He seems to be at least a top ten rider, but I'll have to wait and see if he's a top 3 rider.

This is pretty cool. WSBK is going to gain tons of popularity in the US this season it seems.

All you have to do is set up the suspension and pick a tire??? All you have to do? Have any clue how adjustable these WSBK spec bikes are? They have electronics too just not to the level of MotoGP.

I just didn't want you to think it was easy...

But you have all of the same if not more chassis adjustments in GP.

Imagine trying to pick springs and damping, while sorting out what gear set you're going to use, setting up engine braking, and tuning the engine.

And I wasn't really saying setting up a wsbk was easy, just a lot easier than a GP bike.
