Today's Bonus:

I've had the game for just about 24 hours now, I bought this because Im an avid racing GAME fan (not so much in real life zz). I was feigning for something good on PS3. Most racers I've shopped for look like they suck or are not my type, So to compensate I'd been back on the Playstation2 playing INDYCARseries (I STRONGLY recommend to everybody reading this) and Nascar Chase For The Cup 05 (the absolute best one before they started wwatering their game down and eventually stopped making it). SuperBike 09 IS the Perfect Game. SBK 10 and 11, don't even waste your time, they watered those down too with arcade racing all the way around. Its sickening
SBK 09 (Super Bike World Championships), is Phenomenal for those who understand they are going to bust their ass a few times and they will need to (OF COURSE) learn the tracks and do the training. After I bought this game, I saw people complain about the "Training Mode" saying it won't "HELP" you do anything. Training Mode is exactly what its supposed to be, You go out the By Yourself, and practice turning laps, learning the track and getting used to the dynamics of riding the bike. I've only had this game for 24 HOURS, I've NEVER RIDDEN A BIKE even on a Simulation, and I can say if you go into this with a decent sense of what racing is about, you will go from spilling out, to turning laps and continuously learning lessons of racing and riding these bikes on a road course. Training mode, is A+.
If you need the training wheels just go on to the lower settings and work from there and try the SIM or EXTREME (highest level) settings later.
TO THOSE WHO THINK THIS GAME IS ONLY A PAINFUL MOTORBIKE RACING SIM
{I am a SBK newbie, but Im racing on ALL the extreme settings, so don't bypass this game. Racing here will be fantastic, they have fantastic settings and you should easily be able to find what works for you and still find challenges all over the place that will make you love this game,}
The gameplay is Phenomenal, and I have yet to race , but these racing graphics (and physics) blow any GAME PERIOD out of the way, including racers. But i think you get the picture by now as to how i feel about the game, what I'll do now is list to you impressive features, then a wishlist for future versions of this series.
*riders fall off bikes just like you would if you got your *** out there making newbie mistakes (lol)
*bikes get damaged when they flip and roll all over the pavement
*riders get injured when they bail from there collapsing bikes and tumble twist and cartwheel all over the track (If U Fall, Try to fall in the Sanddd!)
*track conditions actually matter, not just in weather, Sand can be tracked onto the track (watch out!)
*Weather conditions, Sunny, Cloudy/Overcast, Wet (not raining but slick with various wet spots), Raining (breathtaking raining Sim graphics and physics)
also, Watch Those Rubber Stripps, (the red&white road course lines). Theyre much more slippery than in Stock Cars and F1, If your not ready to hit them You Will Bust Your Ass)
*Large Variety Of Teams Bikes And Riders (im a newbie but there is alot of them)
*Pit Garages
(this is more technical info, ignore if u need to)
But I Love The Pit Garage and What You Can Do In It. The telemetry is my absolute favorite part so far, that you can track what you did right or wrong on any given lap you need to look evaluate. It helps me visualize what gears to be in at certain parts, and learn how to be confident on the track. The advice the engineers give is useful as well, those nuggets can help me learn something I never even thought about, especially as a newbie. BIKE SETTINGS, i want to salivate at learning and Loooking at all the mechanics of these bikes. Its not very hard to pick up though if you have any experience real or simulated with race cars.)
*HIGHLY impressive presention, even from the Main Menu on throughout everything else. These presentations take the Cake.
*Settings
(I just turned 22, I play on extreme settings, etc. My brother is 10 or (11 :o), he could enjoy the **** out of this game with just a simple change of settings. But for any others interested, it doesnt even have to be That simplistic, You can make this game whatever you want it to be. Even if your a absolute RACING newBie)
*Race Weekend is fantastic. Im A SBK newbie, but the 60 Min Practices, the Spectacular 2 Rds Of Qualifying, SuperPOLE, And the TWO RACES. OMG. Race WKND just Basically PLAY NOW functions, you can go to any track and pull a Race Weekend,. They also have a direct Play Now mode which just lets you go ahead pick your starting position and race
*Championship Mode, is what i mentioned above just in the form of a Season and Point Earning
You can skip any of these functions by the way, You may be Forced to skip them If you busted your ass and are Injured lol.
