Well, I watched the first five (although I did fall asleep during the Canadian GP, I'm afraid) and, as you say, it made a welcome change from wall-to-wall bladder pursuits.
I did get to wondering how well the GP bikes would do against the F1 cars. I assume that they would lose on the corners and braking, but would be nimbler through the twisty bits and quicker up to speed out of them. The racing is a lot more exciting, though - both the GP and Superbikes had me on the edge of my seat - Rossi is just amazing!
I was also amused to hear the 'Murray Walker effect' demonstrated at the end of the first SB race, when we were told that Haga had no hope of winning, and then promptly did so!

All as usual - bikes were great, F1 nondescript to the point where I thought the Heidfeld incident with the fueller was the most 'interesting' occurence.
