BMW to WSBK

in 2009, following Triumph lead a year later. WSBK: <B>BMW to join World Superbike in 2009</B>.. It will be interesting to see how they do after a couple of years in competition.

Re: BMW to WSBK

Interesting but unless they seriously change some of their bike design strategies they don't have a chance.

Re: BMW to WSBK

Hopefully WSBK and the other teams will make some considerations to help get BMW and Triumph up to speed. Them seem to have already with the homologation required numbers. I think the new requirements are 1000 bikes for 2008, 2009 and 3000 bikes for 2010.
