Japanese Road Racing (Motorcycles) JSBK?

Question

As some of the regulars to this section know, Im a big fan of the Japanese riders. last year Wiggysan gave me a Link to

http://www.motoracing-japan.com/english/index.html

It was just a place to get results in english of the Japanese road racing in Japan.

I have just been to have a look and wanted to know if anyone knew there is Highlights of the first round from Montegi on there.

Its from Yamaha and is in Japanese. But its a step nearer to actually getting some idea of the talent that is coming out of Japan.

To put this as a question

Is anyone else excited about this ? I hope they do the whole season. it needs to be televised, as the date list is getting shorter every year. and that is bad for the sport.

Answer 1

Your right Mr Proc, the JSB is a fantastic title. Its as good as the British Supers, and dare I say it, better then the AMA.

Trouble is they have no problem finding Japanese sponsors, so it is rarely ever show out side of JPN.

Look at the Suzuka 8hr. Every team going and some sponsors that only hardened race fans have heard of. EG Seven Stars, for Honda. ( j*p tab firm )

I do the odd youtube search now and again to see if anything new is about, but there is not alot.
