Ya, V. Rossi owns MotoGP and Colin Edwards is the champ of WSB, but who'd win between those two?

If im not mistaken, the motogp racer bikes, NSR500V, RGV, etc etc etc, has way much hp than the superbikes. The fact that Rossi, Biaggi, etc can handle these bikes with that much hp, makes it seem that they are "better" (note the quotes) than the superbike riders. Especially Rossi, cause of the fact that he can adjust to basically any motorcycle right away. When he switched from the RS250 to the NSR500, he was still succesful unlike some of the other riders that switched. He was also able to make a smooth transition from the 2-stroke to the 4-stroke; which i believe is very hard to do. (what would i know, i only ride 2 strokes)

and then rossi picked up the rc211v and only had to race hard to win when he was done playing with the competitors.

but to honda's credit the thing is apparently a rider's motorcycle.

good article: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/RC211Vtest/

Well I guess that Rossi and the MotoGP racers on "equal" bikes are faster and more talented than the other circuit racers.
