2007 World Superbike season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2007 World Superbike racing season is the 20th F.I.M. Superbike World Championship season. The season started on February 24 at Losail, and finished on October 7 at Magny-Cours after 13 rounds.

The main title contenders were 2004 champion James Toseland riding a Honda, 2006 champion Troy Bayliss once again riding a Ducati 999 (Even though production of the 999 ended in 2006 and the bike was replaced by the Ducati 1098, Ducati produced 150 limited edition 999s to satisfy homologation requirements), former MotoGP rider Max Biaggi riding a Suzuki, and Noriyuki Haga riding a Yamaha

The championship was won by James Toseland in the very last race of the season. His 415 points put him 2 points ahead of Haga with Biaggi following along with 397 points. The manufacturer's championship was won by Yamaha.
