Just thinking about the same thing after watching race 2 at Barber last night. Really the most competitive of all the leagues this year

For as much shit as everybody gives AMA and DMG, it is actually pretty good racing. Really, the next closest racing would be Moto 2, I would thing. I hope I have the time to go to Mid-ohio....

Why do you guys think AMA Superbike is such a snooze then. I mean comparatively. You have Hayes and one of the Yosh Suzukis keeping honest each week and then a trail of talented riders who can't keep up, sometimes 20-40 seconds back at the last lap?
I have this theory see. That the only thing lacking with that class is talented Crew Cheifs and Crew. Those are money items and I think most teams today just can't splurge for a knowledgable tuner to put them in the same league as the Yosh Squad. The Sportbike class has a ton of good riders on very simialar prepped machines, something that doesnt require big set up knowledge...But add 80-90 hp to the equation and then the machine needs a pretty good mind to dial in the chassis and suspension set up (along with the electronics Hayes mostly goes without)...
