What is your favourite pilot of motorcycle races and why?

Question

motogp,ama,sbk,supersport,superstock..et...

Answer 1

Always great to see Vale Rossi in Motogp.

I guess my fav rider of all time has to be Mick Doohan on the Honda 500cc ( pre Motogp). So amazing to watch a man power silde a 200 + BHP bike at over 160 mph.

Answer 2

for dirt biking its ricky carmichael i mean you gotta love em' he is the best!suzuki dr-z 250

Answer 3

Joey Dunlop, now sadly passed away. Joey was simply a nice guy and one of the greatest road racers there ever was. A hero in Irish Road Racing and especially the Isle of Man TT.

Now, OK, I also like some track racers. Valentino Rossi has both skill and personality, Leon Haslam is following in his father's wheeltracks, and, basically, anybody who can ride a race bike at nutter speeds, scraping body parts (not just the bike's) on the tarmac, deserves respect. But the Dunlop dynasty does it for me.

Answer 4

MotoGP because they are the best in the world.  Currently I like John Hopkins.  I have followed his career and I think he has a lot of potential from my standpoint.  Also, he is riding for Kawasaki next year which happens to be my favorite team.  I know everyone out there is very competitive but he seems to have a fire lit underneath him and finishing off the podium is not good enough for him.

I am a fan of Garry Mccoy....and his on the edge sliding style.  I always thought he added excitement to the races but he started to slip once they went away from the 500cc 2 strokes.  I think I would rather have the memory of him sliding his way around the track on a 500 cc machine, competitive race after race, than the memory of him on the Kawasaki at the end of his Moto GP run.  Tony Elias is the closest thing to him going right now but he seems a little too out of control at times.

I think AMA supersport is also good because it is so competitive and anything can happen.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I am just a huge fan of motorcyle racing fullstop. Enjoyed waching Andy Caldecott race the paris to dakar but god bless his soul passed away doing the race and what he loved best. Love watching Casey Stoner in the motogp great to see an aussie back up there. And love watching leigh adams in the speedway, was fortunate to have leigh stay at my house when Port Pirie was hosting long track events. Love to watch Chad Reed racing AMA supercross. In South Australia we have an up and coming junior, Luke Arbon he is totaly awsome to watch, so smooth and never makes misteaks. And finally I love watching my other half race, David Footner he is a former state and Aussie title holder in  motocross, vintage motocross and speedway!!!

Answer 7

I can watch only MotoGP here so I know only their riders. I'm a huge fan of Valentino Rossi because of his history as a rider. He has more than talent and is doing pretty well when he hasn't got problems with the tyres ;)) I also like Marco Melandri. The last race he proved that he has skills. He was racing while he was injured and finished in the first places.

I'm also a fan of Alvaro Bautista and Mattia Pasini. I'd be happy to see them one day in the motogp class!  

and who is your favourite rider? :)
