Why'd you leave out the 125s?

Changed title to best ROAD racing.  Otherwise I'll eventually have to include go carts and NASCAR as well the way this is going.  Besides, I didn't think flattrack was even televised...

understood (though I disagree -- it's MC racing ;-}   )--

it is rarely televised, which limits the exposure it gets --

and yet, it draws crowds every time, in spite of the AMA seemingly trying to kill it

I went WSB, but there's a lot of great stuff out there right now, so it's hard to say that one is much better than the others.

I went for Daytona Sportbike which, really, is one I don't actually care a lot about. The races I've watched this year, though, have had a lot of great action. I think we have some rising stars there.

The class I've enjoyed most over the years I've watched bike racing (which isn't many -- I grew up following cage racing) is WSBK.
