For over 35 years, the World Superbike Championship has been the crucible of production-derived racing, where showroom motorcycles are sharpened into race-winning weapons. Superbike Showdown tells the full, untamed story-from the Isle of Man’s TT Formula roots to the global theatre of modern WSBK. Drawing on race data, technical regulations, and official documentation, this book chronicles the evolution of machines, riders, and rules that shaped one of the most technologically rich and commercially significant championships in motorsport.From Ducati’s desmodromic dominance to Kawasaki’s green dynasty and Yamaha’s crossplane resurgence, every title fight is unpacked with dyno figures, lap charts, and verifiable facts. Featuring factory intrigue, privateer miracles, and the silent war of electronics, this is the definitive narrative of regulated rivalries. Whether you’re an engineer, a fan, or a motorsport historian, Superbike Showdown delivers the precision and spectacle that define production-based racing at its finest.