*REPLAY I havent raced yet, But after races, You can watch Either A TV BROADCAST OF HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR RACE or more selectively a replay in the eyes of a particular Rider or Event.
*The Camera Angles (last but not least) They have about 10, including 3 that put you right into the Eyes of the Rider, You will definately find one that you love.
WISHLIST
*GO Back To the SBK 09 Model. Start from there and Scrap the SBK 10 and 11 bulls****
*ALL Racing Leagues, I know they have already done it, but make sure you do bring that along. This would mean incredibly More TEAMS, and More TRACKS and COURSES
*Custom Soundtrack (every game needs to have it), though the SBK 09 Music IS Goood.
*NightTime Racing (how ******* cool would that be with THESE graphics.. ... ). Even if leagues dont do it in real-life, I want it
*Custom Team (in the vision of OWNER Mode, I want to be responsible for Bikes, Good/Poor Riders and everything else
*Don't Forget JORDAN 23RACE. Be sure to bring that league along tooo
I took time out to right my review, this game makes me want to save up for a motorbike and Im not even a real-life car or bike Fanatic. But this game makes me appreciate racing and race weekends Even more. I will be posting gameplay videos of this and even other games, Im just waiting on my HDTV money to arrive.

Game is the better of all that I have tried when it comes to motorcycle sport bike racing. I ride a motorcycle and will be hitting the track for the first time in the very near future. I would say this game is a good visual simulator. Helps you somewhat in choosing lines, thinking about entry speeds, braking, drafting, etc....
Video game companies need to step it up as do the consumers in order to have more and better motorcycle racing video games to be put out on the shelves......demand is the mother of creation...LOL
I would buy and enjoy this game if I were you and demand a bigger variety and choice in this gaming area.
Buy Super Bike World Championships SBK Now
it's 2012 and there isn't many options out there when it comes to bike games. I bought this game because of the reviews here and I'm satisfy with it, I had my doubts if I was going to get the right game because all bike games are name similar, so if your buying this game make sure it's from VALCON Games.
at gamestop they also told me there's not a lot of options and Moto has gotten bad reviews from everyone I decided not even to try it.
anyways this is what I've seen so far,
there's actually only 13 tracks, unless I haven't unlocked them yet.
there's like no bridges or tunnels, it's rare that you go uphill or downhill.
the mountain scenery tracks are awsome.
the music doesn't put you to sleep like GT5
this game could had been better if
it had more custom options, helmets etc.
more realistic crashes.
more tracks, tunnels, bridges, uphill tracks, downhill tracks and squirrels jumping on your screen whatever something.
don't expect a 2012 game, it's 09. It's cool and I give it 5 stars because it's fun to play, again don't expect 2012 graphics.
hope they make a second game, will be looking out for a new Valcon bike game.
For the price this is good.
good luck in your search.
Read Best Reviews of Super Bike World Championships SBK Here
This game just blew my mind! I used to play moto gp 07 but after getting moto gp 08 and realizing how bad it was I sold that game. The I downloaded the demo of moto gp 09/10 and it was the worse motorcycle game ever. The handling of the bike, physics and the way the bike feels all was wrong. Then I got the chance to try this game. This game is awesome and it is worth buying. Try simulation mode, it may be difficult at first but once you get it it will be very fun. Whatever you do, do NOT get moto gp 'cause it suuuucks. just read the review here at amazon.
Until THQ makes moto gp game, I suggest you don't buy it. The developers that make it right now don't know crap about motorcycles and they don't know what they are doing.
P.S I don't have an amazon verified purchase 'cause a friend bought it for me in United States. I am from El Salvador.
add me if you buy this game: da_milkman_
Want Super Bike World Championships SBK Discount?
I looked at all the reviews for motorcycle racing games and chose this one.
What I like is the difference between using different bikes. Ducati is smooth and predicatable while Aprilia's is fast but harder to control. The engine noises and power bands are right on also. As a novice gamer who doesn't spend a lot of time playing this game will last a long time. I probably won't buy another motorcycle game to compare it to but the fact this game from 2009 is still around and selling says something about it. The only improvement would be to put this years riders and bikes into the game.
