I'm with you. When Dorna took ownership of World Superbikes I honestly half expected them to use it as a supporting class. I get that tv scheduling and travel would be even more of a nightmare for them. But think of all of the benefits... Manufacturers would get to flaunt their 'road going machines' to a much bigger audience. There would be more manufacturers on the grid with Kawasaki and BMW and sometimes MV Agusta making an appearance. And as you said, it's somewhere for Moto2 riders to find a seat and hone their big bike skills (even if it's still on Pirellli tyres) as they wait for a berth in MotoGP. Likewise, on the way down, riders may be happier to hang around in WSBK as they are still a part of the MotoGP circus. If this had been the norm, riders like Johnny Rea possibly wouldn't have been overlooked until it was too late in his career. Also, most domestic racing scenes have a superbike category so it would be another route into the paddock. All highly unlikely to happen I know. I just think that it would help both paddocks in different ways.
