AMA needs to reformat??

Watching the Superbike races was like watching paint dry. Mladin was dominant. Somehow the AMA needs to get Kawasaki and Yamaha into the Superbike mix. The Formula Extreme class is a joke. The AMA should strive for total factory participation in 2 classes Supersport and Superbike. SuperStock has diluted the Superbike talent pool. I say go down to two highly competive classes. Either Honda gets into supersport or else they don't play. The same goes for Yamaha and Kawasaki in Superbike [/b]

Excellent Point, however would the factory boys want to give up....

Yep I see your logic. That would probably be more pratical. I wonder how the factory boys would be about playing on a level playing field. We always here Dave Sadowski talking about factory horsepower .... blah blah blah. I just wonder how Mladin would feel about eliminating their advantage. Or would they still have an advantage. Seems like the factory boys do have some kind of advantage is Supersport.

Great ideas

I just wonder if all these competing groups could work together. You are right it would help the sport if they could. WSB has become the Ducati cup.

Yep what happened to those legions of Buell Firebolts we were supposed to see?

Re: You got what you wished for

Touché How about a Ducati V-4? Probably 2006 I think. EBos seems to have the 999 going pretty well in Superbike.

Maybe Burns is right eh?

"It was also kinda boring because Yates wasn't around drop kicking anyone" LOL, Maybe Burns is right we need more characters; see click here

Sean's idea is probably the best

i.e. only two classes Supersport and Superstock. However, would the factory boys go for that? It seems the factory boys get a big advantages in Superbike. Would they give it up? The two Haydens seem to be doing well in Superstock.

Excellent Point, you conviced me.

You are right no series would want to be a "feeder' series. Being a selfish American, I go back to my original suggestion of having just two classes in AMA Supersport and Superbike.
