MotoGP claims that the 2 series will still be run separately. But time will tell if the 2 series merge in the future.

Well, that's one way of resolving the differences between the two series ... WSBK has been annoyed at MotoGP's move towards four-strokes.

Does anyone even pay attention to WSBK anymore?

Where did you read it - link please? I only heard there are 3 potential buyers and one of them is MotoGP

WSBK still has great attendance and support, just not in north America.

WSS is right up there with moto2 for the fun factor.

I'd rather watch wsbk than almost any other series.

Moto gp didn't buy wsbk. Bridgepoint is now the owner of both series. It's in their best interest to keep them separate.

Ever since MotoGP went 4-stroke and the Japanese gave up on competing against Ducati with their own big twins, interest has really died here.

Might have something to do with having one North American date on the calender, and the circuit they use is in the middle of nowhere.

At least someone actually read the press release ...

Bottom line.

The same corporation owns both series.

Yes, but the people who actually run moto gp have no say in what happens to wsbk. Therefore your title is misleading.

For now.

motogp is crap! it's like a 5 bike race every time they go out

 

[mongol777]

I still like it the most. And in 2012 - 800 and 1000 cc engines plus CRT teams, we shall see how it will shake up the grid.

I actually find WSBK more exciting to watch.... its not a parade lapping session like Moto GP has been for most of the races this year. They just need to step up the camera work. I do see this move as very dangerous to WSBK's future. too bad.
