welcome to highside

Here at highside we believe the best, most exciting motorsport comes on two wheels. The 2009 BSB and WSBK seasons look to be very exciting with lots of rider movement in the closed season, as well as new teams and some familiar faces joining the fray.

World Superbikes

The 2009 World Superbike Championship promises to be one of the most exciting in years. This season sees the introduction of BMW with their all-new S1000RR superbike. Aprilia also return after a significant period of absence with their RSV4. Britain is well represented in this year’s championship in the form of the impressive Tom Sykes riding aboard a Yamaha R1. Favourite for the title and fans’ favourite Noriyuki Haga has swapped his R1 for the V-Twin powered Ducati 1098.

British Superbikes

The British Superbike Championship looks to retain its reputation for being the best domestic championship with yet another strong rider line-up. The 2009 season sees the return of popular midlands rider Chris Walker aboard the Motorpoint/Henderson backed Yamaha R1. The consistently strong GSE team has swapped their Ducatis for Yamahas this season with strong rider line-up, Leon Camier and James Ellison.

The whole team at highside will be here throughout 2009, bringing news and reaction as the build up to the start of the British and World Superbike Championships continues in earnest. Expect to see race reports week by week as the British and World seasons get under way in March.
