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)...
