so famous for the bikes sliding. They still entered the corner at full beans.
Mental.
